What is a dental emergency?
A painful tooth is more than enough to consult with our Ryde dentist. Dental emergencies can be brought on by many things, including biting into anything hard, work-related injuries, playing outside, and riding a bike.
A knocked-out tooth, an infected tooth, a tooth injury, and a severe toothache are a few examples of typical dental emergencies. If infections are not treated, they could spread to other areas of your neck, head, and mouth, leading to more severe health issues. These kinds of injuries should not be overlooked and need immediate attention right away.
What are the most common dental emergencies?
When food pieces get trapped between your teeth and no amount of flossing or brushing is able to remove them, you should schedule an emergency appointment with our dentist immediately.
A dental abscess is a serious, possibly dangerous condition where infection from a pus-filled pocket in the tooth has spread.
A broken or entirely lost dental crown exposes your teeth, making them more prone to decay and infection.
If you are missing a filling, this can easily lead to emergency dental problems, such as a chipped or broken tooth.
What are some common treatments for dental emergencies?
Tooth extraction is done using specialised tools. Our emergency dentist will loosen your tooth and delicately lift it from its socket.
Dental fillings are synthetic materials that are used to fill in cracks or holes in the enamel of teeth that are damaged, cracked, or decayed. Our emergency dentist fills in decayed tooth tissue after removing it.
Root canal therapy cleans out the infected root canal, prevents the tooth from becoming reinfected, and preserves the natural tooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should a noticeable swelling be treated?
How should a jaw fracture be treated?
This kind of injury needs emergency dental care. A significant head injury can be fatal and life-threatening, so contact our dental clinic as soon as possible. There are things you can do before visiting our emergency dentist.
- Wrap a towel around your jaw and chin to help keep your jaw in place.
- Slowly apply a cold compress to the area
around the fracture. This will assist in decreasing swelling and ease some of the pain felt in that specific area.
