Dental Pain or Emergency?

Dental Pain or Emergency?

Dental problems can sometimes develop unexpectedly. If you are experiencing toothache, swelling, a broken tooth or another urgent dental concern, an early assessment can help identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.

What happens during an emergency dental visit?

1. Assessment

Your dentist will discuss your symptoms and examine the affected tooth or area.

2. Diagnostic Tests

Depending on your condition, appropriate tests or dental X-rays may be recommended to help identify the cause of the problem.

3. Diagnosis & Treatment Options

We will explain our findings and discuss appropriate treatment options, including the benefits, limitations, and expected next steps where relevant.

4. Treatment

Where appropriate and clinically indicated, treatment may be provided during the same visit. More complex conditions may require further appointments or additional investigations.

Common Dental Emergencies

You may wish to arrange an assessment if you experience:

• persistent or severe toothache
• facial or gum swelling
• a broken or fractured tooth
• pain when biting
• a lost filling or crown
• wisdom tooth pain or swelling
• dental trauma
• bleeding following dental treatment that does not settle
