Emergency Dental Treatments

Each of the below-described conditions may potentially result in a dental emergency, which is encouraged for immediate treatment to restore oral health and comfort. Leaving emergency dental conditions untreated may raise the risk of oral infection and dental trauma, which in the long run can be detrimental to health and become costlier the longer it is left untreated.

Typical emergency problems requiring immediate dental treatment include:

/

Dental trauma

Dental trauma can be a result of an accident, sports injury, or assault and can result in chipped or broken tooth/teeth, lost, dislodged, or extruded tooth. An emergency dentist appointment is needed in any of those cases. Our 24-hour dentist can use various techniques to help treat pain, infections, and discomfort.

Kids dental trauma

An immediate reaction is needed if your kid suffers from dental trauma. The emergency dentist appointment will help determine the best course of action to address the dental issue your child is experiencing. Treating children’s teeth problems promptly ensures the kid’s proper oral health and jaw development.

Cracked or broken tooth

Teeth can crack or break due to trauma or excessive wear. If you leave a damaged tooth untreated, you risk inflammation of the roots and gums around the tooth, which can further result in tooth loss. A cracked or broken tooth can easily be fixed by bonding or composite veneers if the damage is more prominent.

Knocked-out tooth

Dental avulsion occurs when a tooth is knocked out. In a situation like this, it is best to try and find the knocked-out tooth and keep it for dental re-insertion as soon as possible. If an avulsed tooth cannot be saved, an artificial tooth replacement, such as a crown or bridge, may be used to restore dental structure and function.

/

Partial tooth dislodgement

Usually a result of a trauma/injury, tooth dislodgement can occur either when the tooth is pushed inside the gum or when it becomes loose and changes its direction, pointing either inward or outward. When this happens, urgent dental treatment is required to prevent any damage to the nerves inside the bone and help save the tooth.

Toothache

Toothache or dental pain is commonly caused by gum infection brought on by oral diseases, such as Periodontitis, Caries and Cancer. Our emergency dental care includes treatment of oral disease symptoms and referral for screening to identify the cause of dental pain. Gum bleeding and swelling, mouth abscesses and loose teeth are all signs of gum disease.

Wisdom tooth pain

Wisdom tooth pain is a common reason young people seek emergency dental care. Our oral surgeons assess the wisdom tooth condition and can provide wisdom tooth extraction to improve oral health. Patients are administered local anaesthetic prior to pain-free treatment and have the option of sedation treatment to feel entirely relaxed during urgent care.

Pulpitis (reversible)

Reversible pulpitis is another dental condition that may cause toothache, tooth pain and sensitivity. The tooth’s enamel becomes worn or damaged by bacteria, exposing inner dentin and pulp that contain nerves and blood vessels. To prevent pain and infection, emergency dentists may use white fillings, inlays and onlays as part of the treatment. Receiving proper care for reversible pulpitis protects the tooth so the condition does not worsen.

/

Pulpitis (irreversible)

Irreversible pulpitis occurs after the reversible pulpitis stage when bacteria colonise the tooth pulp, causing nerve damage. Individuals often experience severe dental pain after periods of untreated milder toothache, triggering the need for an emergency dental care. Painkillers do not alleviate or eliminate the pain caused by irreversible pulpitis.

/

Dental abscess

A dental abscess can appear due to untreated tooth decay, although it can occasionally be the result of dental trauma. The symptoms can include swelling of the face on the side of the infected tooth, high fever, and even nausea. An emergency dentist appointment will help initiate the proper treatment and prevent further damage to the teeth and gums.

Tooth extraction

If the need arises to remove teeth and tooth roots, patients have various options to replace the missing tooth, such as crowns, bridges or partial dentures. However, people tend to opt for dental implants that fuse with the existing bone structure, serving as artificial solid tooth roots on which restorations are secured. Where jaw bone structure is weak, it may be strengthened through bone grafting to allow the insertion of dental implants.

