The first course of action is to seek an appointment with a dentist immediately. At Central Dental Elsternwick, we endeavour to see our emergency dental patients within the same day or as soon as possible.
While waiting for your appointment, there are certain things you can do such as rinsing your mouth with warm salt and water, finding broken pieces – if possible, applying cold compress in swollen area and refraining from chewing on hard food and hot/cold beverages.
Please schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. A lost or severely eroded filling will require immediate attention, even though it may not be causing any pain. This is because your exposed filled tooth will be more susceptible to further damage and infection if not treated promptly.
While waiting for your dental appointment, it is essential to take care of the affected tooth and manage any discomfort. If you can find the filling, save it. It is also recommended to gargle with salt water to keep the area clean, avoid chewing on the exposed tooth and continue maintaining your oral hygiene, being gentle when brushing the area.
If your adult tooth is suddenly knocked out, you should seek an immediate consult from a dentist.
While you are waiting for your appointment, you should pick up the tooth from the crown side, not the root, rinse it with plain cool water and try to insert it back into the socket gently. In case where reinsertion is inconvenient, it should be kept moist by storing it in milk until your visit.
A sudden toothache could result from one of these common conditions: tooth decay or gum disease, cracked tooth, recent dental treatment, or tooth infection. If you are experiencing either sudden or gradual toothache, book your appointment so we can determine the underlying cause early on and prevent the situation from aggravating further.
