Dental emergencies cover any injury, infection, or pain that stops you from eating, sleeping or concentrating on everyday tasks. Typical cases include knocked-out teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, bleeding that won’t slow after ten minutes, facial swelling, loose restorations and severe toothache that throbs or shoots to the ear.
When in doubt, please call our emergency dentists in Pimpama straight away. We can offer first-aid advice over the phone and usually reserve same-day appointments for urgent situations.
How to Handle a Dental Emergency
If an adult tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, rinse briefly in saline or tap water and try to reposition it in the socket. Failing that store the tooth in cold milk or saliva and get to the clinic within thirty minutes.
For broken teeth, save any fragments and keep them moist. Apply a cold pack to the cheek to limit swelling and use over-the-counter pain relief you would normally take for a headache unless advised otherwise by your general practitioner.
Please never use superglue or other household adhesives on teeth.
