Toothache Relief
Toothaches can be debilitating, especially if they hurt so much that you can’t carry out your day’s activities normally. If you experience a sudden and painful toothache, we will do our best to provide emergency dental care.
Here are some tips for getting toothache relief until you get professional assistance:
- Remove any lodged food debris by rinsing your mouth with warm water.
- If you have any swelling around your teeth, use a cold compress outside your cheek. Do NOT apply heat or a hot compress in the affected area. It will increase blood flow which will intensify the pain.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary.
Repair Lost or Loose Fillings
Although dental fillings are designed to last and stay in place for long periods, they can get damaged, become loose or fall out unexpectedly. When this happens, you want your fillings to be repaired or replaced as soon as possible. We will do everything we can to provide the service you need as soon as possible, helping you return to normal life sooner than later.
If any of your dental fillings have become loose or damaged, you can:
- Make sure that your mouth and teeth are clean and free from food particles after eating. This will help minimise bacteria on the exposed areas of your teeth.
- Contact us to make an appointment as soon as possible.
Cracked Tooth
Cracked teeth can be caused by all sorts of things, whether it’s biting something hard or falling or getting hit on the mouth. Minor cases of cracked teeth may not hurt much, but larger cracks (or larger pieces breaking off) can be painful. This pain may intensify when you bite or chew food while eating.
When dealing with cracked, chipped or broken teeth, it’s best to:
- Keep your mouth clean after eating by rinsing your mouth thoroughly with warm water.
- If there is any swelling present, use a cold compress around the affected area to help reduce the swelling and relieve pain.
- Use dental cement to temporarily cover part of your tooth that is cracked or broken.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapies are complex procedures, and any complications relating to it can be distressing and painful. Whether it’s an aggressive tooth infection, a deteriorated tooth seal or simply nagging pain deep on the root of your tooth, many things can happen that may require root canal therapy.
If you’re experiencing such complications, it’s important to get professional dental assistance as soon as you can. We will always do our best to schedule you an appointment at our emergency dental clinic so that we can address your issues and minimise any pain or damage to your teeth as soon as possible.
When dealing with complications that may require a root canal therapy, you should:
- Seek professional dental assistance as soon as possible.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary.
- Keep the affected area as clean as possible.
- Avoid putting pressure on the affected tooth.
