Emergency Dental Treatment at Newcomb Dental
At Newcomb Dental, we treat emergency patients daily with our highly skilled emergency dentists, ensuring we know exactly how to help you when you’re in pain. Toothaches and dental pain can range from mild discomfort to excruciating, throbbing pain that isn’t alleviated by painkillers. It’s crucial to contact us as soon as possible to prevent your situation from worsening.
Managing Toothache Before Your Appointment
If you’re experiencing a toothache, follow these steps before seeing an emergency dentist at Newcomb Dental:
Contact Us Immediately
- Call our emergency dentist at Newcomb Dental on (03) 5242 8740 to book an appointment as soon as possible.
Pain Management
- Maintain your pain threshold by taking painkillers regularly before your appointment. Take 2 Nurofen tablets (ibuprofen), wait 2 hours, then take 2 Panadol tablets (paracetamol). Repeat every 2 hours, ensuring you don’t exceed the maximum dosages as indicated on the packaging.
Common Reasons for Emergency Dental Treatment
Chipped or Broken Tooth
- This can be both embarrassing and painful. Immediate attention is necessary to alleviate discomfort and prevent further damage.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
- Painful wisdom teeth often cannot be removed immediately due to severe infection. Treatment usually involves antibiotics, painkillers, and good oral hygiene before removal. A dentist consultation is essential to develop a treatment plan.
Severe Infection and Swelling
- Infections can cause significant pain and swelling of the gums or jaw. This occurs when the nerves inside the tooth or surrounding gums become infected. Interim pain relief includes taking painkillers until you can see us.
Loose or Fallen Out Tooth
- If a baby tooth falls out, do not place it back in the socket. Instead, visit a children’s hospital. For adult teeth, contact us immediately for advice on saving the tooth. Loose teeth can be a choking hazard and often need to be removed.
Ulcers or Cold Sores
- Lesions, ulcers, or sores lasting more than two weeks require prompt attention from an emergency dentist to effectively treat your condition.
Remember, prompt attention to dental emergencies can prevent further complications and alleviate pain quickly. Contact Newcomb Dental for emergency dental treatment when you need it most.
