Get urgent care from an emergency dentist in Oakville
Do not let dental emergencies keep you up at night. If you are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, a loose or missing restoration, or even tooth loss, you need urgent care. Burloak Centre Dentistry offers emergency care from an experienced dentist six days a week at our office in Oakville.
Infections can cause pain and sensitivity in your teeth that can make it impossible to sleep at night. If they are left untreated, the problem can spread to your bone or other parts of your body through the bloodstream. In many cases, prompt treatment can mean the difference between losing or keeping your tooth.
There are a variety of conditions that are considered dental emergencies beyond pain or sensitivity. A loose tooth, trauma to your gums or crown, or missing restorations should also be treated with urgency. Our team is standing by to provide information on first aid and get you in for a visit as soon as possible.
First Aid for Dental Emergencies
In an emergency situation, call our office right away. We are conveniently located in Etobicoke, serving communities throughout the area. Here are some tips on minimizing the damage, and your discomfort, until you get to our office:
Cracked or broken tooth
Gently rinse with tepid water, and be sure you save any pieces of tooth broken off.
Knocked-out tooth
Gently rinse out your mouth, and rinse off the tooth, using tepid water. Take care that you do not touch or dislodge any tissue that is attached to the tooth. Attempt to place it back in the socket, but don’t use force. Alternatively, cover it with milk in a small, clean container. See a dentist ASAP, because the window of opportunity for reattachment is narrow.
Dislodged dental restoration
You may be able to temporarily secure it with sugar-free gum or denture adhesive. Even if it won’t go back in place, bring the lost piece with you to our office.
Pain and Discomfort
Oral pain medication should always be used according to directions; never place a pill against the gum tissue or take more than the recommended dosage. Products that contain aspirin should be avoided if there is significant bleeding. You can use clove oil as a gentle topical medication to reduce pain.
Swelling
An external cold compress can help control swelling. Be sure to wrap a towel around ice to avoid potential skin damage.
How our team can help
Once you are in the office, your dentist will evaluate your condition and form a treatment plan to get your relief as soon as possible. We utilize advanced imaging equipment, such as iTero intraoral scanners and digital X-rays, so we can get a crystal-clear view of the extent of your issues and plan the best path to recovery. Every patient and situation are different, and we offer individualized treatment based on your needs and concerns. Once your dentist identifies the root cause of the problem, they may prescribe antibiotics, recommend a root canal or oral surgery, or suggest other procedures to restore your oral health.
In many cases, urgent care requires follow-up appointments. Our team will work with you to resolve the issue and prevent further infection and decay. As our patient, you are pivotal in preventing oral health issues, and we will educate you on the best ways to clean your teeth and gums and highlight areas of concern. We offer transparent pricing and will happily walk you through all your options before you commit to treatment.

With numerous dental clinics available—almost as many as there are Tim Hortons—we chose Burloak Centre based on their excellent Google reviews. Although we live nearly 45 minutes away, we decided to give them a try.
We’ve now been patients for almost a year and couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care we’ve received. Most recently, my husband experienced a dental emergency, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate him just before a long weekend. We’re incredibly grateful for their responsiveness and professionalism—he’s now heading to Vegas with confidence and peace of mind!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Dr. Tuli and her hygienist, Anna! From the moment I walked into the office, I felt completely at ease. Their professionalism, care, and attention to detail are unmatched.
Anna is incredibly gentle yet thorough, and she made the entire cleaning process feel like a spa treatment. Dr. Tuli is truly a master of her craft—her expertise and dedication to dental excellence gave me results I didn’t think were possible. My teeth have never looked or felt better, and I know they’re set up for long-term health thanks to her guidance.

Brought the whole family (mom, dad, 3 kids) for the first time using an insurance plan. Found out we didn’t have full coverage and out of pocket would have been too expensive for us to cover. The dentist was more then willing to give a discount so we could still be seen.
She was incredibly helpful and wonderful with all my kids but especially my youngest who has had a terrible experience with a past dentist and was very nervous. I highly recommend this place!
