Emergency Dental Service in Craigieburn

We here at Dazzling Smiles Dental treat emergency patients  by our best emergency dentist in craigieburn on a daily basis so we know what to expect and exactly what to do to help you. Toothaches and pain can be like no pain you have ever experienced. It can range from general discomfort and sensitivity to unbearable and throbbing pain. And to top it all off at times taking pain killers DOES NOT work. For this reason, it is vital to contact us as soon as possible before your situation goes from bad to worse.

There are many reasons why you may need to visit an emergency dentist in Craigieburn:

1) Emergency dentist due to a chipped or broken tooth

  • This can often be a very embarrassing or painful ordeal

2) Emergency dentist due to wisdom tooth

  • In most cases painful wisdom teeth cannot be removed on the day due to severe infection. Instead the infection and pain must first be controlled with antibiotics, pain killers and good oral hygiene before removal,
  • However, it is important to see a dentist so a plan of action can be made

3) Dental Emergency Services due to severe infection and swelling

  • A common sign of infection is swelling of the gums or jaw and this is often the most painful type of toothache. This results when the nerves inside the tooth or the gums around the tooth become infected.
  • Pain killers should be taken (see below) in the interim before you come in to see us

4) Emergency dentist due to wobbly or fallen out tooth

  • If a baby or milk tooth has fallen out we advise not to place the tooth back into the socket but instead go to the childrens hospital.
  • If an adult tooth has fallen out please call out emergency department immediately and we will advise you in the best course of action to save the tooth.
  • Loose teeth can often bother people during eating and can also be a choking hazard should it come out, They often have to be removed. If you feel like your teeth are loose or painful please contact us immediately

5) Emergency dentist due to ulcers or cold sores

  • If you have any lesions, ulcers or sores that last in your mouth for more than 2 weeks, it is vital that you consult your emergency dentist so we can effectively treat your condition.
