Dental emergencies can happen when you are least prepared. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a broken filling. Prompt treatment is critical to prevent further damage and relieve pain. At Launceston Dentistry, we’re here to provide prompt, expert care for all your urgent dental needs.
If your gums are swollen or you notice bleeding, it's best to see your dentist to rule out gum disease. Some bleeding and swelling of the gums can be caused by brushing or flossing too hard. Over time, repetitive brushing with a firm brush can damage tooth enamel and cause gums to recede. It can also be a sign of gum disease.
Gingivitis is caused by a build-up of plague. Untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis and lead to receding gums. Untreated, it can compromise your jaw bone and increase the likelihood of infection and abscesses.
If you chip or crack a tooth, it is important to see your dentist as soon as possible. Your dentist will assess the severity of the damage and recommend the most appropriate treatment. Most chipped teeth can be repaired with full function and appearance being restored.
Broken or cracked teeth may require repair to prevent damage to the root and prevent further complications. Where possible, keep any tooth fragments and bring them with you to your appointment.
A tooth that is partially or fully knocked out may be saved. Where possible, we recommend you:
If you have lost a tooth or teeth some time ago, our team can help you decide if dental implants are a suitable treatment.
Treating a tooth infection or abscess focuses on addressing the underlying infection. Depending on the severity of the infection, root canal treatment may be recommended. This can help save your tooth and allow your dentist to restore its strength and function.
Where root canal treatment cannot save the tooth, your dentist may recommend extraction to prevent the infection from worsening. Left untreated, an abscess can lead to serious complications.
