You're enjoying lunch out with friends when something terrible happens. You hear and feel a crack when you bite into their homemade crusty bread ( your favorite), and now your tooth is zinging! You've now got a broken, uncomfortable tooth and a dental emergency.
What should you do? The first thing to do is to remain calm. When you have a trusted emergency dentist in Casuarina, NT, that you can rely on for prompt emergency dental services, there is no need to worry.
The next step is to contact your team at Casuarina Square Dental Care so we can assess your situation over the phone and provide instructions on your next steps.
How to Handle Your Dental Emergency Until You Can See Your Emergency Dentist
When you know what to do in an emergency situation, it reduces your stress. Here are some common dental emergencies we handle at our Casuarina dental clinic and what to do until we can see you.
A Broken or Chipped Tooth
We should address a broken tooth as soon as possible to avoid further damage and relieve any discomfort it's causing. Even if it's just chipped, our dentists should see you soon to smooth the tooth and make it more comfortable.
A Knocked-Out Tooth
If your tooth has become dislodged, time is of the essence for us to save it. Contact us immediately and carefully transport the tooth to our clinic by replacing it in its socket, if possible or using milk or saliva to keep it moist and alive during transport.
A Severe or Constant Toothache
This could indicate a tooth infection, so we must see you as soon as possible. Please don't wait to contact us since a tooth infection won't resolve on its own.
A Lost or Broken Dental Restoration
If one of your dental fillings or crowns is broken or missing, we'll need to repair your tooth immediately to avoid further damage or an infection.
