Cracked/Broken Teeth

Cracked or Broken teeth can happen anywhere, anytime. They can also happen for a variety of different reasons. Most commonly, they occur because of old fillings, teeth grinding or weakened tooth structure.

This can happen to both front and back teeth. Of course, it is far more stressful if you have a broken front tooth, especially after hours.

Remedy: Our clinicians will first asses the cause of the broken tooth and he extent of the fracture. Immediately, we are able to repair the tooth to its normal appearance and function. However, if the damage is severe then we may recommend further treatment for example a full coverage crown or a root canal treatment which can be done immediately or another time if you wish.

Lost/Avulsed teeth

Avulsion of a whole tooth can occur due to trauma (for example a fall), or it can happen if the tooth is already loose due to lack of supporting structures like bone. This can be an extremely stressful occurrence especially if it should occur after hours when most dental facilities are closed. 

Remedy: If your tooth was avulsed due to trauma, and you have it with you (ideally stored in milk), our clinicians may be able to use your own tooth and replace it back in it’s socket.

However if you do not have your tooth or it is unable to be recovered, our clinicians are able to provide permanent replacement teeth immediately.

That means you are able to leave our emergency clinic with a brand new tooth.

Swollen Gums

Swollen gums can occur for a variety of different reasons. Most commonly they occur because of plaque build up underneath our gums, a localized infection within the gums, or around an erupting tooth (for example a wisdom tooth). 

Swollen gums can be painful and stressful particularly if they occur after hours when most dental facilities are closed.

Remedy: Our clinicians will first asses the cause of the swollen gums. Then we are able to treat the gum swelling. If the cause is a plaque build up, then we can treat it by performing gum treatment immediately. If the cause is an infection, we can provide immediate relief to the infected tooth or gums.

If the cause is an erupting wisdom tooth, we are able to remove the wisdom tooth right away.

Wisdom Tooth Surgery

Wisdom teeth can cause a lot of pain and stress when they are problematic. This is especially so if the problem occurs after hours when most other dental facilities are closed. 

Remedy: Our clinicians must first assess whether the wisdom tooth should be removed. Not all our wisdom teeth require a removal.

If yours does not, then we are able to relieve the pain by thoroughly cleansing the area and providing medication.

However, if the wisdom tooth does need to be removed, we are able to carry out the procedure right away for you if you wish.

Toothaches

Toothaches are a general term for pain and discomfort that eminates from one or more teeth. They can occur for many different reasons but most commonly due to compromising the nerve within a specific tooth or teeth. 

Getting a toothache is not a pleasant experience, least of all if it occurs after hours when most other dental facilities are closed.

Remedy: Needless to say, due to the many causes of toothaches, our clinicians will first have to establish the cause of your pain. This could be deep decay encroaching upon the nerve in a tooth, it could be due to a deep filling that it compromising the nerve in a tooth, or many other reasons.

Once the reason is established, we are able to carry out the relieving procedure right away. That may be re-doing an old filling or even something more complicated like a root canal treatment. Our clinicians are able to carry it out immediately if you wish so that your pain is alleviated and you can get a good night’s rest.
