Emergency Dental Treaments
How to Handle an Emergency Dental Condition until Your Appointment
Toothache: Accumulated food debris leads to increased bacterial activity, which can further damage and cause pain to your tooth. Do not hesitate to clean the affected area. Brushing and flossing your teeth will help remove food particles and bacterial buildup, potentially alleviating pain until you visit our experts. If needed, consider using pain relievers.
Knocked-out teeth: Handling a knocked-out tooth
significantly impacts the success rate for its replantation. It is crucial to visit our emergency dentist ASAP. Meanwhile, never touch the tooth root; instead, handle the tooth by crown. Do not scrub the tooth to remove dirt, and try to reinsert the tooth back into its sockets. If you fail to return the tooth, store it in saliva or milk. The success rate of tooth replantation depends on the tooth handling and the speed at which it is reinserted.
Lost crown: Book an emergency dentist appointment and bring the crown. If possible, apply denture cement/adhesive to the inner surface of the crown and attempt to place it back over the tooth.
Lost filling: when you lose a filling, you may experience severe pain due to exposed dentinal tubules. It is important to book an emergency appointment as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can use temporary filling material or sugar-free gum to cover the hole in the tooth.
Broken Denture: A broken denture can significantly disrupt your daily activities. Do not attempt to use regular glue to reassemble the broken parts, as this may damage the margins of the dentures and complicate future repairs. Schedule an emergency appointment as soon as possible.
Abscesses: Abscesses are serious infections that develop beneath the tooth and may cause serious problems if left untreated. Book an emergency appointment with your dentist immediately if you notice any painful swelling in your mouth. Rinse your mouth with normal saline to alleviate pain and help draw pus to the surface.

It is essential to book an emergency dentist appointment as soon as you can. Depending on your emergency, some home remedies can help until your professional visit, such as brushing and using warm saline mouthwash to relieve pain.
Several conditions are considered dental emergencies and require prompt scheduling of an emergency dental visit such as severe pain, swelling, jaw fracture, denture fracture, or a knocked-out tooth.
An emergency dental visit mainly aims to stabilise the condition, relieve pain if any, and prevent further damage. The emergency dental visit may provide a complete solution to your condition, such as cementing a lost crown or repairing a fractured denture. However, sometimes it involves only symptomatic treatment until your referral to one of our specialists, such as in the case of caries extending to the pulp and causing severe pain, the pulp is removed in the emergency dental visit, then the root canal treatment procedure is completed with an endodontist during a regular appointment.
Even asymptomatic tooth damage needs careful assessment and treatment to prevent more damage.
If you have a broken fragment, store it until your emergency dental visit as some fractured fragments can be rebounded to the tooth. If not, our dental experts will thoroughly examine the remaining tooth structure and the extent of the fracture to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
A swelling indicates an active infection and pus accumulation in the soft tissues. Contact us immediately to book an emergency dental appointment, avoid applying a hot compress on the swelling area as it may cause a fast spread of the infection.
Book an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible to identify the cause of the pain and prevent more complications. Until your emergency visit follow these tips to reduce the pain: brush and floss your teeth to remove bacterial colonisation and food debris, rinse your mouth with warm saline, and use painkillers if necessary.
Yes, a knocked-out tooth can be returned to its place. The success rate for teeth replantation depends on the careful handling of the tooth and the time elapsed until replantation. The tooth must be replanted within 60 minutes.
