Immediate Help for Dental Accidents
If you experience a sudden dental injury—such as a knocked-out or dislodged tooth—it’s critical to act quickly. Here are some steps to follow before visiting our clinic:
- Try to gently reposition a dislodged tooth using clean fingers—don’t force it
- Hold it in place by softly biting down
- Avoid chewing or eating on the injured side
- Do not eat or drink anything hot
- If a tooth is completely knocked out, place it in a container of milk and bring it with you
- Avoid scrubbing the root or rinsing it in tap water
Seeking prompt care at Hume Dental Group increases the chances of saving a damaged or dislodged tooth.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
We provide fast, effective care for a wide range of dental emergencies, including:
⚠️Tooth Trauma
Sports injuries, accidents, and falls can all cause trauma to teeth and gums. If a tooth becomes loose, chipped, or knocked out, urgent attention is essential. We offer immediate assessment and treatment to stabilise or reimplant the affected tooth when possible.
⚠️ Toothache
Persistent or severe tooth pain may be caused by decay, infection, or damage. Our emergency dentists will relieve your discomfort and diagnose the issue. Treatment options may include a filling, root canal, or extraction depending on the condition of the tooth.
⚠️ Infections & Abscesses
Signs of infection may include swelling, pus, a foul taste, or pain near the tooth or gums. Left untreated, infections can spread. Our team can treat infections with antibiotics and provide long-term solutions like root canal therapy or extraction.
⚠️ Lost or Damaged Dental Work
Lost fillings, broken crowns, or cracked veneers not only affect your appearance—they can lead to pain and further damage. We offer same-day replacements or repairs whenever possible to restore both function and aesthetics.
⚠️ Broken or Damaged Dentures
If your dentures break or no longer fit correctly, we can provide quick repairs or adjustments so you can get back to eating and speaking comfortably.
Why You Shouldn’t Delay Treatment
Delaying emergency dental care can lead to serious complications, including infections, tooth loss, or worsening pain. Early treatment is essential to prevent further damage and preserve your oral health. At Hume Dental Group, we make it easy to access care with minimal wait times and expert support.
