Emergency dental is needed when there’s an unexpected, emergency dental issue – whether from an accident or sudden onset pain in the mouth.

Our Albury emergency dental services cover off:

• Severe pain in the teeth or gums, often accompanied by swelling
• Recent impact on teeth, jaw, or mouth
• Teeth have been chipped, broken, or knocked out
• Bleeding in the gums or mouth that does not stop on its own
• Lost fillings or dental crowns
• Evidence of pus or abscesses from within the mouth

Our Albury emergency dentists are available after-hours and can provide assistance at all hours. We can schedule an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible to get you in the chair, identify the cause of pain or issue, and provide an immediate solution.

While waiting for the appointment, if you’re swollen or in pain, use an ice pack to alleviate swelling and inflammation. If a tooth has been knocked out, it may be possible to save the loose tooth — place the tooth in milk or a saline solution while waiting for your appointment.

What is not considered a dental emergency?

Mild discomfort, loose dentures, or a teeth cleaning are not considered dental emergencies. Unless these circumstances are accompanied by pain that has become unbearable, they can be resolved during a regular dental visit. 

What can cause severe tooth pain?

Severe tooth pain is more intense than a regular toothache – it can be unbearable without pain relief. Severe tooth pain is often a sign of a dental infection that can be caused by sudden impacts to the mouth or jaw, poor dental hygiene, a crack in the teeth, gum infection, or tooth decay. 

Can a broken tooth be saved?

It is possible for a broken tooth to be saved instead of extracting it. However, it will depend on the level of damage sustained and the condition of surrounding gums. A chipped tooth can be fixed with composite filling, and minor cracks will usually be treated with a dental crown to preserve as much of the original structure as possible. For severe cases where the breaking point is close to the tooth’s root, an extraction will be necessary to reduce the complication of infections.
