First things first

During a dental emergency, having basic knowledge of the right first aid that can be administered, can make all the difference. The following are quick, easy steps to get you through some of the most common dental emergencies, before you reach our emergency dentist in Castlemaine.

1. Knocked-out Tooth

A knocked-out tooth can be very painful; hence you have to be very efficient in dealing with this type of dental emergency. Make sure that your hands are clean, then follow these steps:

  • Locate the tooth and try to reposition it;
  • Bite on a clean piece of cloth to secure the tooth in place;
  • If the tooth is totally knocked out, hold the tooth by the crown, not the root;
  • Rinse tooth with clean water, and avoid scrubbing the tooth using soaps or detergents. Keep the tooth moist; and
  • Try to reinsert the avulsed tooth into the socket. If unsuccessful, store the tooth in a container of milk or with saliva. Do not store the tooth in tap water.
  • Contact our emergency dentist at Castlemaine Smiles.

2. Toothache

Although common in children, toothache can also happen to adults. To treat this, you should:

  • Gargle using lukewarm water with salt;
  • Floss teeth to remove any food particles wedged in between teeth;
  • Take an over-the-counter pain reliever to alleviate pain (do not place aspirin or any pain medication directly against the gums.);
  • Put a few drops of clove oil on a cotton swab and gently apply to infected tooth; and
  • If the ache is caused by trauma, press a cold compress on your cheek.

3. Lost Restoration or Filling

  • Do not try to fix the restoration on your own. Call our emergency dentist in Castlemaine Smiles immediately.
  • Keep your mouth clean.
  • Apply cold compress near the affected tooth.
  • Take over-the-counter pain medication to ease your discomfort.
  • Do not eat with the affected tooth once it is damaged.

4. Broken tooth

  • Rinse mouth with warm water.
  • Do not put pressure on the damaged tooth.
  • Take over-the-counter painkillers.
  • Apply a cold compress outside the mouth against the affected area.
