Being seen by a dentist improves the chances of saving injured, broken or fractured teeth, as well as hopefully preventing an infection which in some cases may be life threatening. Early assessment is important to prevent issues from getting troublesome and requiring more complex treatment down the track.

Our team will gladly stay back when required to relieve you of your discomfort without requiring you to pay exorbitant call out fees.

What Could A Dental Emergency Look Like?

What Happens If My Tooth Is Knocked Out?
- Hold the tooth by the crown (white part of the tooth) rather than the root
- Avoid rubbing or scrubbing any tissue fragments from the tooth
- Place the tooth back into the socket if it is clean. You can wash with milk or your own saliva to gently clean before placing back into the socket
- If tooth cannot be inserted into socket, please store the tooth in milk or wrap in plastic
- Alternatively, store in the owner’s mouth next to the cheek
- Ensure that the tooth does not dry out
- Because time is of the essence, seek emergency dental treatment
What If A Baby Tooth Is Knocked Out?
- Do not try to re-insert the tooth into the socket.
- Re-implanting a knocked-out baby tooth can cause problems with the adult tooth’s development.
- To guarantee that any injuries to the gums or lips can be controlled, get dental treatment right away
