Emergency Dentistry 

For when you least expect it

Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them, and when they do, you need prompt and skilled care to relieve pain and ensure your oral health. At 15 Collins Dental, we are here to provide you with urgent care when you need it most. Our Emergency Dentistry services cover a wide range of issues, from abscesses and infections to wisdom teeth problems and accidents.

Common Dental Emergencies We Address

Abscesses and Infections

Dental abscesses and infections can be excruciatingly painful and require immediate attention. Our experienced team is equipped to diagnose and treat these issues promptly, providing relief and preventing the infection from spreading.

Wisdom Teeth Troubles

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, can often cause discomfort and pain, especially when they become impacted or infected. Our dentists are skilled in evaluating wisdom teeth issues and providing appropriate treatment options, including extractions when necessary.

Accidents and Injuries

Accidents can lead to dental trauma, such as broken or knocked-out teeth. If you or a loved one experiences a dental emergency due to an accident, contact us immediately. We offer comprehensive care to address trauma-related issues and minimise damage.

When to Seek Emergency Dental Care

If you experience severe dental pain, swelling, bleeding, or have suffered a dental injury, it’s essential to seek emergency dental care promptly. Our team is available to address your concerns and provide timely assistance during your dental emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions

If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it with milk or saliva (not water), and try to reinsert it into the socket. If this is not possible, place it in milk or a tooth preservation kit and seek immediate dental attention.

Rinse your mouth with warm water, floss gently to remove any debris, and take over-the-counter pain relievers as directed. However, it’s crucial to see a dentist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Dental abscesses and infections can be serious and should not be ignored. Contact us immediately for an evaluation and appropriate treatment. Avoid applying heat to the affected area, as it can worsen the infection.

It’s generally not advisable to wait if you are experiencing severe dental pain, swelling, or other signs of a dental emergency. Delaying treatment can lead to more significant issues. Seeking immediate attention can help address the problem promptly and prevent further complications.
While not all dental emergencies can be prevented, you can take steps to reduce the risk. Maintain good oral hygiene, wear protective gear during sports activities, avoid chewing on hard objects, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups to catch and address issues early.
