Dental emergencies

Our experienced dentists can assess the damage as well as commence treatment to provide immediate relief from discomfort.

In some cases, for example if a tooth is knocked out, it is important to see an emergency dentist as soon as possible. Teeth can often be saved if immediate action is taken.

What should you do in a dental emergency?


When a dental emergency occurs it can be a very stressful and painful time. You need a solution and need it fast! At iDental we encourage people to call us immediately for advice and for same day dental treatment. We always try our best to accommodate patients who have the misfortune of having experienced a dental emergency and our dentists are experts in solving a wide range of problems.

Why do you get a toothache?


Toothache can happen for a number of reasons. The most common is because of deep decay or a deep filling. The nerve in the tooth is not very resilient when there has been activity close to the nerve. This means that the nerve can become swollen and die. The only treatment is to see a dentist and have the tooth treated. Removing deep decay can solve the pain.

What do I do if a tooth is knocked out?


Prevention is always the best, so wearing a sports mouthguard is highly recommended. However if you knock out a tooth, there are a few things to consider.
If dirty, rinse tooth in milk holding it by the crown (not roots). If not available use water (few seconds only) or have patient suck it clean, then put the tooth back in the socket. If the tooth cannot be replanted, wrap in Glad Wrap or place it in milk or in the patient’s mouth inside the cheek. Go to a dentist within 30 minutes if you can. Time is critical for successful replanting.

What should I do if my tooth breaks?


If you can, gently clean the tooth with a tooth brush. This helps prevent gum irritation and further discomfort. You can buy orthodontic wax from a chemist to cover the broken part, but the best is to make a time to see an iDental dentist for an emergency repair.

Can you fix broken teeth?

Yes we can. Most teeth that are broken can be filled to look and fill like a natural tooth again. Where a tooth is badly broken or decayed, we might ask you to consider a crown. A crown is stronger than a filling and will hold the tooth together better.
In Balwyn Melbourne, iDental also has emergency dental times available for you. We also work with an emergency clinic for after hours serious emergencies so that you are looked after.

How long does a filling take? How long does a filling last?

A tooth filling takes an hour or less to be completed at iDental Balwyn. Often we try to complete a couple of teeth in once visit so that our treatment is planned to save you time.

Dental fillings usually last many years, but are not permanent. The size of the filling, the shape of the tooth and a few other factors will determine how long a filling will last. If you have had the experience of constant filling breakage, it is time to speak to Dr Giulia at iDental Balwyn, Melbourne. She is honest with your needs and her recommendations.
