ypes of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Burwood Clinic

  • Gum infections often cause swelling, bleeding, and tenderness. If left untreated, they may lead to abscesses or tooth mobility. A dentist will check for signs of gum disease and may recommend a professional clean, antibiotics if necessary, and ongoing periodontal care. Early treatment helps prevent long-term damage.

  • Impacted or erupting wisdom teeth often cause gum inflammation and jaw discomfort. This can make eating and opening the mouth difficult. We examine the area with X-rays to check the position of the tooth and recommend treatment, which may include cleaning, antibiotics, or extraction if the tooth cannot erupt properly.

  • Fractures may range from small chips to severe cracks exposing the nerve. Minor breaks can often be repaired with bonding or fillings, while larger fractures may require crowns. If the nerve is involved, root canal therapy may be recommended. Prompt attention reduces the risk of infection and restores function.

  • If a permanent tooth is completely knocked out, it is important to act quickly. The tooth should be kept moist in milk or saliva and brought to the dentist immediately. Replantation is most successful when performed within an hour. Our team will assess the socket, reinsert the tooth if possible, and stabilise it with a splint.

  • Crowns can occasionally fracture due to wear, accidents, or biting on hard objects. A cracked crown cannot usually be repaired and will often need replacement. In the meantime, temporary solutions can protect the tooth and relieve sensitivity. Your dentist will discuss the best long-term restorative option. At our Burwood clinic, we make every effort to provide same-day appointments for emergencies, ensuring patients receive timely and effective care.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?

Gum infection


Avoid biting hard foods and keep the area clean by rinsing gently. Bring the broken fragment if you have it. Avoid very hot or cold drinks that may cause sensitivity. Arrange an urgent dental visit to prevent further damage.

 

Wisdom tooth pain or swelling


Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the sore side. Apply a cold compress externally to ease discomfort. Take pain relievers if suitable. Book a dental appointment quickly to prevent the problem from worsening.

Knocked-out tooth


Handle the tooth carefully by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or saline but do not scrub. Place the tooth back in the socket if possible, or store in milk until you reach us. Attend immediately, as success depends on how quickly treatment is provided.


Lost filling


Avoid eating sticky or hard foods on the affected side. Keep the tooth clean by rinsing after meals. Some pharmacies sell temporary filling kits that may offer short-term protection. Arrange an urgent dental visit to restore the tooth properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Bleeding gums are most often caused by plaque build-up and gum inflammation, but other factors may contribute. A professional clean is usually the first step to restore gum health, alongside daily brushing and flossing.   A dentist should assess your gums to check for early signs of gum disease.

  • Most patients recover within a few days, although full healing of the gum and bone may take six to eight weeks. Recovery time depends on the complexity of the extraction and your overall health.   A review with your dentist ensures the area is healing properly.

  • If the crown and underlying tooth are intact, it may be possible to clean and re-cement it. If the crown no longer fits or the tooth has fractured, a new restoration will likely be required.   Only a dentist can confirm the safest approach after examining the tooth.

  • Sometimes, trauma to a baby tooth can affect the developing adult tooth underneath, leading to changes in colour or shape. A dentist may take X-rays to check the adult tooth and recommend follow-up care to prevent long-term issues.

  • Night-time pain is often a sign of an inflamed or infected nerve. Over-the-counter medication may provide short-term relief, but you should arrange a dental appointment promptly.   A dentist will confirm whether root canal therapy, extraction, or another treatment is required to resolve the cause.
