Emergency Dentist in Kanpur — urgent care, same appointment.
Dental emergencies prioritised at MY DENTIST, Kakadeo. MDS Endodontist on-site for definitive treatment — no referrals, no delays.
What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any condition causing acute pain, active infection, trauma to teeth or gums, or sudden loss of function that requires prompt professional attention. Delayed treatment almost always results in more complex, more painful, and more costly management.
At My Dentist, Kakadeo, Dr. Asheesh Sawhny's specialist endodontic and restorative background means the most common emergencies — infected teeth, fractured teeth, abscesses — are managed definitively at the same clinic, without referral.
Dental emergencies we treat.
Severe or escalating toothache
Dental abscess — swelling of face, jaw, or gum
Cracked, fractured, or broken tooth
Tooth knocked out (avulsed) from trauma

Soft tissue injury — cut or laceration to gums or cheek
Post-extraction bleeding that is not resolving
Orthodontic wire causing injury to cheek or gum
What to do in a dental emergency.
Severe toothache or abscess
Call My Dentist immediately. Do not take antibiotics without a dental assessment — they treat infection but do not resolve its cause. The tooth requires professional treatment.
Knocked-out tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with clean water — do not scrub. Store in milk or saliva and reach a dentist within 30–60 minutes. Speed determines success.
Broken tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to the cheek if swelling is present. Avoid biting on that side and see a dentist the same day.
Lost crown or filling
Avoid chewing on the affected tooth. A small amount of sugar-free chewing gum or pharmacy dental cement can temporarily cover it. Book at My Dentist as soon as possible.

The emergency dental process at MY DENTIST.
Immediate assessment
Dr. Sawhny examines the affected tooth. An RVG X-ray is taken to assess root, bone, and pulp status accurately.
Pain relief
Local anaesthesia is administered immediately where needed. Pain relief is the first clinical priority.
Definitive or interim treatment
Where possible, the problem is resolved definitively — abscess drainage, root canal initiation, tooth stabilisation, or recementation of a restoration.
Follow-up
Post-emergency follow-up is scheduled to complete treatment and ensure full resolution.
Definitive emergency care — not a temporary patch.
Digital RVG X-rays for immediate radiographic diagnosis. MDS Endodontist on-site. Most emergencies resolved in a single appointment — no unnecessary referrals.

Emergency Dentistry FAQs.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Any condition causing severe pain, facial swelling, active infection, trauma to teeth, or sudden inability to function normally. If unsure, call — it is always better to be assessed.
Can a dental abscess be dangerous?
Yes. An untreated abscess can spread infection to the jaw, neck, and in severe cases the airway — a life-threatening condition. Any facial swelling with dental pain requires same-day attention.
Will I definitely lose the tooth in an emergency?
Not necessarily. Dr. Sawhny's specialist background means extraction is a last resort. Even severely infected or fractured teeth can often be saved with root canal treatment and a crown.
Can a knocked-out tooth be reimplanted?
Yes — if treated within 30–60 minutes of the injury. Store the tooth correctly (in milk or saliva, never dry) and reach My Dentist as quickly as possible. Prognosis drops significantly with time.
What if my emergency happens outside OPD hours?
Call the clinic number and follow the recorded instructions. If you are experiencing facial swelling or airway compromise, go to your nearest hospital emergency department immediately.
Is emergency dental treatment more expensive?
Emergency appointments may carry an urgent appointment fee. However, early emergency treatment costs far less than managing a condition that has been allowed to deteriorate further.
I have had a toothache for weeks — is that an emergency?
Yes. A persistent toothache indicates active infection or pulpal damage. It will not resolve on its own and will worsen. Book an urgent appointment at My Dentist for assessment before it escalates.
