Emergency Dentist

An emergency dentist is a dentist who provides dental services outside of regular clinic hours.

Emergency dentists in Sydney have extensive experience in the skills and services necessary in a dental emergency, such as immediate pain relief; performing successful root canal treatment; saving cracked teeth with dental fillings, dental crowns or dental veneers; repairing broken teeth; surgically treating of damaged gums and roots from accidents; fixing orthodontics, and other fixtures; and performing surgical and general tooth extraction.

Though emergency dentists may not be able to complete dental treatments in one appointment only, especially if the patient has a dental infection that requires a course of antibiotics but the dentist will never leave you in any discomfort.

It is important to know an emergency dentist in your area to save you the panic and stress during an emergency and to ensure faster treatment in cases of emergency.

When would you need to visit an emergency dentist?

  1. Chipped or broken tooth 
    • Save and rinse any broken pieces of the tooth
    • Rinse mouth with warm water
    • Bite a piece of gauze on the affected area for about 10 minutes or until bleeding stops.
    • Apply cold compress to the affected area or near the broken/chipped tooth.
    • Consult with an emergency dentist Sydney as soon as possible.
  2. Knocked out tooth
    • Find the tooth and rinse with clean water while holding the tooth by the crown
    • Do not rub the tooth so as not to detach any tissue fragments on the tooth.
    • If possible, do not force the tooth back into the socket.
    • If reinsertion is not possible, place the tooth in a small container with milk.
    • Best results will be seen if the dentist can reimplant the tooth within one hour
  3. Tooth pain
    • Rinse mouth with warm water
    • Use dental floss to remove any food debris
    • Take over-the-counter pain relievers but never put aspirin or any other pain killers against your gums because contact with the affected gums can burn the tissue. Instead, apply cold compress to the outside of the cheeks or lips.
    • Call Cosmetique Dental for emergency dental care
  4. Dental abscess
    • An abscess is a condition that can cause damage to the surrounding tissue and adjacent teeth.
    • If left untreated, the infection can cause swelling of the face or jaw, or possible spread to some parts of the body
    • Look for a dental emergency near me as soon as possible.
    • In cases where a dentist is not available, rinse mouth with salt-water solution using half teaspoon of table salt in 250 milliliters of water.
  5. Lost filling or crown
    • It is important to seek immediate help because fillings and crowns are meant to protect damaged tooth.
    • Often, a missing tooth crown or filling indicates an underlying problem such as caries.
    • There is also a possibility of increased sensitivity to the affected tooth.
  6. Post-dental surgery complications

 

Emergency dentistry is not restricted to these situations. In times of discomfort and cannot wait for your dentist’s appointment, you can check for an emergency dentist near me in Sydney ahead of time.
