Emergency Care for Common Dental Concerns
Our practice provides urgent dental care for a wide range of emergency situations:
Loose Bridges
A loose bridge can cause discomfort and affect your ability to eat properly. Avoid chewing on the affected side and contact us promptly so Dr Hany can assess and secure your restoration.
Loose Crowns
If your crown feels loose or has come off completely, keep it safe and bring it to your appointment. In many cases, the crown can be re-cemented if it remains undamaged.
Loose Fillings
A filling that’s become loose or fallen out can leave the tooth vulnerable to further damage or sensitivity. We recommend booking an urgent appointment to have the filling replaced or the tooth assessed.
Broken or Chipped Teeth
Chips and breaks can range from minor cosmetic concerns to more serious damage affecting the tooth’s structure. Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and contact our practice for an evaluation.
Soft Tissue Damage and Gum Bleeding
Injuries to your gums, tongue, cheeks, or lips may require professional attention, particularly if bleeding is persistent or the wound appears deep. Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze and seek care promptly.
Loose or Knocked-Out Teeth
A tooth that’s been loosened or completely knocked out requires immediate attention. Time is critical—contact us straight away for guidance and to arrange an urgent appointment.
Tooth Abscesses
An abscess is an infection that can cause significant pain, swelling, and general unwellness. This is a serious condition that requires prompt treatment. Do not delay seeking care if you suspect you have an abscess.
Toothaches
Persistent or severe tooth pain can indicate an underlying issue such as decay, infection, or damage. Over-the-counter pain relief may provide temporary comfort, but professional assessment is important to identify and address the cause.
Cracked Teeth
Cracks in teeth aren’t always visible but can cause sharp pain, particularly when chewing or exposed to temperature changes. Early assessment can help determine appropriate treatment options.
What Should I Do With Knocked-Out Teeth?
A knocked-out permanent tooth is a dental emergency that requires quick action. Here’s what to do:
- Handle the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root
- If the tooth is dirty, rinse it gently with milk or saline—do not scrub or use tap water
- If possible, try to reinsert the tooth into the socket and hold it in place by gently biting down on a clean cloth
- If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk or hold it inside your cheek to keep it moist
- Contact our practice immediately—the sooner you receive care, the better the chance of saving the tooth
Prevention Is Best
While emergencies can’t always be avoided, good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help reduce your risk. Wearing a mouthguard during sports and avoiding chewing hard objects like ice or pen caps can also help protect your teeth from unexpected damage.
If it’s been a while since your last visit, consider booking a routine appointment to help maintain your oral health and catch potential issues early.
