Tooth Fallen Out?
If your tooth has been knocked out due to injury or accident in Moorooka, you must come to see us at the clinic right away. If you act fast, it is possible to reinsert the tooth. We have 45-60 minutes to get the tooth back into the gum after it’s been knocked out of the socket.
When you arrive at the clinic, a dentist will inspect your gums, clean the area, and attempt to reimplant your tooth into your gum.
Be sure to handle the tooth carefully. Only pick the tooth up by the crown—never by the root. If the tooth is very dirty, you can wash it with a gentle stream of water, saliva or milk. If possible, place the tooth back into the socket before coming into your appointment. You can do this by holding the tooth by the top (crown) and gently placing it back into the socket. Bite down onto a tissue until your appointment. If you cannot reinsert the tooth, store it in saliva or milk until your appointment.
Treatment for Dental Trauma near Moorooka
Our qualified staff near Moorooka are here to treat patients with traumatic injury to the soft tissue of the mouth and teeth. Dental trauma often occurs from an impact, fall or sports injury resulting in teeth that have cracked, broken, been lost or pushed back. It can also mean bleeding and cuts to the mouth and tongue.
If you have had a traumatic incident, don’t fret! See us at Dentists In Annerley to stop any possible further damage to the soft tissues and teeth.
To help with pain and swelling, we recommend using an ice pack on your way to the office. Alternate using the icepack for 20 minutes on and off the area. Call emergency services immediately for severe trauma with symptoms like dizziness, vomiting, nausea, head/body injuries, blurry vision, or fatigue.
What to do if You Have Broken or Cracked a Tooth
A broken or cracked tooth can cause acute pain in the mouth and jaw due to possible exposed nerve endings. Come to the clinic as soon as possible to avoid potential complications.
If you have broken a tooth, take the following steps:
– Eat on the other side of your mouth
– Keep the area clean by rinsing with saltwater
– Keep a cold compress on the area for 20 minutes at a time
– Retrieve any tooth fragments and bring them with you to the clinic
Our expert dentists are ready to administer the urgent dental care you need near Moorooka, seven days a week.
Facial Swelling
If you have substantial swelling in the face, eyes, or throat—including trouble breathing, please seek immediate medical attention or call 000.
