When it can't wait
What should I do in a dental emergency in Brampton?
A dental emergency is any situation where pain, injury, or infection demands treatment right away, not in two weeks, not tomorrow. Nanwood Dental treats emergency patients in Brampton during regular office hours, Tuesday and Friday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Call (905) 874-8555 as soon as something goes wrong, and we will do everything we can to see you the same day.
Knowing what qualifies as an emergency matters. Severe toothache, a swollen jaw, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, a lost crown or filling, or any sign of abscess: these are all situations where waiting causes real harm. Infections can spread. Teeth that could have been saved get lost. Pain that could have been resolved in one visit compounds into something far more involved.
If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call Nanwood Dental at (905) 874-8555 during office hours and we'll talk you through it. Our Brampton team will advise you on immediate first-aid steps and get you in as fast as possible. You should not have to manage dental pain alone.

Know the signs
Is this an emergency?
01
Severe toothache or throbbing painPersistent pain that doesn't respond to over-the-counter relief often signals infection or nerve involvement. Don't wait it out.
02
Knocked-out or loose toothTime is critical. A knocked-out tooth can often be re-implanted if you reach us within an hour of the injury.
03
Broken, cracked, or chipped toothA crack can expose the inner pulp to bacteria. Even a chip that seems minor can worsen quickly without prompt treatment.
04
Lost crown or fillingAn exposed tooth is vulnerable to sensitivity, fracture, and decay. We'll restore the seal and protect what's underneath.
05
Dental abscess or facial swellingA painful, swollen lump near a tooth is a sign of infection. Left untreated, abscesses can spread. Call us immediately.
06
Soft tissue injuryCuts or lacerations inside the mouth can bleed heavily. We'll assess the injury and stop the bleeding safely.
07
Object caught between teethIf flossing fails to dislodge something painful, don't force it with sharp tools. Call us before you cause further damage.
08
Persistent or unexplained bleedingBleeding that won't stop after an extraction or injury requires immediate attention. We'll identify and address the cause.
First-aid guide
What should I do
while I wait?
Rinse with warm salt water
A gentle saltwater rinse helps reduce swelling, clean the area, and provide temporary relief while you make your way to us.
Save a knocked-out tooth in milk
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. If possible, reinsert it into the socket. If not, store it in milk or saliva (never water).
Apply a cold compress
Hold a cold pack or ice wrapped in a cloth against your cheek in 10-minute intervals to reduce swelling and numb pain.
Take OTC pain relief carefully
Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help manage pain. Do not place aspirin directly against gum tissue. It can cause burns.
Avoid hard foods and pressure
If a tooth is broken or cracked, chew on the opposite side and avoid anything that could worsen the damage before your appointment.
Call us before anything else
Many steps depend on your specific situation. Call us and our team will guide you through exactly what to do.

Root Canal Treatment

Contrary to reputation, modern root canals are no more uncomfortable than a filling. We remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the tooth, stopping the infection and relieving your pain.
Tooth Extraction

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Emergency Dentistry Questions, Answered
Does Nanwood Dental see dental emergencies in Brampton?
Yes. Nanwood Dental treats dental emergencies in Brampton during regular office hours, Tuesday and Friday, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Call (905) 874-8555 as soon as pain, swelling, or injury starts, and our team will do everything possible to fit you in the same day. We're closed Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, so outside those hours, leave a voicemail and we'll call back when the office reopens.
Does Nanwood Dental perform root canals in Brampton?
Yes. Nanwood Dental performs root canal treatment for Brampton patients to save teeth with infected or inflamed pulp. We remove the damaged tissue, clean and seal the canal, and relieve the underlying pain, often in one or two visits. Modern root canals typically feel no different than getting a filling, and most patients return to normal activity the same day.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If that isn't possible, store it in milk or saliva and call Nanwood Dental in Brampton right away at (905) 874-8555. A knocked-out tooth can often be saved if we see it within about an hour of the injury, so time matters.
Does Nanwood Dental extract teeth, and is it always necessary?
Nanwood Dental treats extractions as a last resort in Brampton and exhausts restorative options like fillings, crowns, and root canals first. When a tooth truly cannot be saved, we remove it carefully and discuss replacement options such as implants or bridges before you leave. Most extraction patients at our Brampton office return to normal activity within a day or two.
Does Nanwood Dental remove wisdom teeth in Brampton?
Yes. Nanwood Dental evaluates wisdom teeth with digital X-rays and recommends removal in Brampton when they're impacted, crowding neighbouring teeth, or causing infection. Most wisdom tooth extractions at our office are straightforward outpatient procedures with a predictable recovery. If your wisdom teeth are causing pain or swelling, call and we'll assess whether extraction is the right next step.
