Dental Emergency? Here’s What to Do!

Tuesday, October 18th, 2016

Accidents happen. Here is how we can help you and how you can help yourself, in a variety of emergency dental scenarios.

What if my tooth gets knocked out?

Firstly, try not to lose the tooth as it is possible to re-insert it after it has been knocked out. No worries if you do lose a tooth though, we offer a variety of tooth replacements. If you do still have the tooth, wash it carefully and attempt to re-insert it. If it won’t fit back in place, either put in a bowl with some milk or gently put the tooth in your mouth against your cheek. The faster you are at getting to the dentist, the more likely you are to save the tooth!

What if I fracture my tooth?

If your tooth is broken or fractured, please take advantage of our emergency appointments and call right away! Cleaning your mouth with warm water is useful. You can also use a cold compress to help with swelling.

What if I bite my lip or tongue badly?

Don’t trivialise this – you might need stitches! If you are losing blood, visiting your nearest emergency room is more than advisable.

What if I think my jaw is broken?

Apply a cold compress to your jaw to help relieve swelling. If your jaw hurts following an accident, we suggest visiting your local hospital for a check-up.

My tooth REALLY hurts!

Toothaches can happen for a number of reasons, but their most common cause is tooth infection. If your toothache is worsening, you can try to stave off further developments by rinsing the mouth with warm water and flossing to remove trapped bits of food. Specialised mouthwashes can also help fight excess bacteria.

DO NOT rest pain killers on your gums or teeth, lest you risk burning your gums.  If the pain persists, contact us to receive treatment!

How to Deal with a Dental Emergency

Tuesday, June 14th, 2016

Most people are aware that if they need urgent medical help, they call 999 and an ambulance arrives, but what happens if you have a dental crisis in Liverpool?

What to do if you have a dental emergency

If you’re in pain, have an accident or injure your tooth and need urgent help, call us and we will do everything we can to see you as soon as possible.

Dental injuries

Types of dental injury include:

  • dislodged tooth (also known as avulsion)
  • severe dental pain
  • broken tooth
  • dental abscess

If you have lost a tooth through a sports injury or as a result of a fall, it may be possible for us to save the tooth, so call us as quickly as you can. If we are able to see you quickly enough, we will implant the tooth back into the socket and patch you up in no time.

Whatever your injury, we will do our best to remedy your pain and make you feel comfortable as soon as possible. If you need treatment and you are anxious, we can offer sedation. Sedation is a technique that enables patients to feel more relaxed and calmer during a procedure.
