Am I a candidate for dental emergencies?
This page covers true dental emergencies: a tooth that has been knocked out or badly chipped, pain severe enough to disrupt sleep or eating, a swollen face or jaw, or a lost filling or crown exposing raw tooth. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, call 905-277-1560 and describe it to the team rather than waiting to see if it gets worse.
What happens during dental emergencies at Sauga Smiles Dental?
Call first
Call 905-277-1560 and describe what happened. The team will tell you what to do in the meantime and work to fit you into the same day's schedule.
Immediate at-home care
For a knocked-out tooth, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if dirty, and try reinserting it into the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or your own saliva, not water, and get to the clinic as quickly as you can.
Emergency exam
Dr. Rohit Khurana or Dr. Aanchal Khurana examines the tooth and surrounding area, takes an X-ray if needed, and gets you out of pain as the first priority.
Treatment plan
Depending on what is found, treatment may mean a filling, a crown, a root canal, an extraction, or reinsertion of a knocked-out tooth, with follow-up steps explained clearly before anything is done.
What should I expect afterward?
Recovery depends entirely on the emergency treatment provided. The team gives specific aftercare instructions before you leave, whether that is bite and diet guidance after a filling or crown, or wound care after an extraction.
Does insurance or CDCP cover dental emergencies?
Sauga Smiles Dental does not publish a fixed price list for this treatment, since the right plan depends on what a doctor sees at your exam. The clinic is a CDCP-approved provider, bills most major insurance plans directly, and offers 0% financing for patients who qualify. Call 905-277-1560 and the front desk will work out your personal cost before you commit to anything.
The worst thing a patient can do with a broken tooth or bad pain is wait it out. Call us the moment it happens. A knocked-out tooth especially has a window where reinserting it can actually work, and that window closes fast.

Common questions about dental emergencies
Severe or sudden tooth pain, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, a lost filling or crown that exposes the tooth underneath, facial or jaw swelling, and dental abscesses are all treated as emergencies at Sauga Smiles Dental in Mississauga.
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. If it looks clean, try gently placing it back in the socket. If that is not possible, store it in milk or your own saliva and call Sauga Smiles Dental at 905-277-1560 right away. Time matters, so head to the clinic as soon as you can.
Sauga Smiles Dental works to see emergency patients the same day whenever possible, helped by being open seven days a week. Call 905-277-1560 as soon as the problem starts rather than waiting.
Yes. The clinic is open Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, in addition to weekday hours, so a weekend emergency does not have to wait until Monday.
