If you have a dental emergency in the Forster area, we recommend contacting our dental clinic as soon as possible to arrange a booking. Whenever possible, we treat dental emergencies on the same day.
As you await your emergency dental appointment, there are things you can do to help lessen pain or potentially save a tooth, which we’ll cover in this blog.
Dental emergency treatments may include, but are not limited to:
- Toothache and Building Discomfort
- Jaw or Face Swelling
- Knocked-Out Tooth or Restoration
- Broken Tooth or Restoration
- Soft-Tissue Injury
- Object Stuck Between Teeth
Of course, if you have an oral health situation that does not include the above criteria, we want to hear from you. A team member can determine whether your situation is a dental emergency.
What to Do as You Await Your Emergency Dental Visit
When you call our dental clinic to arrange your emergency booking, a team member can provide more customised first aid, but as a rule, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever if medically able to reduce discomfort. You can also apply ice periodically to reduce swelling. Gauze is the best way to staunch mild blood flow.
Remember, if your oral injury extends beyond the mouth (impact trauma, for example), please visit the emergency room first. You can contact our dental clinic after you’ve been assessed. Your safety is always the priority.
