Frequently Asked Questions
What is an emergency dentist?
An emergency dentist is a dental professional who provides immediate care for dental issues that require urgent attention, such as severe tooth pain, broken teeth, lost fillings, or dental injuries. Emergency dentists are often available outside of regular office hours, including nights and weekends.
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies typically include:
- Severe toothache or pain that does not subside with painkillers.
- A knocked-out tooth.
- A chipped, cracked, or broken tooth.
- Severe bleeding from the mouth.
- An abscess or infection causing swelling or fever.
- Lost fillings, crowns, or other dental restorations.
- Injuries to the mouth or jaw.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If a tooth is knocked out, it’s important to act quickly:
- Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), not the root.
- Rinse the tooth gently with water if dirty, but do not scrub or remove any attached tissue.
- See an emergency dentist immediately, ideally within 30 minutes.
What can I do to relieve severe tooth pain before seeing an emergency dentist?
- Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
- Use dental floss to remove any food particles that may be causing the pain.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling.
- Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gum as this can cause burns.
What should I expect during an emergency dental visit?
During an emergency dental visit, the dentist will first assess the severity of your condition and ask about your symptoms. They may take X-rays to diagnose the issue. Treatment will focus on relieving pain and stabilising the situation. Depending on the problem, the dentist might perform procedures such as fillings, extractions, or prescribing antibiotics for infections. Follow-up visits may be necessary for further treatment.
