Broken or chipped teeth
If you have a cracked or broken tooth, rinse the area with warm water. Apply a cold compress if there is facial swelling. Call us Immediately.
If you can find the broken pieces of your tooth, your emergency dentist may be able to reattach them. Otherwise, we can repair your tooth with techniques including dental bonding or dental veneers.
Wisdom tooth pain
Pain around your wisdom teeth can be a sign that they are impacted, or that infection has set in. As well as pain, you may have difficulty chewing, persistent bad breath, or a bad taste in your mouth.
While you wait to see us, you can keep the area clean by gently brushing around the painful wisdom teeth, and rinsing your mouth with warm salty water.
Broken Jaw
If you suspect that your jaw is broken, it is important that you go to your local emergency department immediately for treatment. To minimise pain and swelling, you can place a cold compress gently over the area.
If you or a family member are in dental pain or in need of an Emergency Dentist, contact us for an urgent care appointment.
Dental Infection
Only your dentist will be able to rule out a dental infection or dental abscess by examaning the area and using diagnostic measures.
If you do suspect you have a dental infection, it is very important that you schedule an emergency dental appointment, as infections can get worse and spread when left untreatment.
Symptoms of a possible dental infection could include local pain, swelling, tenderness or discomfort around teeth or gums. You may also feel generally unwell with “flu-like” symptoms.
It is extremely important to rule out any infections present so as to avoid them getting worse or the potential risk of the infection spreading.
We have same day emergency appointments available so that we can treat your emergency as soon as possible.
