First and foremost, please try to stay calm. A broken tooth can feel shocking, but the good news is that most dental emergencies can be treated quickly and effectively when you act fast. If you’ve cracked, chipped or completely broken a tooth, your first step should be to call our emergency dentist in Sydney right away. We offer same-day appointments and will prioritise getting you out of pain and into treatment as soon as possible.
While you’re waiting to be seen, here’s what you can do:
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water to keep the area clean.
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek or jaw near the injured tooth. This can help reduce swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid eating on that side of your mouth and steer clear of hard, crunchy or hot foods.
If you have the broken piece, try to place it in a clean container with milk or saline solution to keep it moist, and bring it with you to your appointment. In some cases, we may be able to bond it back in place.
