Dental emergencies occur when you least expect them and visiting an emergency dentist as soon as possible is your best chance for restoring your oral health. At Garden View, we are happy to address your emergency dental needs and help to save your teeth from damage.

We offer appointments for all dental emergencies from a toothache to lost or broken crowns, chipped teeth and fillings to abscesses, trauma and knocked out teeth. Our experienced emergency dentist in Beaconsfield will take good care of your injuries to ensure you avoid additional dental problems in the future. Here are some common dental emergencies and what you can do while waiting to be treated by the emergency dentist in Beaconsfield.

Knocked out teeth

If an adult tooth is knocked out, retrieve the tooth, hold it by the crown and use lukewarm water to carefully remove any dirt. It is really important not to touch the root of the tooth or try to remove any tissue that might still be attached.

If possible, put the tooth back into the socket. If the tooth can’t be replaced easily, hold it between your cheek and gums or put it into a clean container with milk or water. Visiting the emergency dentist as soon as possible after the injury can mean the difference between saving and losing your tooth.

Toothache

Toothache can have many underlying causes. However, it is often the result of an abscess around the root of a tooth or between the tooth and the gum line. If you think that you have an abscess, you should see an emergency dentist in Beaconsfield immediately. In the meantime, rinse your mouth out with a mild solution of salt and warm water to help draw the abscess, and take painkillers. Do not place the painkillers directly on your tooth and do not touch the abscess, which can cause more pain.

We are here to help you

In the event of any dental emergency, you should make an appointment to see an emergency dentist at Garden View as soon as possible. But in the meantime, taking the correct action as outlined above could help to save your teeth.
