EMERGENCY DENTAL SERVICES

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, causing pain, discomfort, and often concern. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken dental filling, getting prompt and professional care is crucial. At George Street Dental Surgery Bathurst, we offer emergency dental services to provide immediate relief and expert care when you need it most.

When Should You Seek Emergency Dental Care?

Some dental issues need urgent attention to prevent further complications or manage severe pain. Here are some common scenarios where emergency dental care may be necessary:

1. Severe Toothache or Pain
   • Persistent, intense tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue such as an infection, decay, or abscess. If you’re experiencing severe pain that doesn’t subside with pain relief methods, it’s essential to seek immediate dental assistance.
2. Knocked-Out Tooth
   • A knock-out tooth can often be saved if treated promptly. If possible, keep the tooth moist (in a container of milk or by gently placing it back in the socket) and get to our clinic as quickly as possible.
3. Broken or Chipped Tooth
   • Accidents can sometimes lead to chipped or broken teeth, which may cause sensitivity or sharp edges that could harm your tongue or gums. Emergency dental care can repair and protect the tooth to avoid further damage.
4. Lost or Broken Fillings and Crowns
   • If a filling or crown falls out, it can leave the affected tooth vulnerable to infection and discomfort. Seeking quick care can help restore your dental work and prevent further issues.
5. Abscess or Dental Infection
   • Abscesses are serious infections that form around the tooth root or in the gums and can lead to severe pain, swelling, and even fever. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent the infection from spreading to other areas of the mouth or body.
6. Injury to the Gums, Tongue, or Mouth
   • Trauma to the mouth, such as cuts or punctures to the gums, tongue, or cheeks, should be evaluated to ensure there’s no internal damage and to prevent infection.

Tips for Managing a Dental Emergency at Home

While it’s important to visit a dentist for proper care, here are some tips to help manage discomfort and stabilize the situation until you can see us:

• For Toothaches: Rinse with warm salt water, avoid chewing on the affected side, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• For a Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Try to gently reinsert it into the socket or keep it in milk until you reach our clinic.
• For Broken Teeth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply gauze if there’s bleeding. Use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth to reduce swelling.
• For Abscesses: Rinse with salt water to relieve discomfort and avoid putting pressure on the affected area.
