Dental pain can be stressful, especially when it happens suddenly. Sleek Dental helps patients in Hilton and nearby Adelaide suburbs with urgent dental concerns, including toothache, broken teeth, swelling, lost fillings, dental injuries and painful wisdom teeth.
If you are experiencing dental pain or have a dental emergency, contact our team as soon as possible. We can help you understand the next step and arrange an appointment where possible.
When to see an emergency dentist
You may need emergency dental care if you have:
- Severe toothache or ongoing dental pain.
- A broken, chipped or cracked tooth.
- Swelling around the gum, jaw or face.
- A knocked-out adult tooth.
- A lost filling, crown or veneer.
- Bleeding after a dental injury.
- Pain from wisdom teeth.
- Signs of infection, such as swelling, bad taste or pus.
- Pain when biting or chewing.
Even if the problem seems minor, dental pain can get worse quickly. Early assessment can help reduce discomfort, protect the tooth and prevent the issue from becoming more serious.
Toothache and dental pain
Tooth pain can be caused by decay, infection, a cracked tooth, gum inflammation, grinding, trauma or wisdom teeth. If your pain is sharp, throbbing, keeping you awake, or getting worse, it is best to have it checked by a dentist.
At Sleek Dental, we assess the cause of the pain and explain your treatment options clearly. Depending on the problem, treatment may involve a filling, dental crown, root canal treatment, antibiotics where appropriate, or another option suited to your situation.
Broken, chipped or cracked tooth
A broken tooth should be checked as soon as possible, especially if there is pain, sensitivity or a sharp edge. Treatment depends on how much of the tooth is damaged.
In some cases, a simple repair may be enough. In others, the tooth may need a crown, root canal treatment or further care. If you have broken a tooth, avoid chewing on that side and call Sleek Dental for advice.
Swelling or dental infection
Swelling around the gum, jaw or face can be a sign of infection and should not be ignored. Dental infections can become serious if left untreated.
If you have facial swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, or swelling that is spreading, seek urgent medical care or attend a hospital emergency department.
For dental pain, gum swelling or suspected infection, contact Sleek Dental so we can guide you on the safest next step.
Knocked-out adult tooth
If an adult tooth has been knocked out, time matters. Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline. Do not scrub it.
If possible, place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk and call a dentist immediately. The sooner the tooth is treated, the better the chance of saving it.
