Have you ever chipped a tooth playing footy or bit down too hard on lollies? Well, you’re not alone! Dental emergencies can happen anytime, even when we’re being careful or having a grand time. However, when they do happen, knowing what to expect can help ease the stress of the situation.
At Sydney Emergency Dentist, we provide fast and effective emergency dentistry in Sydney and the surrounding areas, including Manly, Neutral Bay, North Bridge and Mosman. Here’s a guide on what to expect during your emergency visit and how you can prepare.
First Things First: What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency isn’t always easy to identify. Common emergencies include severe tooth pain, broken or chipped teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and knocked-out teeth. If you’re unsure, it’s best to err on the side of caution, and we invite you to give us a call. We prioritise same-day care for patients experiencing these urgent issues at Sydney Emergency Dentist.
What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit
When you arrive, our team will quickly assess your situation to determine the cause of your pain or issue. You can expect a thorough examination, which may include x-rays to diagnose the problem accurately. Once the issue is identified, we’ll discuss your treatment options. Common emergency procedures include:
- Tooth extractions for severely damaged teeth
- Root canal therapy for infections
- Crown or filling replacement
- Repair of broken or knocked-out teeth
Throughout the process, we ensure you’re comfortable and fully informed about your treatment.
How to Prepare for Your Emergency Appointment
Although emergencies are unpredictable, there are steps you can take to be ready. We encourage you to keep our contact information on hand for quick access, and if a dental injury occurs, try to stay calm. If possible, please bring any broken or knocked-out teeth or restorations with you to your appointment. Avoid eating or drinking before your visit if anesthesia might be needed.
