Get Seen Fast
What counts as a dental emergency?
If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, the simplest test is this: is there pain you cannot control, bleeding that will not stop, swelling, or a tooth that has been knocked out or broken? If yes, call us rather than waiting for a routine opening. Delays are what turn a filling into a root canal, and a root canal into an extraction.
Severe Toothache
Throbbing pain, pain that wakes you at night, or pain that painkillers no longer touch.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
A cracked, fractured or sharp broken tooth — especially if it is cutting your tongue or cheek.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Keep it moist in milk or saliva, handle it by the crown only, and get to us within the hour if possible.
Swelling or Abscess
Facial or gum swelling with a bad taste often signals infection and needs prompt attention.
Lost Filling or Crown
An exposed tooth is sensitive and fragile. Bring the crown with you if you still have it.
Bleeding That Won’t Stop
Ongoing bleeding after an extraction or an injury to the gums, lips or tongue.
Erin Mills patients: what to expect when you call
Tell us on the phone what happened, where the pain is, and whether there is any swelling. That lets us triage properly, prepare the room before you arrive, and tell you honestly whether you should come to us or go straight to a hospital emergency department (for example, for a suspected jaw fracture or an injury with breathing or swallowing difficulty).
How an emergency appointment works
- Triage on the phone: we ask a few quick questions and give you first-aid advice for the drive over
- Pain relief first: getting you comfortable is the priority before anything else
- Targeted X-ray: usually one or two images of the problem tooth, not a full series
- Diagnosis in plain language: what is wrong, what the options are, and what each one costs
- Same-visit treatment where possible: a filling, temporary crown, drainage or extraction as needed
- A plan for the rest: definitive treatment booked before you leave
Most emergency visits are resolved or stabilised in a single appointment of 30–60 minutes.

Investment
What does emergency dental treatment cost in Mississauga?
These are typical ranges that broadly follow the Ontario Dental Association fee guide — your exact quote is given after the exam, before any treatment starts. Most workplace insurance plans cover emergency exams and basic treatment, and eligible patients can use the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP). We will check your coverage with you at the desk rather than surprising you afterwards.
First aid while you are on your way to us
Rinse gently
Warm salt water (½ tsp in a cup) helps clean the area. Do not hold aspirin against the gum.
Cold compress
15 minutes on, 15 off, on the cheek — reduces swelling after a knock or injury.
Pain relief
Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packet, unless your doctor has advised otherwise.
Save the pieces
Bring any broken fragments, the lost crown, or a knocked-out tooth stored in milk.

Why Erin Mills patients choose Eglinton Oak Dental in an emergency
Erin Mills is a large, busy community, and when a tooth breaks on a Saturday morning the last thing you want is a call queue. We are a single-location, independently run practice — the person who answers the phone can see the actual schedule and tell you straight away whether we can fit you in. Dr. Sahil Gagnani and the team handle emergency exams, extractions, root canal therapy and crowns in-house, so in most cases you are not sent elsewhere mid-treatment. For anxious patients we also offer sedation dentistry, which makes a big difference when you are already in pain.
After the emergency: fixing the underlying problem
Stopping the pain is step one. Step two is understanding why it happened. A cracked molar in a patient who grinds at night usually needs a night guard as well as a crown. Repeated abscesses often trace back to untreated gum disease. A cavity that reached the nerve is a signal that a checkup and cleaning schedule would save you money over the next few years. We will always tell you what we see, in order of urgency, and let you decide the pace.

Frequently asked questions: emergency dentist in Erin Mills
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Erin Mills?
Yes. We hold emergency slots on each day we are open, Monday to Saturday. Call 905-607-1112 as early as possible and we will fit you in the same day whenever the schedule allows.
Are you open on Sunday for dental emergencies?
No, we are closed on Sundays. Our hours are Monday to Saturday, 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. For a genuine after-hours emergency involving uncontrolled bleeding, facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, or trauma, go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
An emergency exam is typically $90 to $150 and one or two X-rays $35 to $70. Treatment is quoted separately after diagnosis, and you will always see the price before we begin.
What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root, rinse it briefly in milk or saline if dirty, and either place it gently back in the socket or keep it in milk. Get to a dentist within an hour if you can — the sooner it is re-implanted, the better the chance of saving it.
Do you accept emergency patients who are not already registered?
Yes. You do not need to be an existing patient. Bring your insurance details and a piece of ID and we will handle the rest.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance or the CDCP?
Most private plans cover emergency exams, X-rays and basic treatment. Eligible patients can also use the Canadian Dental Care Plan. We check your coverage before treatment so there are no surprises.
My toothache stopped on its own — do I still need to come in?
Usually yes. Pain that disappears often means the nerve inside the tooth has died, which does not resolve the infection. It commonly returns as an abscess weeks later, so it is worth having it checked.
How far is the clinic from Erin Mills Town Centre?
We are on Eglinton Avenue West just west of the Erin Mills Parkway area, typically about a five-minute drive from Erin Mills Town Centre, with free parking outside the door.