/

Root canal

Emergency dentists provide root canal treatment to remove infection and bacteria to save the tooth. However, tooth preservation does depend on the extent of the damage. There is the possibility of re-infection after root canal treatment has been completed. In this event, emergency dental care is provided to alleviate the pain and remove infection by repeating root canal treatment. The option of root canal treatment may not be suitable for all.

Dental cyst

Dental cysts cause severe pain when they surround the tooth. Some individuals experience recurring cysts and may opt for tooth extraction. Although dentists strive to save existing teeth, patients may prefer to remove the tooth to prevent further pain.

/

Tooth cusp damage

Front incisor teeth may become fractured during biting down on hard foods, while posterior molar teeth may fracture from intensive chewing. When the tooth’s cusp breaks or cracks, emergency dentists use an overlay, crown or cap made of ceramic, metal, gold or zirconium to restore the tooth and allow healthy eating. Patients are offered options in treatments for emergency dental care.

/

Broken/lost fillings

Just as existing teeth may become damaged, so may teeth restorations. These include crowns, fillings, veneers, bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Our clinic provides emergency and non-emergency dental restoration, repair or replacement so that patients may enjoy a healthy oral function without delay.

Broken/lost crowns or caps

A broken or lost crown or cap can cause a high level of discomfort. At the Baker Street Dental Group, we’re happy to provide our patients with same-day crowns and cap opportunities, utilising the power of CEREC 3D printing technology.

Emergency dentistry is a 24-hour service provided to treat patients in need of urgent dental care. We have experienced emergency dentists on hand to reduce pain, prevent infection and restore dental health. Accessing emergency dental care for oral trauma is essential to preserve the existing dental structure and prevent the onset of infection and health complications.

Accessing Emergency Dental Care

Individuals and families who are patients or not yet may access the 24-hour emergency dental service by phoning our clinic for an emergency appointment. Doing so as soon as an emergency occurs will mean individuals receive urgent care before their condition worsens.

When a person attends an emergency dental appointment, a written urgent care plan outlining what treatment is needed to restore the oral health, including benefits, risks and costs is provided. Patients are required to consent to treatment before emergency care is given.

Emergency treatment may be preventative, and further appointments might be required. This depends on the severity of the oral health condition. All diagnostic tests, including X-rays and CT scans, are retained i the patient’s record for their future care.

The natural inclination is to panic or stress when an emergency occurs. By being prepared, the dental emergency can be handled better and with peace of mind.

Toothache

Aim of Emergency Dental Care

Modern emergency dental care is now far more comprehensive, treating not only the source of oral pain and discomfort but correcting dental function as well. For example, patients suffering from sudden dental or oral pain may access emergency dental care. The cause of the pain may be an infection in dental structures identified through emergency diagnostic tests.

Part of their emergency dental treatment may include root canal treatment to eradicate the infection and pain. Further appointments may then be made for a later stage to provide tooth restorations or dental implants where preferred.

All dentists, including emergency dentists, aim to preserve existing tooth structure, reduce the need for dental extraction, treat oral discomfort and restore oral health as soon as possible. To this end, emergency dental care includes a range of dental treatment choices.

Damaged Orthodontic Devices

Orthodontic devices can break and require repair. At our clinic, we provide emergency denture repair and adjustment, braces repair and adjustment, and re-bonding of dental restorations that fracture or become loose.

Receiving emergency dental care for broken orthodontic devices is essential for continued treatment and restoration of the brace device. Trying to self-repair or wear a damaged orthodontic appliance may lead to oral injury and infection. Professional orthodontic device repair is available through our emergency dental services.

We aim to maintain, restore and replace any parts of brace systems that become damaged, whether this is a wire, metal, ceramic or plastic appliance. Braces treatments available to patients include Invisalign, Clearstep, Inman Aligner, Damon, and Lingual braces.

Importance of Early Emergency Dental Care

Emergency dental care prevents medical crises and enables individuals to enjoy restored oral health, eating, and communication without pain, discomfort or trauma. Vulnerable people, such as children, those with disabilities and older individuals, are at risk of health complications if dental emergencies are not cared for. Our emergency dental care is accessible 24 hours a day so that those in need of urgent dental care may receive timely treatment.
