Knocked Out Tooth?
If you or your kid knock out a tooth, it is important to act fast to increase chances of saving the tooth. First, locate the tooth and handle it by the crown (top part) and avoid touching the root.
If the tooth is very dirty, run it under water very gently or rinse it with your own saliva or milk. Be careful not to rinse under a strong stream of water or scrub the tooth. Carefully place tooth into the socket with the root side in and gently bite on a piece of gauze or tissue until you have taken your child to Fairfield emergency dentist for kids.
If you are unable to reinsert the tooth, place it in a container of milk or in your mouth until your appointment. Avoid using water, as it can damage the tooth.
It is crucial to seek emergency dental treatment as soon as possible, the longer the tooth is out the less chance of survival it has. Contact us to book a same day appointment if you or your child has a knocked-out tooth.
Toothaches & Wisdom Tooth Pain
Toothaches can cause severe discomfort and require immediate emergency dental care. There are several factors that cause toothaches, such as decay, broken teeth, infections, wisdom teeth or grinding. However, identifying the root cause of toothache is difficulty without an examination of the affected tooth.
At the appointment, our dentist will conduct a thorough emergency examination, and may require x-rays and provide you with emergency treatment options. Wisdom teeth assessment may require more detailed x-rays such as OPG or CT scan to assess the cause of pain and treatment options.
Broken Tooth Or Broken Filings
If you have a broken tooth or filling, it is important to seek emergency treatment as soon as possible to prevent further damage or infection. Broken teeth can be painful due to exposed nerve or sharp edges that can cut your tongue or soft tissues. Weakened broken teeth can be further damaged if left untreated, causing tooth loss or infections.
We recommended to rinse you mouth with warm water and salt to clear any debris or broken fragments. Manage the pain with painkillers such as paracetamol until your appointment. Avoid hard crunchy foods that may damage the teeth further and avoid eating on the side with the broken tooth. Do not use any materials to fix blunt sharp edges as it can damage the tooth further.
Facial swelling
Facial swelling can be caused by various dental issues such as infection, trauma, or impacted teeth. It can be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, difficulty breathing or difficulty swallowing. It’s important to seek emergency dental checkup as these symptoms can be life threatening if untreated.
You can apply cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling. You can use a cold pack, frozen food packs or cold, wet towel. Take pain relievers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to help manage the pain and reduce swelling. Sleeping with you head elevated can help by using an extra pillow. Contact our clinic or book online for a same day appointment to provide you with further care. If you experience any life-threatening symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, nausea, difficulty breathing, blurry vision or fatigue visit you nearest hospital or call 000 immediately.
