Emergency Dentist Penge
Professional Emergency Treatment
Dental emergencies don’t often occur in regular business hours, so Dental Care Centre is available to assist you. Whether it’s a chipped tooth during sports or a lost filling, our team can help.
In case of a tooth chipping or breaking due to an injury or accident, it is crucial to seek immediate dental attention. The same applies to knocked-out teeth. The sooner you consult a dentist, the greater the possibility of re-implantation, depending on the extent of the injury.
Local Emergency Dentist in Penge
Our dental clinic offers a comprehensive range of dental services, including general, cosmetic, and specialist procedures, as well as urgent dental care. We are equipped to handle a variety of dental emergencies, such as toothaches, cracked or broken teeth, crowns or veneers that have come loose or broken, tooth abscesses, loose crowns or implants, root canal treatments, broken braces or dentures, and gum infections.
Before commencing any treatment, our emergency dentists will furnish you with a comprehensive printed treatment plan that outlines all the expenses associated with the treatment, ensuring that you have complete knowledge of the costs involved.
Prompt Treatment
In case of dental emergencies, getting prompt treatment can greatly enhance the look of your smile. Emergency dentists can use bonding or veneers to fix broken or chipped teeth, making them look and function like before. Bonding requires the application of a tooth-coloured resin on the affected area, which is then shaped and polished to blend in with your other teeth. Veneers are thin custom-made shells that are put on the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. Either of these options can provide you with a uniform, natural-looking smile.
Apart from fixing damages, emergency dental procedures can also tackle problems that impact your overall oral health, such as the accumulation of tartar and plaque. Scaling and root planing or deep cleaning can eliminate this build-up, decreasing the possibility of gum disease and enhancing the look of your teeth. If you want to straighten misaligned teeth or improve your bite’s alignment, emergency dentists can begin orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign. By dealing with both functional and cosmetic concerns, emergency dental treatments can help you achieve a gorgeous, healthy smile that you can flaunt with pride.
Emergency Dental Treaments
- Toothache: Floss your teeth and rinse your mouth with warm water to remove debris. Apply something cold to your cheek to help swelling. Don’t use painkiller gels near the sore tooth as they can burn the gums and cause further pain. Visit your dentist ASAP.
- Chipped / Broken Teeth: Save any remaining pieces of teeth and rinse thoroughly. Rinse your mouth with warm water and, if necessary, apply gauze to the injured site to stop bleeding. A cold compress applied to your cheek can help swelling and soothe pain. Book an emergency dentist appointment.
- Knocked-out teeth: Hold onto the crown (the bottom part of the tooth) and remove the dirt very carefully from the tooth root if there is any. Don’t scrub away any remaining tissue fragments. If possible, very gently place the tooth back in the socket and contact your dentist. If that proves too difficult, keep it bathed inside your cheek, with your saliva. In children, keep it in some milk.
- Partially dislodged (extruded) tooth: Apply a cold compress to your cheek to ease the pain. Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary. See your dentist ASAP.
- Lost filling: As a temporary solution, use dental temporary filling material from a chemist or sugar-free chewing gum to bridge the cavity. Your dentist will replace your filling during your emergency appointment.
- Lost crown: Book an emergency dentist appointment and bring the crown with you. If possible, apply dental cement/denture adhesive or toothpaste to the inner surface of the crown beforehand and try to place it back over the tooth.
- Trapped object between teeth: Attempt to gently remove the object with dental floss. If the object cannot be taken out, contact your dentist right away.
- Broken braces or wires: Rinse your mouth with salt water to keep your mouth clean and ease the pain. You may be able to push the wire back into place using a soft pencil eraser. Call your dentist if the wire won’t move back into place or is broken.
- Loose brackets and bands: Loose braces can be temporarily reattached with orthodontic wax before your dentist fixes them. If a band becomes loose, save it and call your dentist to have it reattached.
- Abscesses: Abscesses are serious infections that form under teeth and spread if left untreated. Book an emergency appointment with your dentist right away if you notice any painful swelling in your mouth. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with salt water to relieve pain and draw pus to the surface.
- Soft tissue injuries: Injuries to the cheeks, gums, tongue and lips often bleed and require immediate dental treatment. In the meantime, ease the pain by rinsing your mouth with salt water. To control the bleeding, apply pressure to the site with gauze for 15-20 minutes. You can also hold a hot compress to your cheek for 5-10 minutes.
