Frequently Asked Questions
Can I go to the ER for a tooth abscess?
While ERs can help manage pain and prescribe antibiotics, they aren’t equipped for dental-specific procedures like abscess drainage or tooth extractions. It’s best to contact a dental clinic for proper treatment.
How long can a tooth infection go unaddressed?
A tooth infection should never be ignored. It can quickly spread to your jaw, neck, or other parts of your body, leading to serious complications. Prompt treatment is essential.
What can I do for my toothache if my dental clinic is closed?
- Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
- Take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen.
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Avoid using home remedies or aspirin directly on the tooth.
Contact us as soon as we reopen for immediate care.
What are the signs and symptoms of a tooth infection spreading?
- Swelling in the face or neck
- Fever and fatigue
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Persistent, throbbing pain
- Foul taste due to pus
These symptoms are serious and require immediate attention.
How do I know if my dental problem is an emergency?
If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, bleeding, or trauma, it’s likely an emergency. Don’t wait—contact us immediately to discuss your symptoms and get the care you need.
Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?
Yes, but quick action is crucial. Rinse the tooth without touching the root and place it back in the socket if possible. Otherwise, keep it in a container of milk or saliva and head to our clinic right away.
How much does an emergency dental visit cost?
Costs depend on the treatment required, but we offer affordable care. We accept all private health funds and provide flexible payment options to suit your financial needs.
How to handle an emergency dental situation temporarily?
- For toothaches, rinse with warm water and floss gently.
- Apply a cold compress for swelling.
- For a knocked-out tooth, place it back in the socket or keep it moist in milk.
- If bleeding occurs, use gauze to stop it.
Call us immediately for further assistance.
A few things to avoid doing during a dental emergency:
- Don’t ignore your pain—it usually gets worse over time.
- Don’t touch the root of a knocked-out tooth to avoid damage.
- Don’t use home remedies, as they may cause more harm.
- Don’t go to the ER. Instead, contact us for fast, effective dental care.
