FAQ's about emergency dentistry
We have seen many teeth being knocked out in an accident and especially while playing sports.
As always, prevention is better than cure. We recommend having a mouthguard fitted and used during high-contact activities. Using a mouthguard protects teeth from falling out in the event of an accident, or at least will limit the damage caused.
If your tooth has been knocked out and you are able to find the tooth, it is best to hold it by the top(crown) not the root and place it back into the socket and seek urgent dental care to secure it in place. If you are unsure what to do, it is best to place it in milk or saline solution and bring it to a dentist near you. If you do not have milk or saline solution available, the next best option is your own saliva.
If your tooth has fallen out, or you would like to speak to one of our friendly dentists about fabricating a mouthguard, our team at Ultra Smiles Dental in Dulwich Hill can be contacted on (02) 9145 0149. If it is an emergency, we will do our best to prioritise you and book you into one of our reserved emergency appointments on the same day.
If the chip is large enough and you are able to locate the fragment(s) of the tooth, we recommend storing the fragments it in milk,saline solution or salivaand bring it to a dentist near you.
More often than not, you may not be able to find the fragments of your chipped tooth. Don’t worry! Our team at Ultra Smiles Dental Dulwich hill can assess your tooth and present a range of options to you to restore it to look and feel like your natural tooth. Contact our team at Ultra Smiles Dental in Dulwich Hill to book an appointment where we will evaluate the severity of the chip and repair it for you.
