When life throws an unexpected curveball—especially involving your oral health—you need care you can rely on. Tooth pain, chipped or broken teeth, or sudden injury to the soft tissues of your mouth can be both distressing and disruptive.
Prompt, professional treatment can often relieve pain quickly and prevent the issue from becoming more serious. That’s why our practice prioritizes emergency appointments, ensuring you receive timely care when you need it most.
We are open 7 days a week from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, making it easier for you to access care when emergencies arise. (250) 372-8578
If you are experiencing dental pain or have suffered a dental injury, don’t hesitate to call us. Even if our office is closed, we strive to be available to you—at the very least, to offer guidance and reassurance over the phone until you can be seen.
Your comfort and care are always our priority.
A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention to relieve severe pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or avoid further damage to your teeth and oral health.
Common dental emergencies include:
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, it’s always best to call our office. Our team can guide you on the next steps and help determine how quickly you should be seen.
Prompt care can prevent many dental issues from becoming more serious. However, in cases of significant trauma, severe swelling, or signs of a serious infection, you may need immediate medical attention. If our clinic is closed and your condition is urgent, please visit your nearest emergency room or urgent care center.
If you experience a dental emergency outside of our regular hours, call our office at (250) 372-8578 and listen to the prompts to reach the dentist on call. If you’re in extreme pain, have significant swelling, or have experienced trauma, go directly to the nearest hospital or urgent care facility. For less urgent matters, leave a message, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. At Desert Hill Dental, we strive to provide guidance and reassurance, no matter the time of day.
