Fractured or lost teeth and crowns

Fractured or lost teeth and crowns

If possible, save the piece of your broken tooth, crown or veneer. Try to avoid removing any remaining tooth fragments yourself. If the area is bleeding, apply gauze and rinse your mouth with warm water to keep it clean until you can attend your emergency appointment.

Toothache

Toothache

If you experience severe toothache, call us on 0468 456 433 to schedule an emergency appointment. In the meantime, apply ice and use over the counter pain medication to reduce pain and inflammation.

Gum disease

Gum disease

Gum disease progresses slowly and tends to start with small symptoms such as tender gums and slight bleeding. If these are ignored the gums can flare up and become painful, periodontal abscesses can form around the teeth, and the resulting infection can lead to tooth loss as the gum tissue pulls away from the base of the teeth.

Traumatic and sports accidents

Traumatic and sports accidents

The most common injuries are knocked out and chipped teeth, soft tissue damage and jaw fractures. Mouthguards are strongly recommended to limit the chance of damage, but not all accidents are sports related. Injuries in the mouth should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible to avoid further problems.

Broken dentures

Facial swelling

Facial swelling

Facial swelling should always be treated as a dental emergency. There can be many causes, including dental abscesses, impacted wisdom teeth, allergic reactions, post-operative swelling after oral surgery, gum disease and sinus problems. For emergency care, contact us on 0468 456 433.

Wisdom teeth

Wisdom teeth

Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause extreme pain or infection. When a tooth has partially erupted, food and bacteria are easily trapped, leading to discomfort and a gum infection known as pericoronitis. When a wisdom tooth is submerged under the gum and growing sideways, an emergency extraction is often recommended. Call 0468 456 433 to book.

Extractions

Extractions

Excessive decay, gum disease and infection are the most common reasons for an emergency tooth removal. The dentist will numb the area with a local anaesthetic and explain the procedure to you. Afterwards you will be given post-operative care instructions and we make sure you are feeling well before you leave.

Anxious patients

Options if you would rather not know

Dentistry can be unpleasant for some people. We cater for everyone from the mildly anxious to those with a major phobia of anything teeth related, and over the years we have developed techniques to make a visit as comfortable as possible.

Relative analgesia (laughing gas)

Takes the edge off while you stay awake and relaxed, and you recover within minutes.

Intravenous (twilight) sedation

For patients who would rather not be aware of the treatment at all.
