Emergency Dental Care
Same-day emergency appointments for quick relief from dental pain and urgent issues.
Introduction
Dental emergencies can happen at any time and often require immediate attention. At Northcote Family Dentist, we understand that tooth pain, broken teeth, or dental injuries can't always wait for a scheduled appointment. That's why we offer same-day emergency dental care to provide you with quick relief and peace of mind. Common dental emergencies include severe toothaches, knocked-out or broken teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. Our experienced emergency dentists are equipped to handle urgent dental issues promptly and effectively, helping you get out of pain and back to your normal routine as quickly as possible.
What to Expect
When you call with a dental emergency, our team will quickly assess your situation and schedule you for a same-day appointment whenever possible. Upon arrival, we'll take you straight to an exam room where our dentist will evaluate your condition, often with the help of X-rays to diagnose the problem accurately. We'll discuss treatment options and provide immediate care to relieve pain and address the urgent issue. This might include prescribing antibiotics for infection, performing an emergency extraction, re-cementing a crown, or providing a temporary filling. In some cases, we can complete definitive treatment right away; in others, we'll stabilize the situation and schedule a follow-up appointment for comprehensive care. Throughout the process, our priority is your comfort and well-being.
Prevention and Aftercare
After emergency treatment, follow all aftercare instructions carefully, including taking any prescribed medications as directed. Apply ice to reduce swelling, stick to soft foods, and avoid the affected area when chewing. If pain persists or worsens, contact us immediately. Many dental emergencies can be prevented with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, which allow us to catch and treat problems before they become urgent. Wear a mouthguard during sports, avoid chewing hard objects, and don't use your teeth to open packages. Keep our emergency contact information handy so you can reach us quickly if an urgent issue arises.
