Emergency Dentist Maroubra

Whether your tooth is cracked, chipped or completely missing it is important to contact us to schedule you in for treatment. An emergency doesn’t always have to involve a fracture which is why we encourage our patients to think of severe toothaches as an emergency, as well as cracked or broken teeth. In the unfortunate case of tooth loss (a knocked out tooth) we have some simple instructions to follow on your way to our office.

1. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part) and avoid touching the root
2. Gently rinse the tooth in milk
3. If possible, place the tooth back into its socket
4. Visit our team of dental professionals at Gentle and Caring Dentistry

If you have dental pain and aren’t able to make it into our practice today be sure to treat your mouth delicately; avoid hot or hard foods, try not to bite or grind your teeth and avoid touching the area with your fingers or tongue.

Your teeth and the function of your mouth is imperative to daily actions like eating and speaking, which is why it is so important that you get the care you need as soon as possible. If you leave your damaged teeth untreated you could be subjecting your mouth to the spread of bacteria, shifting teeth or even tooth loss.
