Got Dental Emergency?

Stay Calm, We got you covered

Emergency dentist Blackburn

Toothaches are never a pleasant experience. Broken, chipped, knocked-out teeth expose the living tissue, which tends to get sensitive and eventually becomes infected. You must consider some first aid such as rinsing your mouth with mildly warm water till you reach out to our Blackburn dentists in Melbourne at Healthy Smiles.

Emergencies are unexpected and when these are related to oral problems, then quick treatment can help restrict the severity of the issue.

Unfortunately, none of us is aware of the time, place, or with whom a dental emergency may happen. This is why Healthy Smiles always has a team of emergency dentists who see the patients arriving at our clinic with dental conditions requiring immediate care and help for their oral condition.

What are some dental emergency cases we handle in Blackburn, Melbourne?

Toothache

Broken Dental Equipment

Toothache

Toothaches are a sign of an underlying issue, and some of the probable causes are fractured teeth, cavity, infection, or a damaged nerve.
If you are experiencing discomfort while chewing food or the pain is constant even after you have finished chewing, it is a dental emergency. Timely treatment can help in the prevention of severe dental issues that may be caused in future.

Broken Dental Equipment (braces, dentures, crown, bridges, etc.).

Dental equipment is durable as they are made from high-quality materials. But they may break from improper care or mishandling. You must not try and fix it yourself. This usually makes things worse. Instead, you must get in touch with our caring emergency dentist in Melbourne.

Broken or cracked tooth treatment

Broken or cracked teeth are common, but their treatment should not be ignored or delayed. The teeth are usually vulnerable to bacteria, which cause infection and soon spread to the gums. Our dentists advise that you collect any pieces of the broken tooth, and if possible, the dentist might be able to repair it. However, this entirely depends on the severity of the damage incurred. You must avoid extremely hot or cold foods till you reach an emergency dentist as extreme temperatures can cause pain and discomfort.

Dental abscess treatment Blackburn

A dental abscess is usually referred to as the infection that is formed around the root or at times between the teeth and gums. An abscess is red and painful, and most patients will suffer from fever. The pain tends to worsen while eating. The infection of the abscess spreads quickly causing unbearable pain and tooth decay too. It is vital that you address the infection immediately by visiting one of our emergency dentists at Healthy Smiles in Melbourne.

Knocked out tooth treatment Blackburn

This type of dental issue is common in children who still have their milk teeth. The milk teeth tend to keep the teeth aligned adequately for the permanent teeth to replace them. When they are knocked-out before their actual falling times, there are chances of the permanent teeth to have alignment and spacing issues.

Sports injuries treatment Blackburn

Mouthguards, if appropriately fitted, prevent dental injuries and do not impact ventilation or speech. However, there are times when athletes indulging may incur dental damages like tooth intrusion, avulsion, and extrusion. Other injuries may include crown fractures and sometimes temporomandibular dislocation. You must get in touch with our dentist immediately to treat sports injuries.

Children’s dental emergencies

Children are playful and indulge in a lot of physical activities, both indoors and outdoors. Their young minds do not differentiate well between things that are safe to do from those that are harmful. Their eating habits may also harm their oral health. Our dentists are gentle and compassionate, especially when it comes to treating children. They look forward to helping the little ones with any oral health issues.

Use warm and cold compresses to relieve gum pain.

These solutions are temporary, and for proper examination and treatment of your dental issues, you must book an appointment at Healthy Smiles Melbourne.

A toothache is usually tolerable in the beginning but soon becomes unbearable. Thus, it is advisable that you get in touch with a dentist to avoid painful conditions. At Healthy Smiles, we have an exceptional team of emergency dentists who will advise you about the best treatments available for your situation. People with dental problems related to infection require immediate treatment, but those with broken dentures or chipped teeth may not require immediate treatment. They may be advised to take painkillers and then come back later the next day when their pain is better or subsided.
