Emergency Dentists in Mornington

1. Knocked-Out Teeth

Our emergency dentists often take on patients who have experienced impact to their mouth that has resulted in one or more teeth falling out.

If this has happened to you, the best thing to do is to stay calm, ice the impacted area and keep your fallen-out teeth clean and safe.

You can keep your teeth free from contamination by keeping them in milk or a saline solution until your appointment. Doing so will ensure the teeth are in a good condition to be re-inserted.

Alternatively, if you can’t find your fallen-out teeth, our capable dentists will be able to replace them with a dental implant or dental bridge.

2. Swelling In The Gums Or Face

Facial or gum swelling can be an indication of a dental problem and should be something you seek treatment for.

Common causes of swelling are tooth decay, gum disease, or abnormal wisdom tooth growth.

Our qualified emergency dentists in Mornington will complete a dental examination to determine the cause of inflammation and tailor a treatment plan for you.

3. Pain Or Sensitivity

Dentin hypersensitivity, or tooth sensitivity, can cause pain and discomfort in your mouth, head and even neck.

This abnormal reaction may be brought upon by exposure to a number of things, like a sudden change in mouth temperature, and can be the cause of tooth decay, worn-out enamel or gum disease.

It’s recommended to book an emergency appointment with our Mornington dentists to alleviate your symptoms and create a short and long-term plan.

4. Chipped, Cracked Or Broken Teeth

Whether you’ve bitten on an unsuspecting pip or you’ve knocked a tooth on a hard object and broken it, we recommend calling our team today for an emergency appointment.

Before your appointment, make sure to clean the impacted area with warm water. If you’re experiencing any pain, an ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth can help soothe the area and reduce swelling.

Our Mornington emergency dentists will assess the damage to your tooth or teeth and recommend the best course of action for you.

5. Severe Toothaches

Have you woken up with a throbbing tooth? There may be a range of problems causing your discomfort which should be addressed as soon as possible.

Common causes include cracked teeth, failing fillings, cavities and possible infection.

To avoid the problem from getting worse or spreading to other teeth, we recommend booking an emergency visit with one of our capable Mornington dentists.

6. Emergency Cosmetic Treatments

Our capable Mornington dentists provide emergency appointments for a range of issues, including orthodontics and cosmetic dentistry, and not just issues that fall under general dentistry.

So whether you’re experiencing difficulties with your porcelain veneers or whether a wire from your braces is painfully sticking out, we’ll treat your cosmetic dentistry needs with equal urgency.

7. Impacted Wisdom Teeth

An impacted or infected wisdom tooth can cause problems such as pain and discomfort, gum disease or even damage to other teeth.

It’s best to get your wisdom tooth looked at by a trusted dentist at the onset of any pain or discomfort.

Our Melbourne dentists would be more than happy to book you in for an emergency consultation to evaluate the condition of your wisdom teeth and create a tailored treatment plan.

8. Root Canal Therapy

Once an infection reaches the pulp or root of your tooth, you can experience some truly significant pain.

To relieve your pain and restore your tooth’s functioning, our capable dentists will remove any decay or active infection and fill your tooth with a material that will prevent further decay from occurring. To strengthen your tooth, a dental crown is also recommended.

If you’re experiencing this type of pain, we recommend booking an emergency appointment with our dentists in Mornington.
