Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

Dental Abscess or Facial Swelling
A dental abscess is a pus-filled infection caused by bacteria inside a tooth, the gums, or following dental trauma. Symptoms may include:

Seek urgent dental or medical care immediately if swelling is present. While waiting for treatment, apply a cold compress externally to reduce swelling. Do not apply heat.

Severe Toothache
Persistent or worsening tooth pain may indicate infection, nerve damage, or deep decay. Emergency treatment helps prevent the condition from spreading and provides fast pain relief.

Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Tooth
Even small fractures can worsen quickly. Prompt assessment allows us to stabilise the tooth and prevent further damage or infection.

Jaw Pain or Difficulty Opening Your Mouth
Jaw pain, stiffness, or difficulty eating may be related to infection, trauma, or joint issues and should be assessed urgently by a dentist.

Knocked-Out Adult Tooth (Dental Avulsion)

A knocked-out permanent tooth can often be saved, but time is critical. What to do immediately:

Handle the tooth by the crown only (not the root)
Rinse gently with milk or briefly with water if dirty
Reinsert the tooth into the socket if possible and hold it in place
If reinsertion isn’t possible, store the tooth in milk (not water)
Do not let the tooth dry out

Ideally, the tooth should be gently placed back into its socket immediately, but if that isn’t feasible, it must be kept moist in a container of milk or a specialized saline solution to keep the cells viable while you head to the dentist.
