Emergency Dentist Narre Warren

There is nothing quite like the sudden jolt of tooth pain or the panic that comes with a knocked-out tooth. In these moments, what you need most is relief, guidance, and reassurance. 

At Melbourne Dental Vision in Narre Warren, we recognise the urgency and distress a dental emergency can cause. It is why we are committed to seeing you the same day, whenever possible. And, with extended clinic hours seven days a week, we try to be available when you need us the most.

What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies can range from sudden tooth pain to a lost filling or physical trauma. Here are some instances where we recommend seeking prompt emergency dental care:

• Severe toothache or persistent dental pain
• Lost or dislodged crown or filling
• Broken, cracked or fractured tooth 
• Injury to soft tissue, like the lips and tongue
• A knocked-out or partially displaced tooth

The best way to help yourself in a dental emergency is to remain calm and contact us promptly. Delaying treatment might lead to further complications, and our team of expert emergency dentists in Narre Warren is just a call away.

How to Handle Your Dental Emergency

We want you to remain as comfortable as possible until you see us, so here are some tips on handling your emergency in the meantime: 

• Toothache — Gently rinse your mouth with warm water. Use dental floss to remove any debris stuck between teeth. Taking over-the-counter pain medication may also help reduce pain and inflammation.
• Lost crown or filling — Place the crown back on the tooth and secure it temporarily with toothpaste. For lost fillings, keep the area clean and place a small piece of sugarless gum on the exposed tooth to protect it. 
• Broken tooth — Rinse your mouth and the broken piece with warm water. Apply a cold compress to the affected area to reduce swelling.
• Knocked-out or partially knocked-out tooth — Time is crucial here. Hold the tooth by its crown (the visible part). Don't touch the root, but gently rinse if it's dirty. If possible, reinsert it into its socket. If that's not an option, keep the tooth moist by placing it in milk or holding it between your cheek and gums. Seek emergency dental care immediately.
