Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Haymarket - Sydney CBD Clinic

Tooth pain may develop suddenly or worsen over time, often interfering with sleep, meals, and daily activities. Common causes include decay, infection, or cracked teeth. We examine the area thoroughly, take X-rays if required, and recommend treatment such as fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction.

A crown that has become loose or fractured can expose the underlying tooth and cause sensitivity. In some cases, the crown can be cleaned and re-cemented, while in others a replacement is needed. Temporary protection may be provided until a long-term solution is arranged.

When a permanent tooth is knocked out, quick action is essential. Handle the tooth by the crown only, rinse it briefly if dirty, and keep it in milk or saliva until you arrive at the clinic. Replantation is often possible if the tooth is treated within an hour.

Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums can indicate infection, which may progress if left untreated. Treatment may include a professional clean, antibiotics if required, and advice on home care. Early attention prevents gum disease from becoming more severe.

Injuries to baby teeth can be distressing for both children and parents. Depending on the severity, treatment may range from monitoring the tooth to gentle adjustments or removal. A dentist will also check whether the developing adult tooth has been affected. Our Haymarket clinic sets aside daily emergency appointments so patients can be seen quickly and effectively.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?

Severe toothache

Avoid chewing on the painful side and rinse gently with warm salty water. Take over-the-counter medication if suitable and safe. Note when the pain occurs, such as with hot or cold foods, and share this with your dentist. Book an urgent appointment as toothaches rarely resolve on their own.

Broken crown

Keep the crown safe and bring it with you to your appointment. Avoid sticky or hard foods on the affected tooth. Do not attempt to glue the crown yourself. Temporary protection may be provided until a replacement crown is arranged if needed.

Knocked-out tooth

Handle the tooth by the crown, never the root. If possible, reinsert it gently into the socket. Otherwise, store it in milk or saliva and bring it to the dentist immediately. Time is critical, and quick action gives the best chance of saving the tooth.

Gum infection

Rinse your mouth with warm salty water to reduce bacteria. Avoid irritants such as smoking or alcohol. Over-the-counter medication may help control discomfort, but gum infections require professional care. Book a dental appointment promptly to prevent further problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

In most cases, yes. We reserve time for urgent appointments every day. If our schedule is completely full, we will still do our best to provide temporary pain relief and arrange the earliest available treatment.

Yes, sometimes trauma to a baby tooth can impact the developing adult tooth beneath it. This may cause changes in colour, shape, or eruption. A dentist will examine the injury carefully and may recommend X-rays to check for any long-term effects.

Dental infections can sometimes spread through the jaw and gums, making it hard to identify which tooth is responsible. A thorough dental exam, often with X-rays, is needed to find the true cause. Prompt treatment can prevent the problem from worsening.

Even painless gum swelling may indicate gum disease or infection. It’s important to have it checked early, as treatment is simpler in the early stages. Booking a dental appointment promptly allows your dentist to confirm the cause and provide appropriate care.

Most patients feel better within a few days, but complete healing of the gums and bone can take six to eight weeks. Recovery time depends on the difficulty of the extraction and your overall health. Your dentist will review your healing and provide specific aftercare advice.
