Life happens, and when it does the team at Kensington Square Dental is here to help with your dental emergency. Whether it’s a broken tooth, sudden pain, or trauma to the mouth, prompt treatment is critical. We’re equipped to handle urgent dental issues with skill, care, and modern techniques to help restore comfort and prevent further damage. No matter the situation, we’ll work to get you out of pain and back to smiling as soon as possible.
BROKEN TOOTH
A broken or cracked tooth can be painful and may worsen if left untreated. Whether caused by injury, biting into something hard, or underlying decay, our team can assess the damage and recommend immediate treatment to preserve the tooth. Depending on the severity, solutions may include bonding, crowns, or more advanced restorative options to restore strength and appearance.
ABSCESS
A dental abscess is a serious infection that should be addressed immediately. If you’re experiencing swelling, severe pain, or a fever, contact us right away. Our emergency dental team will assess the situation and provide the treatment you need—often draining the infection and prescribing antibiotics—before restoring the affected area to prevent future issues.
LOST FILLING OR CROWN
Losing a filling or crown can expose sensitive tooth structure and leave your smile vulnerable to damage and decay. We provide timely replacements and repairs, using modern materials that match your natural teeth and protect the affected area. Don’t delay treatment—early intervention can help you avoid more complex problems down the road.
KNOCKED-OUT TOOTH
When a tooth is knocked out, every minute counts. If handled quickly and properly, the tooth may be saved and re-implanted. Contact our clinic immediately for instructions and emergency care. We’ll do everything we can to preserve your natural tooth, or if that’s not possible, offer restorative options to fill the gap and restore your smile.

FAQ
Everything You
Need to Know
What should I do if my tooth gets knocked out?
When a tooth is knocked out, every minute counts, so call our Burnaby clinic right away for guidance at (604) 298‑5595. If you can, gently pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), rinse it without scrubbing, and keep it moist, ideally in milk or tucked in your cheek, until you reach us. Handled quickly, there’s a real chance the tooth can be saved and re-implanted. If it can’t, we’ll talk you through restorative options to fill the gap.
Is a broken or cracked tooth a dental emergency?
It can be, especially if there’s pain, swelling, or a sharp edge cutting into your mouth. A cracked tooth can worsen if left untreated, whether it was caused by injury, biting something hard, or underlying decay. Our team at Kensington Square Dental in Burnaby will assess the damage and recommend the right fix.
What should I do if I lose a filling or crown?
A lost filling or crown exposes sensitive tooth structure, leaving it vulnerable to damage and decay, so it’s best not to wait. Keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side, and call our Burnaby dental clinic at (604) 298‑5595 to arrange a timely repair or replacement and avoid more complex problems down the road.
How do I know if I have a dental abscess?
A dental abscess is a serious infection, and signs often include swelling, severe or throbbing pain, and sometimes a fever. If you’re experiencing any of these, contact us right away, as an abscess needs prompt attention.
Will a dental emergency be painful to treat?
Our first priority in any emergency is getting you out of pain, and we use modern techniques and a gentle approach to keep you comfortable throughout. Many patients arrive anxious and leave relieved. Whatever the situation, our experienced Burnaby team will walk you through what’s happening and care for you with skill and compassion.
Can a dental emergency wait until my next regular appointment?
Usually not, and waiting can make things worse. Issues like a knocked-out tooth, an abscess, severe pain, or a lost filling tend to escalate quickly when left untreated, leading to more discomfort and more involved treatment later on. If you’re dealing with any of these, it’s best to call us as soon as possible so we can relieve your pain and protect your smile.
