Seek emergency dental care before it gets worse
Not only do we provide regular dental services and check-ups daily, we save appointment times for urgent appointments. We can schedule a short notice visit to deal with anything that can’t wait until your next appointment.
An emergency can be a broken crown, broken filling or implant , facial swelling, severe toothache, abscess or an infection.
It is important to seek emergency dental care before it gets worse and to avoid any long term complications, or prevent any further damage that may require more expensive treatment.
If by some reason we are unable to see you immediately, you’ll be placed on our standby list as a high priority to ensure we can fit you in as soon as possible.
Please follow the below tips if you have any of the below emergencies:
- Broken tooth – If you have a broken permanent or adult tooth, then try and keep the tooth moist as much as possible. Try and place the tooth in the socket without touching the root and call us as soon as possible.
- Cracked tooth – Try and wash/rinse the tooth with warm water and put cold compression to avoid any swelling and call us as soon as possible.
- Swollen cheek due to a toothache – Swelling is a symptom of some infection in the tooth. Any swelling symptoms require rinsing with warm salt water and try and remove any food stuck gently (do not use any sharp instruments). This requires evaluation by the dentist immediately to avoid further complications.
- Wisdom tooth pain –This is likely to be caused due to an infection and/or position of the wisdom teeth and the way they have erupted. Please rinse it with warm salt water and/or put an ice pack to compress and get evaluated by the dentist as soon as possible.
