Our Dental Emergency Treatment

Casey Dentists provides immediate treatment for patients who require emergency dental procedures.

Subsequently, definitive treatment can be provided, a referral can be obtained or ideally a full mouth examination and case presentation can be arranged where our treatment co-ordinator can discuss your options and secure your dental health for the long term.

What should I do if I have a dental emergency?

The first thing to determine is the urgency of the emergency. If you have an intense toothache, swelling, injured jaw, a knocked out permanent tooth and oral bleeding that won’t stop it is important to notify an emergency dentist in Townsville right away. To reduce pain or swelling, you can make a warm mouthwash with salt and hot water and use a cold compress.

If you’ve lost a filling, cracked a tooth, damaged a retainer or night guard this is considered a non-urgent dental emergency. Keep knocked out teeth moist with milk or a tooth preservation product and contact your dentist.

Preventing Dental Emergencies

There are simple precautions you can observe to prevent accidents and injury to teeth. These include using a mouth guard when participating in sports or robust recreational activities, avoiding chewing hard food such as ice, popcorn kernels and hard sweets and avoiding using teeth as scissors or bottle openers.
