Dial X for A Dentist or 911

‘Dial 911 for any medical emergency’ my parents taught me this when I was small and I taught my son the same thing. It’s as knowledge passed on from one generation to the next. However when my 6 years old lost his first tooth and started bleeding he came running up to me in the kitchen asking me to call 911 because he had lost his tooth and according to him it was a medical emergency. I laughed it off at that time and explained to him why losing a milk tooth was not an emergency, but then it got me thinking. What number do you call for when a tooth problem especially during the holiday season when all the dentists are away? Is there an Emergency Dentist in Downtown Toronto number we can call? 

I called my dental clinic the next day to find out if they had any such number to contact the doctor for when of a dental emergency. Although the person on the other side of the receiver could not give any such number she did assure me that there is always a doctor on call at their clinic in case of any dental emergency.

Many of the Dentist Downtown Toronto requires their patients to make an appointment at least a week before their visit, which I think, is totally ironical because how can you tell your tooth will hurt a week after your appointment. What if it hurts a day after your visit, does the dentist check your teeth for free or do you have to make an appointment again? 

Talking about Dentist in Toronto, people generally prefer to visit a dentist nearby their homes because travelling down town takes a longer time and sometimes the waiting hours are too long.

The Better Option between Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry

Loosing teeth due to age and injuries is something that no one likes, especially when one has to wear dentures. There is however a new technology today called dental implants that many dentists offer. A dental implant is basically an artificial set of teeth or tooth placed in your jaw with the help of screws. Contact your Dental Implants Toronto Dentist to find out if they offer both permanent and temporary implants.

The good thing about implants as compared to dentures is that are long-lasting and they look just like your normal teeth. With dentures there is always the disadvantage of the dentures breaking. Implants are like normal teeth and so you do not have to remove them to clean them.

The cost is calculated after a dentist has had a look to find out if your gums are strong enough and if you need any bone grafting, how many implants you need and the type of procedure you choose. However, if you need to straighten your teeth to improve the appearance of your face cosmetic dentistry is what you need. Not all dentist can call themselves cosmetic dentists therefore you need to check with your dentist to see if the offer Cosmetic Dentist Toronto procedures.

The clinics that specialize in cosmetic dentistry will usually offer treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, invisalign, bonding and inlays. The cost again greatly depends on the type of cosmetic treatment you need and the number of sessions needed. Like all dental procedures the dentist will have to check your teeth and will then suggest on the type of treatment you need. Teeth’s whitening is one of the most popular treatments that many patients like getting done to enhance their smiles to get good profile pictures.
