Applewood Heights is full of kids on bikes on the Applewood Trail, teens playing for school teams, and weekend games at local parks. Most mouth injuries happen far from the dental chair, so what a parent or coach does in the first half hour matters most. Pick what happened for step-by-step instructions.
General first-aid information based on international dental trauma guidance. It isn't a diagnosis. Call us so we can advise on your child's specific injury.
A two-minute kit turns a panic into calm. Check items off as you pack:
Head south on Dixie Road to Dundas Street East and turn right (west). We're at 918 Dundas St E, Suite 208. Just east of the Mississauga Chinese Centre at 888 Dundas, which makes a handy landmark if you're rushing.
Take Tomken Road south all the way to Dundas and turn right (west). You're passing through the original Applewood Heights streets and there's no highway to merge onto.
MiWay Route 1 Dundas runs along Dundas Street past our building. From the Bloor–Dixie area, connect on Route 5 Dixie south to Dundas, then transfer to Route 1. Teens heading over after school can check live times in the Transit or MiWay apps.
Children's mouths behave differently from adults', and some of the most important emergency signs show up days or weeks after a fall. Here's what we watch for in the families we see from Applewood Heights, Applewood Hills and the streets around Applewood Heights Secondary.
A front tooth that darkens weeks after a bump may mean the nerve inside was damaged. It often doesn't hurt, so it's easy to ignore. Book an appointment. Some teeth can be monitored, but others need treatment such as a root canal before infection sets in.
A pimple-like bump on the gum or a puffy cheek near a baby tooth usually means infection. Baby teeth hold space for adult teeth growing underneath, so it's worth treating promptly rather than waiting for it to fall out.
Older teens often feel pressure and swelling at the back of the jaw as wisdom teeth try to come in. If it's hard to open wide or there's a bad taste, call us. We can examine and offer wisdom teeth removal when it's needed.
Small chips are rarely painful, but sharp edges cut the tongue and larger breaks can expose the inner tooth. Many chips can be repaired in one visit with tooth-coloured dental bonding.
When your child has just hurt a tooth, the last thing you need is a large bill to submit yourself. We bill your dental plan directly, and you pay only the portion it doesn't cover.
We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan, which covers eligible children under 18. We'll confirm coverage and explain any difference before treatment.
Children's teeth are small and a traumatized front tooth has little room for error. Magnification lets us see fine cracks and treat the nerve precisely, giving an injured tooth its best chance of being saved.
Once the emergency is handled, our GBT cleaning uses warm water, air and a fine powder instead of heavy scraping. It's gentle for nervous kids and cleans around braces well.
Dr. Caminschi has practised for over three decades. Parents, children and grandparents can all be seen in one office, so an emergency visit can become your family's dental home.
We're open Saturdays 8:00 AM–3:00 PM (except long weekends) for morning-game injuries, and until 8:00 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays for after-school problems.
We find the source of the pain and relieve it, often with root canal therapy to save the tooth.
From small chips to fractures, repaired with bonding, fillings or dental crowns.
Re-positioning and splinting when possible, with follow-up to protect the nerve.

No. Unlike adult teeth, baby teeth should not be put back in the socket. Doing so can damage the adult tooth developing underneath. Control the bleeding with gauze, keep the tooth to show us if you like, and call to have the area checked for fragments or damage.
As fast as you safely can. A tooth that goes back in within about 30–60 minutes has the best chance of reattaching. Keep it moist and ideally back in the socket, otherwise in cold milk and call us on the way.
We're on Dundas Street East between Tomken and Dixie, along the southern edge of Applewood Heights. For most homes between Dundas and Burnhamthorpe it's a few minutes' drive, with no highway required.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan covers emergency exams and many urgent treatments for eligible members, including children under 18. Some services need pre-approval, and the plan pays a set fee that may not cover the full cost. We'll confirm what's covered and explain any difference before treatment.
Yes. New patients with emergencies are welcome. Call so we can find the soonest time and prepare for your visit.
Yes. We bill most dental plans and the Canadian Dental Care Plan directly, so you only pay the portion your plan doesn't cover. We'll tell you that amount before treatment, which is one less thing to worry about while your child is hurting.
