What is a Dental Emergency?
Tea Tree Dental’s experienced dentists have extensive knowledge in managing dental emergencies. Here are some common emergencies we can address:
Broken teeth
A tooth can chip, crack, or fracture at any time. Small chips and cracks will not require a visit to an emergency dentist, and broken tooth repair can be delayed until a regular appointment is available. However, an emergency dentist visit is recommended if you’re experiencing severe discomfort or continuous bleeding.
Tooth loss
If you’ve experienced a knocked-out tooth, immediate action is crucial. Preserve the tooth and contact us immediately for reattachment or assessment to protect the surrounding gum tissue.
Sports injuries
Trauma during sports activities can lead to dental emergencies. We’ll assess the damage and provide the necessary treatment.
Pain
Experiencing constant pain in your teeth can be due to many reasons. We highly recommend scheduling a check-up immediately rather than waiting for the pain to intensify. However, pain doesn’t always run to your schedule, so don’t delay calling us to find out how we can help you. The pain may be due to an abscess or infection and require extraction or root canal treatment to prevent further complications.
Crown and bridge fractures
Symptoms may include tenderness when biting down or chewing, a sharp pain when releasing from biting pressure, irritated gums or localized swelling around the cracked teeth. If you have a damaged crown or bridge, our team can repair or replace it to restore your bite back to normal.
Wisdom teeth
Problematic wisdom teeth often require extraction to reduce pain and avoid dangerous swelling of the face. Our dentists have the expertise to perform this procedure safely and efficiently.
Dentures
For patients experiencing issues with dentures, we offer emergency repairs and adjustments to ensure comfort and functionality.
