What To Do When You Encounter Dental Emergencies?
When faced with a dental emergency, it’s essential to know the immediate steps to take before seeking professional help. Here are some common dental emergencies and tips on what you can do until you can reach our emergency dentist service in Perth, WA.
Toothache
First, start by rinsing your mouth with warm water and gently flossing the area to remove any debris. If the toothache persists, it’s important to contact our emergency dentist in Perth immediately for prompt evaluation and treatment.
Knocked-out tooth
If a tooth is knocked out, time is of the essence. Stay calm and find the actual tooth, handling it by the crown (top) without removing any tissue fragments. Rinse it quickly in milk or saliva to remove dirt or debris, and try to gently hold it in place in the socket. If unable to reposition the tooth, keep it moist by immersing it in milk or saliva (not water), sealing it in plastic wrap, or placing it next to the cheek. Contact our emergency dentist immediately for an emergency appointment.
Gum abscess and swelling
In case of gum abscess or swelling, it is crucial to contact our after-hours emergency dentist without delay. We can provide pain relief and prescribe antibiotics to settle the infection. Once the area has been assessed, we will devise a comprehensive treatment plan to address the underlying issue.
Broken Tooth
Any obvious damage to a tooth should be treated promptly to prevent further complications. Chips or fractures can affect the living tissue inside the tooth, leading to future problems. Our emergency dentists in Perth have the expertise to assess the damage and provide appropriate treatment to prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s integrity.
Wisdom tooth pain
To alleviate wisdom tooth pain temporarily, apply an ice pack to the outside of the face for 20 minutes to reduce swelling. Additionally, rinsing the mouth with warm salty water every 2 to 3 hours can provide relief.

Remember, when facing a dental emergency, time is of the essence. Contact Spring Orchid Dental immediately for prompt assistance and let our experienced team provide the necessary care and guidance to address your dental emergency effectively.
