If you're experiencing a toothache, it's crucial to have a dental professional assess the issue promptly. Even mild pain should not be ignored, especially if you haven't had a recent dental check-up. Early intervention is essential in case of a gum or tooth infection. At Monte Albert Dental Surgery, we understand that no dental problem is too small to address. At the first sign of discomfort, book a consultation appointment to prevent unnecessary pain that may worsen in the coming months.
In the unfortunate event of a dental injury resulting from an accident, it's important to seek dental attention promptly, especially after addressing any other serious injuries. If you have knocked or broken your teeth, follow these guidelines:
Locate the broken pieces of the tooth: Bring them to your emergency dental appointment.
Knocked the tooth out whole? Here's what to do:
Find the tooth and hold it by the top part (avoid touching the root).
If the tooth is dirty, briefly rinse it under cold running water and reposition it (children may need assistance from a parent). Bite on a handkerchief to hold it in place.
If you can't position the tooth correctly, place it in a glass of milk or saline if available. Alternatively, keep the tooth in your mouth, between the molars and the inside of the cheek, while making your way to the dentist. For young children, who might accidentally swallow the tooth, have them spit in a container and place the tooth in it. Avoid storing the tooth in water.
Book an emergency dental treatment immediately:
