We know that emergencies can strike anytime. This is why we are also available post office hours and on weekends to take care of any emergency dental cases. Timely care can make the difference between saving and losing a tooth, and hence, it is important to reach out to our local emergency dentist in Reservoir as soon as you find yourself in an emergency. Our expert dentists are highly trained for all types of emergencies, and will be able to help you deal with the pain in the shortest possible time.
Immediate Steps to be taken in a Dental Emergency
If you are in unbearable pain, then there are some immediate steps that you could take, even before you reach us. These have been prescribed by the Australian Dental Association (ADA).
- Tooth Ache
Severe, shooting pain in the tooth could be a sign of a cavity. You could opt to rinse and clean the cavity, or use a cold pack on your cheek to assuage the pain. If it is still unbearable, you could choose an over the counter pain killer, after consulting with our dentist. - Broken / Fractured Tooth
In an event like this, you could just rinse and clean away the smaller tooth particles, to avoid the risk of swallowing them. If there are any tooth particles that could be saved and retained, bring them along in a plastic pouch, and we can try to fix them back. Using a cold compress will also help to reduce the swelling and pain. - Bleeding Lips and Gums
In case of a cut to the lips or gums, it helps to apply pressure to the affected area to quell the blood flow. You could further use a cold compress to stop the flow and reduce swelling. Doing this will help to keep the situation in check before you reach us. - Knocked Out Tooth
If your tooth gets knocked out, it is important to preserve the tooth in a good condition till you get to the dentist. Hold the tooth by the crown (not the roots), rinse it with water or milk, and try to gently reposition it in the socket. If this isn’t possible, then you could store the tooth in milk as well. It is imperative that the tooth stays moist at all times, till you reach us.
If you’ve got an emergency, give us a call immediately! We promise to not let you down. Our dentist will assess your dental issue thoroughly, and help you to resolve your tooth discomfort. Call us on 9460 6627.
