Preventative measures are important to help minimise dental emergency occurrences. Have a comprehensive examination, any treatment required planned and completed before conditions worsen and make sure you stick with your regular 6 monthly dental hygiene visits. All these measures can help minimise the likelihood of you experiencing and requiring treatment for a dental emergency. Speak with your regular dentist to learn what emergency dental services they offer and make sure they are kept up to date with any medical or dental history changes you may have.
As a comprehensive and emergency dentist in Gold Coast, Burleigh Dental Studio provides effective and responsive dental care to minimise pain and treat a wide variety of emergency situations.
Do You Need To See An Emergency Dentist?
If you are suffering from pain or sensitivity in your mouth, or you have noticed a lump or a cavity that is not usually there, it is important to stop and consider how urgent your dental needs are. Many of our patients find it challenging to assess the urgency of dental problems, especially if they are not in great pain. However, some dental issues that do not cause severe pain still require urgent care, especially those which can lead to bigger problems down the line if they are not treated quickly. Signs and symptoms that you are in need of an emergency trip to the dentist include:
- Severe pain anywhere inside your mouth
- An abscess or swelling inside your mouth or on the gums
- Excessive bleeding from your teeth or gums
- A visibly damaged or chipped tooth
- A fever that you suspect is related to a dental problem
If left untreated, many of the problems that these signs and symptoms can indicate will lead to permanent damage, loss of teeth, or in some cases serious infections that can affect your overall health as well as your dental health. If you are not sure, it is important to get assessed as soon as possible.

How To temporarily Manage These Issues
Broken, chipped or fractured teeth
Firstly, rinse your mouth using warm water. If bleeding is present, apply a piece of gauze to the area for 20 minutes or until the bleeding stops. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth, lip, or cheek near the damaged tooth to help relieve pain and reduce any swelling.
Toothaches
If you are experiencing a toothache, rinse your mouth with warm water and use dental floss to remove any food or debris that may be lodged around the sore tooth. If swelling is present, apply a cold compress to the outside of your mouth or cheek in the affected area.
Abscess
An abscess is an infection which presents around the root of a tooth or in between your tooth and gums. These infections are serious and can lead to damage of your soft tissues and surrounding teeth. If left untreated, they have the potential to spread to other parts of the body and affect your overall health. As there are serious oral and general health risks that can result from a tooth abscess, visit your emergency dentist to have this condition treated as soon as possible.
Extruded, intruded or avulsed tooth
If your tooth has been avulsed (completely dislodged), retrieve the tooth and take care to only hold it by the crown (the part usually visible in the mouth). If the tooth is dirty, rinse it off with water making sure to avoid scrubbing away any attached soft tissue. Gently try to reposition the tooth with very light finger pressure. If this is not possible, place it between your cheek and gum to keep it moist or store the tooth in a small container of milk, saliva, or salt water.
In either of these cases, immediately schedule an emergency dental appointment. These traumatised teeth have the highest chance of being saved if assessed and treated by your dentist within 60 minutes of the incident.
