Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them. Knowing what to do and who to call can make a stressful situation much easier to handle. At Nundah General and Emergency Dental, we treat a wide range of urgent dental issues. Our goal is to provide care quickly, safely and with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.
Common Dental Emergencies
Dental emergencies can take many forms. Some of the most common include:
- Chipped or broken teeth — Damaged teeth often occur due to sports, falls or accidents.
- Severe tooth pain — Tooth pain may be caused by decay, infection or inflammation.
- Knocked-out teeth — Prompt treatment can sometimes save the tooth.
- Lost fillings or crowns — While not always painful, they can expose teeth to further damage.
While some issues are obvious, others may not seem urgent at first. Even mild pain or swelling should be checked promptly by a dentist to prevent complications.
What to Do Before You See a Dentist
If you experience a dental emergency, here are a few steps you can take:
- Stay calm. — Anxiety can make pain feel worse.
- Control bleeding. — Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth if necessary.
- Manage swelling. — Placing a cold compress on the cheek can help manage swelling.
- Protect the tooth. — If a tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist in milk, lukewarm water or saline and avoid touching the root.
- Contact a local dentist promptly. — For residents of Nundah and surrounding suburbs, calling an emergency dentist in Nundah can help ensure timely care.
