Types Of Dental Emergencies
Understanding the signs of a dental emergency can help you take swift action, potentially saving your teeth and preventing further complications.
Dental emergencies can range from severe toothaches to infections to cracked or knocked out teeth. Some of the more common dental emergencies include Bleeding (trauma affecting your mouth), a broken denture, toothache, facial swelling, lost dental filling or crown, infection, knocked out tooth and object stuck in teeth.
1. Severe Toothache
The symptoms of tooth pain include sharp, throbbing pains , or constant pain. In some cases, tooth pressure alone can cause pain . A tooth infection , an impacted tooth, or nerve problems can also cause tooth pain .
2. Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums often signal gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease caused by plaque. Consistent brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are essential to prevent progression to more serious periodontitis. If bleeding persists, consult a dentist promptly.
3. Knocked Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is a serious dental emergency that requires immediate care. The best course of action is to gently rinse the tooth, avoiding the root, and try to reinsert it into its socket. Prompt action is crucial for maximizing the chance of saving the tooth.
4. Lost Dental Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown leaves your tooth vulnerable, causing pain and raising the risk of cavities or infection. Quick dental attention is vital to replace it and prevent further harm. Temporary fixes, like dental wax, can offer short-term protection.

Worried About Costs?
Our pay later options include Afterpay and zipMoney. Payment plans are essentially loans, which can support you in managing the high cost of dental treatment. Rather than paying for your dental work in an upfront lumpsum, a payment plan allows you to pay in instalments over a period of time. We have onboard, payment plan service providers who will make your payment plan’s instalments even more affordable.
There are several payment options available at our surgery including Cash, Cheque, EFTPOS, Credit Card, HICAPS and Direct Deposit.
