Cost of Emergency Dental Exam
The cost of an Emergency Dental Exam depends on the amount of time spent assessing the dental emergency, ranging from a half unit to two units of time, with a unit of time being fifteen minutes. The codes relevant to complete examinations for new patients in the Ontario Dental Association’s Suggested Fee Guide appear as follows:
Examination And Diagnosis, Limited Oral
- 01205 – Examination and Diagnosis, Emergency: $54-157
These fees do not include the cost of dental x-rays. Therefore, a typical emergency dental exam could cost as low as $54 (with no x-rays required) or up to $321 (with 1 bitewing x-ray at $42, one periapical x-ray at $40, and a panoramic x-ray at $82). The dentist will customize the number of x-rays for your depending on your dental needs.
Emergency Dental Exams are considered a basic service under all dental insurance plans and should be covered to your maximum insurable limit, but be sure to find out from your dental insurance plan provider how much you are eligible for before going ahead with dental treatment. Our fees are consistent with the ODA Fee Guide.
Depending on the diagnosis achieved from the Emergency Dental Exam, the dentist will present to you various treatment options. The actual cost of treatment will vary.
For patients without dental insurance, Atlas Dental is pleased to offer dental financing through Dentalcard. Affordable payment plans start at 7.95% for terms of 6 months to 6 years. To learn more about Dentalcard dental treatment financing, follow this link.

How to Manage a Dental Emergency Until You See a Dentist
When a dental emergency happens, there are a few simple steps you can take to manage the situation and minimize discomfort before getting professional care:
- Use Pain Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help reduce pain and inflammation. Always follow the dosage instructions and avoid placing aspirin directly on the affected area, as it can cause irritation.
- Avoid Eating on the Affected Side: Try not to chew on the side of your mouth where the issue is located to prevent further damage and discomfort.
- Keep the Area Clean: Gently rinse your mouth with warm water after meals to keep the area clean and free of food particles that could aggravate the issue.
- Rinse with Salt Water: A warm saltwater rinse can help reduce swelling and clean the area. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and rinse gently.
- Apply a Cold Compress: If there’s swelling, place a cold compress on the outside of your cheek near the affected area to reduce inflammation and numb the pain.
These measures can help ease discomfort until you can get professional dental care. However, it’s important to contact a dentist as soon as possible for proper treatment.
