Advice for Common Dental Emergencies in Clifton
01
A knocked-out tooth
A knocked-out tooth is very traumatic. If you have sustained injuries to your face or body, please visit A&E. A friend or family member should call the emergency dentist as soon as possible — this type of dental emergency is time sensitive.
Only handle the tooth by the crown, never the roots. Do not wash or scrub the tooth. If possible, store it in your mouth or a container of cold milk until you can see the emergency dentist.
02
Dental abscess
A dental abscess is caused by an infection in your tooth. You may feel pain, swelling or notice inflammation. You should book to see the emergency dentist as soon as possible.
While waiting, take paracetamol for pain and rinse your mouth with warm salty water. The emergency dentist will assess the issue, ease the pain and may recommend further treatment such as root canal therapy.
03
A broken crown
If your dental crown breaks, take paracetamol to manage any pain and rinse your mouth with warm salty water to keep the area clean. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and eat soft foods only.
Avoid hot or sugary drinks until you've seen the emergency dentist. If possible, bring the broken pieces of the crown with you. The dentist may be able to repair it, or advise on a replacement.
