Trusted Emergency Dental in Burwood
Sudden pain or injury can leave you feeling hopeless. Our team is there for you around the clock.
What is a Dental Emergency?
Acute Toothache
Sudden toothache can be painful and make everyday activities feel draining. While we would consider this condition urgent, there are a few ways to aid in pain relief while you wait to be seen by our team. A few suggestions to help with relief include:
- Rinse with warm salt water
- Take an over-the-counter pain reliever (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc.)
- Hold a cold compress on the outside area of your cheek where you are experiencing aches
At Burwood Dental Care, the sooner our patients can come in for treatment for a toothache, the sooner we can relieve the pain and prevent long-term oral health damage.
Broken and Chipped Teeth
- Rinse with warm salt water
- Hold gauze on any cuts that are bleeding (10 minutes or until bleeding stops)
- Hold a cold compress on the outside area of your face closest to the tooth to halt swelling and ease pain
Book an appointment with Burwood Dental Care online if you require emergency services for your chipped or broken tooth.
Knocked-out Teeth
When you’re dealing with knocked-out teeth, time is of the essence. Our emergency services cover care for knocked-out teeth. Be sure to follow these steps to most effectively preserve your tooth and enable us to reinsert it:
- Pick up the tooth (by the crown) and rinse with water to remove any blood and debris
- Reinsert the tooth into the socket, if possible
- If reinsertion is not possible, place the tooth in a container of milk
- See our dentists as soon as possible (ideally within the hour)
You will have the best chance of saving your tooth if you follow the above instructions and seek our care within one hour. Call Burwood Dental Care to book your emergency dental Burwood appointment now.
