Common types of dental emergencies
Here are some frequent dental emergencies that will require emergency dental treatment, along with some tips on what you can do until you visit a dentist.
- Trauma (tooth fracture, bone fracture, lip and gum lacerations, knocked out/avulsed tooth) - It's crucial to schedule an appointment with our emergency dentist as soon as possible. The sooner a knocked out tooth is re-implanted, the higher the chances of a successful recovery.
- Toothache - Sharp or throbbing, on/off or constant, localised or referred to jaws: Rinse with warm water and floss the affected region to eliminate any debris. If the discomfort persists, please contact our emergency dentist in Perth as soon as possible.
- Gum abscess or swelling - If you have a gum abscess or swelling, call our after-hours emergency dentist right away. Once the region has been examined, we will be able to prescribe pain relief and/or medicines to treat the infection and design a treatment plan.
- Broken tooth - Any visible injury to a tooth should be treated right away. Chips or fractures in the tooth's live tissue might cause difficulties in the future. To avoid further damage, make an appointment with one of our Perth dentists.
- Lost filling or crown - Because exposed tooth tissue is typically sensitive to temperature, pressure, and air, it can be painful if a filling or crown comes out. If you lose a crown, keep it secure and schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
- Wisdom tooth pain -Apply an ice pack to the outside of your face for 20 minutes to minimise swelling. Repeat as necessary. You can also rinse your mouth out every 2 to 3 hours with warm salty water.
- Sore gums, ulcer or blisters -If you experience painful mouth ulcers or blisters that last longer than 2 weeks or they keep coming back, we recommend making an appointment to see our after-hours dentist as soon as possible.
Tooth pain home remedies
If you can't reach our dental staff right away, try some of these simple home treatments to get some pain relief before your visit. Your case may differ, and the information below is not medical advice. You may need to visit a dentist right away depending on the severity of your jaw, oral, or dental discomfort.
- Pain medication - When the discomfort is intense or you're having trouble sleeping, pain relief medication such as paracetamol or aspirin can help.
- Apply ice or a cold compress - To alleviate pain, apply a cold compress or ice pack to the affected side of your face. Toothaches usually create heightened temperature sensitivity, so don't put ice directly on your tooth.
- Salt water rinse - Salt water aids in the removal of germs from the mouth and may assist to reduce swelling. Add a quarter to half a teaspoon of salt into warm water and gargle for five seconds or more. Make sure not to swallow any of the water.
