Same-Day Appointments

Same-Day Appointments in Canton

At Canton Pediatric Dentistry, we understand that dental emergencies and urgent concerns don't always happen during regular business hours or with advance notice. That's why we reserve time in our schedule for same-day appointments to address your child's immediate dental needs. Whether it's sudden tooth pain, a dental injury, or an urgent concern that can't wait, we're here to provide prompt, professional care when your family needs it most.

When to Request a Same-Day Appointment

Same-day appointments are available for various urgent situations including severe tooth pain, dental trauma from accidents or sports injuries, swelling or signs of infection, lost fillings or crowns, broken or chipped teeth, and orthodontic emergencies. We also accommodate urgent needs for children with special circumstances, such as those traveling from out of town or facing significant anxiety about waiting for treatment.

Our Same-Day Process

When you call for a same-day appointment, our experienced team will assess the urgency of your child's situation and work to accommodate you as quickly as possible. We maintain flexibility in our schedule specifically for these situations and will provide guidance over the phone about immediate care measures while you're en route to our office. Our goal is to see urgent cases as quickly as possible while ensuring all patients receive appropriate attention.

What to Expect

During a same-day appointment, our focus is on addressing the immediate problem and providing relief for your child. We'll perform a thorough examination, take necessary X-rays if appropriate, and provide treatment to resolve the urgent issue. Depending on the situation, we may be able to complete treatment in one visit or may need to schedule follow-up appointments for more comprehensive care. We'll always explain the situation and treatment options clearly.

Preparing for Your Same-Day Visit

To make the most of your same-day appointment, bring your child's insurance information, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical history. If possible, bring any pieces of broken teeth or lost dental appliances. Help keep your child calm by explaining that the dentist will help make their mouth feel better. Our team is experienced in managing urgent situations and will work to ensure your child's comfort throughout the visit.
