Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Epping Clinic
- Toothaches can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that interferes with sleep or eating. Common causes include decay, cracks, or infection. We take a full history, use X-rays where required, and provide treatment such as fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction depending on the findings.
- When a crown becomes loose or falls out, the tooth underneath is left exposed and often sensitive. If the crown is intact, it may be cleaned and re-cemented. If damaged, a replacement will be needed. In the meantime, temporary measures may be used to protect the tooth.
- Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth often cause gum inflammation and jaw pain. These cases can also lead to infection if untreated. We assess with X-rays to determine whether cleaning, antibiotics, or extraction is the best course of action.
- If a permanent tooth is completely knocked out, quick action is crucial. Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and bring it with you to the appointment. Replantation is often possible if the tooth is treated within one hour.
- Persistent gum bleeding may be a sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease. It can also indicate trauma or irritation. Our team will check the gums carefully, perform a professional clean, and provide advice for long-term gum care. At our Epping clinic, we keep urgent appointments available each day to ensure emergencies are handled without unnecessary delays.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?
Toothache
Avoid chewing on the sore side and stick to soft foods. Rinse gently with warm salty water. Pain relievers may help temporarily, but the underlying cause needs to be treated by a dentist. Book an urgent appointment to prevent the pain from worsening.
Lost crown
Keep the crown safe and bring it with you. Avoid sticky or hard foods on the affected tooth. Rinse the area to remove food debris. Do not attempt to glue the crown yourself. Only a dentist can assess whether it can be re-cemented or requires replacement.
Wisdom tooth swelling
Apply a cold compress to the outside of the cheek to help with swelling. Eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the sore side. Take over-the-counter medication if appropriate. Prompt dental review is essential to prevent infection and further complications.
Bleeding gums
Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and rinse with warm salty water. Avoid harsh brushing or flossing that may aggravate the gums. Persistent bleeding needs professional assessment, as it can signal gum disease. Book a dental visit for diagnosis and treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Sharp pain often indicates a cavity or crack, while a dull, throbbing ache may suggest infection or gum involvement. Both types of pain require assessment to identify the exact cause. A dentist will carry out an exam and possibly X-rays to confirm the diagnosis and recommend treatment.
- Hospitals are usually not equipped to perform dental treatment. They may provide antibiotics or pain relief if swelling is severe, but a dentist must resolve the underlying cause. If swelling affects breathing or vision, go to the emergency department immediately and then see a dentist.
- Swelling is often linked to infection spreading from a tooth or gums. This can become serious if it spreads to areas like the eyes or neck. A dentist will assess the source and provide urgent treatment, which may include antibiotics and dental procedures.
- Most patients feel comfortable again within a few days, although full healing of the gum and bone can take six to eight weeks. Recovery time depends on the type of extraction and your overall health. Your dentist will provide tailored aftercare instructions and check your progress.
- Antibiotics may reduce swelling or fever temporarily, but they do not eliminate the cause of infection. A tooth with an abscess usually needs treatment such as a filling, root canal therapy, or extraction. Your dentist will confirm the best option after examination.
