Nothing ruins your day quicker than a broken or painful tooth! A tooth emergency immediately stops any activity you were participating in and can result in stress and panic.
But have no fear! At SmilesHQ, we handle all types of dental emergencies and are here for you when you need us most. Even if your emergency occurs outside of our normal business hours, which is common, we can provide instructions over the phone on how to contact your Newcastle emergency dentists. We'll assess your condition over the phone and discuss the next steps.
Emergency Dental Care at SmilesHQ
Here are some of the common tooth emergencies we help patients with.
- Severe toothaches — A constant toothache that keeps you from everyday activities is likely an infection. This situation won't resolve independently, and you will need treatment to eliminate the infection, alleviate your pain and discomfort, and preserve your tooth structure.
- Chipped or broken teeth — A chipped or broken tooth could cause discomfort or further damage. Our team will assess your situation over the phone and determine if you need immediate treatment.
- Lost fillings or crowns — A compromised or lost restoration could result in more damage and discomfort. We will need to repair or replace your restoration soon to restore your smile to health.
- Abscesses or infections — Don't delay treating an abscessed or infected tooth, as it could spread to neighbouring teeth or other critical areas of your body, like the brain. It will also continue to cause pain, which is severe in many cases.
- Knocked-out or partially dislodged teeth — Time is critical in this situation, as the quicker our dentists can treat your tooth, the better chance we have of saving it! Transport it carefully in either milk or saliva or place it back in its socket.
