What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that requires immediate attention from a dentist to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or prevent further damage to your teeth, gums, or mouth. Dental emergencies can happen for a variety of reasons, including trauma to the mouth, infection, and tooth decay. Some common dental emergencies include:

Toothaches: Toothaches can be caused by tooth decay, infection, or trauma to the tooth. They can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and can be accompanied by swelling or sensitivity to hot or cold foods.

Broken teeth: Teeth can break due to trauma, decay, or biting down on hard objects. Broken teeth can be painful and may expose the nerves inside the tooth, which can cause further damage if left untreated.

Lost fillings or crowns: Fillings or crowns can become loose or fall out, leaving the tooth exposed and vulnerable to further damage.

Abscessed teeth: An abscessed tooth is an infection that forms at the root of a tooth. It can cause severe pain and swelling and can lead to further complications if left untreated.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to seek immediate dental care. Ignoring a dental emergency can lead to further damage and more serious health problems.

Our Emergency Dental Services 

At 57 Dental & Implant Centre, we offer a wide range of emergency dental services to help relieve your pain and restore your oral health. Our experienced dentists will assess your situation and develop a personalised treatment plan to address your specific needs. Some of the emergency dental services we offer include:

Root canal therapy: If you are experiencing severe tooth pain or sensitivity, you may need root canal therapy to save the affected tooth. Our dentists are experienced in performing this procedure and can provide you with the care you need to relieve your pain and restore your oral health.

Dental extractions: If a tooth is too damaged to be saved, our dentists may recommend a dental extraction. We will ensure that you are comfortable throughout the procedure and provide you with aftercare instructions to promote healing.

Dental fillings: If you have lost a filling or have a cavity, our dentists can provide you with a dental filling to restore your tooth and prevent further damage.

Dental crowns: If you have a broken tooth or a tooth that has been weakened by decay, our dentists can provide you with a dental crown to restore the strength and function of your tooth.

Emergency denture repairs: If you have dentures that have been damaged or broken, our dentists can provide you with emergency repairs to restore the function and appearance of your dentures.

In addition to these emergency dental services, we also offer general dental services such as teeth cleaning, dental exams, and x-rays to help you maintain good oral health and prevent future dental emergencies.

Preventing dental emergencies

While dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of experiencing a dental emergency. These include:

  • Brushing and flossing regularly to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Wearing a mouthguard while playing sports or engaging in other high-risk activities.
  • Avoiding hard and sticky foods that can damage your teeth.
  • Getting regular dental check-ups and cleanings to catch any potential issues early on.

By taking these preventative measures, you can reduce your risk of experiencing a dental emergency and maintain good oral health.
