Emergency dental care in Truro, NS

Tooth pain, a broken tooth, or swelling won’t wait — and neither should you. We hold emergency slots open every day.

About emergency dental care

Dental emergencies don’t keep office hours. Whether it’s sudden pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling, or swelling, getting seen quickly protects the tooth and gets you out of pain fast.

We keep time open each day for urgent problems, and we welcome emergency patients whether or not you’ve been to us before. If you’re in pain, call — don’t wait for a regular appointment.
