Dental emergencies in Reservoir, VIC, can be uncomfortable and concerning. An assessment can help determine the cause of your symptoms and whether dental treatment is required.

Common Dental Emergencies We Assess

Dental emergencies can involve teeth, gums, dental restorations or injuries to the mouth. Common concerns we assess include:

• Severe or persistent toothache — Ongoing or significant tooth pain may have several possible causes, including decay, infection or damage to a tooth.
• Facial or gum swelling — Swelling around a tooth, gum or face can be associated with infection and should be assessed promptly.
• Chipped, cracked or knocked-out teeth — Dental injuries can damage the tooth or surrounding tissues and may require timely assessment.
• Lost fillings or crowns — A lost restoration can leave the affected tooth exposed and sensitive.
• Dental abscesses — An abscess is an infection that can cause pain, swelling and other symptoms.
• Dental injuries — Trauma involving the teeth, gums, lips or other parts of the mouth may require dental assessment.
• Pain following dental treatment — Some discomfort can occur after dental treatment, but persistent, worsening or concerning symptoms should be discussed with your dentist.
• Broken dentures — Damaged dentures may affect eating, speaking or comfort and can require assessment or repair.

If you have a dental emergency in Reservoir, VIC, please contact The Dental Place and explain your symptoms to our team. We can advise you about arranging an appointment based on your circumstances and current availability. 

Before you are seen:

• Avoid chewing on a painful or injured area where possible.
• Keep any broken tooth fragments or a knocked-out tooth clean and bring them with you if appropriate.
• If a permanent tooth has been knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown rather than the root and seek dental care as soon as possible.
• Do not attempt to carry out dental treatment yourself.
• Follow any specific instructions provided by your dental team.

When to Seek Hospital Care

Some situations require urgent medical attention rather than a routine dental appointment.

Please seek emergency medical care if you have significant facial or neck swelling that is affecting your breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, a serious facial injury, or another symptom that appears to require immediate medical attention.

If you are unsure whether your symptoms require hospital care, we encourage you to contact a healthcare professional or emergency service for advice.
