Pain, Swelling and Abscesses

If you are experiencing pain and/or swelling in your mouth or face please contact the dentist as soon as possible. A dental abscess is a pocket of pus which is formed due to an infection in the tooth. The signs of an abscess might be persistent pain, tooth sensitivity to hot or cold, sensitivity when chewing or biting, swelling, fever or a bad taste in the mouth. An abscess will not heal on its own, so it is important that you seek dental treatment as soon as possible.

Tooth Fracture

A dental emergency, such as a fractured or knocked-out tooth, can happen at any time.

If a tooth is knocked out (avulsed), it’s important to act quickly. If you can, find the tooth and handle it by the crown, not the root. Place the tooth in a container with your saliva or with milk. Contact our dental practice immediately to book an emergency appointment. Bring the tooth with you. In some cases, a dentist may be able to re-implant a knocked-out tooth.

If a tooth is fractured or broken, it is still recommended to make an appointment with our team as soon as possible for a professional assessment and treatment.

Losing the Entire Tooth

If your adult tooth is knocked out, it may be saved. Time is critical; act immediately. Stay calm and find the tooth. Hold the crown, not the roots. Don’t rinse it. Place it in your mouth next to your cheek or in saliva or milk. Don’t let it dry out. See a dentist within an hour, bringing the tooth. They may re-implant it and recommend a soft diet for two weeks. Monitor for symptoms like discoloration or pain, as a root canal may be needed.

Crown or Veneer Falling Out

Sometimes it can be uncertain whether you have lost part of your natural tooth, veneer or crown. In this case, we would recommend that you manage this the same as you would a fracture tooth. Make an appointment with the dentist and bring the crown or veneer with you. If possible, the dentist will reattach the crown or veneer back onto the tooth.

Emergency Patients

We have emergency appointments available, so we can be there when you need us the most. If you are experiencing pain, have suffered trauma to your teeth or have noticed swelling in your mouth, please contact us as soon as possible so we can see how we can best help you.
