What to Do During an Emergency
Knocked-Out or Broken Tooth
For possible reimplantation, it’s important to locate your tooth fragment and store it properly (completely submerged in milk or saline/contact solution). Get to our office within the next hour. Take care not to handle the root of your tooth, as this could damage the tiny ligaments that aid in reinsertion. Smaller broken fragments can sometimes be cemented back on; otherwise, the tooth is smoothed out and bonded over.
Abscessed Tooth
- Dental abscesses tend to come and go, often with or without pain. If you notice a small pimple on your gums, you will need to have a root canal performed at the earliest opportunity. Untreated abscesses can lead to tooth loss as well as medical emergencies requiring hospitalisation in rare circumstances.
Crown or Filling Falling Out
Caps can sometimes be recemented, but fillings cannot. Store your crown in a zip-top bag and bring it to our office. If it’s an evening or weekend, consider purchasing a temporary filling kit from the chemist to keep debris off of your exposed tooth. Do not chew on that side of your mouth until we have had a chance to repair the tooth.
Swelling or Bleeding
If you experience bleeding, use firm pressure to apply a compress to the area for a few minutes. If bleeding is severe and does not stop, head to the nearest emergency room. Swelling can be treated with an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen along with a cold compress. However, aggressive swelling that expands into your face requires immediate medical attention.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Have Any Questions?
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, dental abscesses, knocked-out or broken teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, and facial swelling due to infection. These conditions require immediate attention to prevent further complications.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If a permanent tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (top part), not the root. If it’s clean, try placing it back into the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or place it between your cheek and gums to keep it moist. Seek dental care immediately.
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment at Kellyville Smiles?
Yes, Kellyville Smiles offers same-day appointments for dental emergencies. If you’re experiencing severe pain or other urgent dental issues, contact us as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.
What if I have a dental emergency after hours?
If you experience a dental emergency outside of regular hours, call our office. Your call will be forwarded to our mobile line, allowing you to speak directly with Dr. El Shoura. We will provide advice on managing your pain and arrange to see you the next day. In severe cases, we may be able to meet you at our office outside of regular hours.
How can I manage dental pain until I see the dentist?
For temporary relief from dental pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. Avoid extremely hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks. If swelling occurs, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. However, these are temporary measures, and you should seek professional dental care promptly.
