Sydney Emergency Dentist offers after-hours emergency dental care, so we encourage you to please call us right away if you are experiencing a dental emergency, even if outside of regular hours.
Here are some other tips for dealing with dental emergencies:
Assess the situation. Determine the severity of the dental emergency. Is it causing severe pain, bleeding or potential damage to your oral health? This will help you gauge the urgency of the situation.
Manage pain or discomfort. Until you can see a dentist, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. You may also consider placing a cold compress to your face near the area to help temporarily relieve or reduce swelling.
Handle knocked-out teeth. Be sure to handle a knocked-out tooth with great care, and try to gently rinse it with water without touching the root. If possible, try placing it back in its socket. Ultimately, it's important to keep the tooth moist so it stays viable, so you can also place it in a container of your saliva or milk and bring it with you to the dentist.
Control bleeding. If you're experiencing bleeding from the mouth or gums, rinse your mouth with warm saltwater and apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth to the area. If the bleeding is severe and doesn't stop, we strongly encourage you to visit an emergency room for immediate attention.
