Dental emergencies may happen regardless of the situation you are in. Any dental problem that needs immediate treatment to stop bleeding, alleviate severe pain, or save a tooth is considered an emergency. Therefore, you must have an idea on how to perform first aid.

The first few minutes of an emergency situation is very crucial. Your quick response will greatly affect the impact of the dental emergency of your oral health. If you are uncertain whether your case is urgent, we highly recommend to seek your dentist to avoid further complications.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Melbourne
Impacted Wisdom Tooth Melbourne
Wisdom teeth are the third and final set of molars that most people get in between ages 17 – 25, at an age when the person is presumably “wiser”. These teeth are a valuable asset to the mouth when they are healthy and properly aligned but not everyone gets them, and that’s normal. Dental problems arise when the wisdom tooth is impacted.
Gum Disease Treatment Melbourne
Periodontitis, also known as gum disease is a serious gum infection that can destroy the bone that supports your teeth if not properly treated. If you are experiencing sensitivity, pain and bleeding gums that swell up and eventually produce foul odour, you might be experiencing a gum disease.
This usually happens when plaque and tartar build up around your teeth specifically where the teeth and gum meet. Gingivitis is the first stage of gum disease. This can be easily treated when detected in early stages.

Cracked and chipped teeth Treatment Melbourne
Cracked and chipped teeth Treatment Melbourne
At Healthy Smiles, we are regularly asked, “What should I do if I chip my tooth?” These events are very common and may happen due to various reasons. That might just be a simple pain but it’s extremely important to get it looked at. Do not suffer for a very treatable tooth issue. If you live in Melbourne, see our caring dentist as soon as possible to avoid further damage that will lead to infection and possibly causing you to end up losing the tooth.
ToothAche Melbourne
Toothache is a first sign that there’s something wrong with your tooth or gums that could lead to a much bigger potential problem that will cause pain and discomfort. Pain relievers will not resolve the dental issue but it simply hides the pain.
Toothache may be caused by a number of dental problems such as a recent crack and chip, gum disease and tooth decay. Recent orthodontic treatments, impacted wisdom teeth, worn teeth and loose fillings could be a possible reason too.

Those shiny, white enamel that covers your teeth is even stronger than bone. But they can still suffer damages. Our teeth also experience a natural life cycle wherein it undergoes the aging process. However, lifestyle choices are also a factor that will contribute to early onset of damage.
Tooth Decay and Plaque Treatment Melbourne
Poor oral health care can result in poor overall health. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that 2.3 billion people globally suffer from caries of permanent teeth. Tooth decay is the gradual decay of the tooth due to dental caries and is considered as one of the leading causes of tooth loss among adults. Bacteria form a film over the teeth forming dental plaque. The bacteria in plaque convert the sugar from food to acid which in turn attacks and wears the tooth enamel away.
Dental Anxiety Treatment Melbourne

Dental Check-Up and Clean Melbourne
Ready to get the smile you deserve? Achieving healthy pearly whites takes a lifetime of care. It does not end with just brushing and flossing. It goes hand in hand with proper dental care and seeking professional help from your dentists at healthy smiles in Melbourne. Prevention is really better than cure. Thus, our team provides great emphasis at our Preventive Dentistry Services.
Dental Fillings Melbourne
Fillings are a simple way of fixing teeth with small-to-medium sized cavities that will protect your teeth from serious complications. Dental fillings are very useful in dentistry with many different implications such as to restore tooth cavities, repair broken teeth, and even perform certain cosmetic procedures like closing small gaps. There are different types of materials available for dental filling. At Healthy Smiles in Melbourne, our clients are our top priority. Thus, we avoid using mercury fillings due to their negative effect on your health and the environment. Your dentist will tell you what option is best and fit for you- resin or gold to fill your teeth.
IV Sedation Melbourne
IV Sedation Melbourne
Going to the dentist is a generalized fear. This is considered as a real source of anxiety for most. If you have an intense fear of the dentist and the dental procedures, you have nothing to worry about. Fortunately, IV Sedation Dentistry is available at Healthy Smiles in Melbourne. It has several options to help patients feel at ease and comfortable when they undergo a dental procedure. The advanced technology in dentistry, through sedation, helps patients overcome this with the help of a medical doctor trained in intravenous sedation.
Root Canal Treatment Melbourne
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, intricate, complex work, dealing with very fine nerve canals in one or more of your teeth. This is a common procedure in modern dentistry that is used to remove inflamed or infected tissue from inside a tooth. Generally, people opt to choose root canal treatment due to the high success rate of 90-95%. The tooth will last for a long time with proper care and good oral hygiene.
Professional Deep Cleaning Melbourne
Professional Deep Cleaning Melbourne
Despite having your everyday oral hygiene and frequent dental visits, you might still need a regular or a deep cleaning. A standard cleaning of the teeth is a minor and very common procedure that should be performed twice a year while a deep clean is recommended for those who have missed a couple of those periodic appointments and therefore have developed gum disease. A comfortable instrument will be used by your dentist or dental hygienist to clean your teeth and remove all the tartar in the hard to reach places. Even with regular brushing, tartar (a plaque that builds up around your teeth) may still form that causes bacterial infections and bleeding gums when left untreated.
Happy Gas
If you are suffering from dental anxiety, you have nothing to worry about. Sedation dentistry, or sleep dentistry could be the solution. If you get nervous at the thought of visiting your dentist like a lot of other people do, one solution is Nitrous oxide (N20), or more commonly called happy gas or laughing gas. This gas is colourless and odourless and is safe for both adults and children. This will relieve anxiety during dental procedures and relaxes your body and mind.
Healthy Smiles promotes positive dental health and offers sleep dentistry in Melbourne, to allow every one of our patients to achieve healthy and brilliant smiles for life, without the stress and anxiety that often comes with a visit to the dentist.
