Dental emergencies are important and leaving a dental issue to grow, can cause bigger problems in the future.
Toothaches are common, however we cannot neglect the pain and sometimes, emergency treatment is needed. Neglecting dental problems, whether big or small, can have serious implications, including cavities, severe pain and perhaps a more costly dental procedures in the future.
No matter how you sustained a dental injury, it is important to consult an emergency dentist straight away!
There are ways you can handle a dental emergency while waiting to receive professional treatment.
Toothaches
A toothache is a painful sensation in or around a tooth, often indicating underlying dental issues such as cavities, gum disease, tooth fractures, or infections. The problems associated with toothaches can vary in severity, leading to persistent pain that disrupts daily activities and can signal serious health concerns if left untreated.
To address a toothache, immediate solutions include taking paracetamol (Panadol) or Ibuprofen (Nurofen) can reduce pain and inflammation. You can also apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide temporary relief. It’s important to see the nearest emergency dentist as soon as possible for the right treatment at the right time to avoid further complications.
If your tooth has been knocked out by a sporting incident, or just by biting something too hard, we recommend holding it by the crown (visible part of the tooth when in your mouth) and gently rinse any dirt or debris away from the root.
As soon as possible, we recommend you place your tooth in a small cup of milk as this will encourage cell growth and minimise the risk of the tooth dying. Contact one of our friendly dentists here at Everton Park Dental immediately for urgent dental care – the sooner the tooth can be reinserted in your mouth, the better chance that it can be saved.
If you’ve lost a crown, rinse the inside and reattach it using tooth cement- which is available at most pharmacies, or you can also use petroleum jelly for a temporary fix.
Do not use any glue that is not designed for dental use – this can cause more issues.
Its best to contact your dentist straight away as a crownless tooth or missing filling can become painful and worse over time, and your tooth may be weaker than your other teeth.
