Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Artarmon Clinic

Below are some of the most common dental emergencies we treat at our Artarmon clinic:

Broken filling, tooth or crown

  • A damaged filling can often cause sharp edges or sensitivity and usually needs to be repaired or replaced.
  • A broken or cracked tooth may require a new filling or crown to restore strength and appearance.
  • Unfortunately, once a crown is fractured, it generally cannot be repaired and will need replacement.

 

Severe toothache or dental pain

  • We begin by taking a detailed history of your pain: when it started, what triggers it, and its severity.
  • A thorough examination may reveal tooth decay, cracks, swelling, or gum problems.
  • Digital X-rays are often required to identify the source of the pain.
  • Based on the diagnosis, treatment options may include root canal therapy, extraction, new fillings, crowns, or periodontal care.
  • Where needed, medications can be prescribed to manage infection or pain before final treatment is provided.

Accidents and dental trauma

  • Sporting injuries or accidents can cause teeth to chip, fracture, or be completely knocked out (avulsion).
  • If there are severe head or facial injuries, patients are referred to the emergency department first for medical assessment.
  • If a tooth is knocked out and stored in milk or saliva, replantation may be possible if seen promptly.
  • Larger fractured pieces of a tooth can sometimes be re-attached if preserved.

 

Pain or bleeding after dental surgery

  • It’s normal to experience some bleeding after an extraction, but if it continues for several hours, firm pressure with gauze for 15–20 minutes is advised.
  • Persistent bleeding may require stitches if not already placed. Patients should also avoid rinsing or spitting for the first 24 hours.
  • If severe pain develops 3–5 days after surgery, this may indicate an infection or dry socket, which needs urgent dental treatment.

 

At our Artarmon clinic, we prioritise urgent appointments for all dental emergencies to ensure patients get the care they need quickly. If you are experiencing any of these issues, please contact our team immediately for same-day emergency dental care.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often when you least expect them. While it’s important to see an emergency dentist in Artarmon as soon as possible, there are some steps you can take at home to help manage pain and protect your teeth until you reach our clinic.

 

Broken or Chipped Tooth?

  • Avoid chewing on the affected side until treatment.
  • Stay away from very hot or cold foods and drinks, as these can irritate the tooth further.
  • Keep your tongue away from sharp edges to prevent cuts or ulcers.
  • If possible, bring any broken pieces of the tooth with you to your appointment.

 

Toothache

  • Note when the pain occurs whether it is triggered by biting, hot drinks, or cold foods?
  • Avoid chewing on the painful side or doing anything that worsens the discomfort.
  • Over-the-counter pain relief can help manage symptoms until you see our dentist.

 

Pain or Bleeding After Extraction

  • Stick to soft foods and avoid hot, cold, or hard items.
  • Keep your head slightly elevated.
  • Bite firmly on fresh gauze for around 30 minutes to help control bleeding

 

Facial Swelling

  • Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the swollen area.
  • Never use heat, as it can worsen the swelling.
  • Take painkillers as directed.
  • If swelling spreads near the eye, jaw, or neck, seek urgent care at the emergency department immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. If you are in pain, our priority is to relieve your discomfort as quickly as possible. We can usually provide immediate relief with medication or a quick emergency procedure. In some cases, especially if all clinicians are fully booked, we may schedule the full treatment for another day once we’ve identified the underlying cause.

  • Absolutely. If you have chipped or broken a front tooth, we can provide an interim restoration to restore your smile the same day. This temporary solution will improve aesthetics and function until a longer-term treatment such as a crown, veneer, bridge, or durable filling can be arranged.

  • Dental treatment always comes with options. Our clinicians will clearly explain the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches so you can make an informed decision. We’ll recommend the most appropriate treatment for your situation, but you are free to choose the option that best fits your needs and timeframe.

  • If your discomfort is related to a recent treatment, our dentists will not leave you in pain and we will provide immediate care to relieve your symptoms. However, follow-up procedures such as replacing a filling or redoing previous work may involve additional steps. In these cases, we may need to consult with your original dentist to determine the best way forward.

  • Pain relief varies depending on the type of dental issue. Some symptoms resolve quickly, while others may take longer. In most cases, if you follow your dentist’s instructions, pain will gradually improve. We recommend attending your review appointment to ensure proper healing and to prevent future problems.
