Emergency Dentist in Tweed Heads
“Emergency!” – it’s a word that nobody wants to hear. Yet, emergencies can happen at any time. It’s no different when it comes to your teeth. At TC Smiles, we provide emergency dental care for all ages. Contact us straightaway, let us know your situation and we will prioritise finding a spot to work you into our schedule on the day.
Our dental team will work efficiently to address your problem, get you out of pain and ensure that you’re happy when we’ve completed your treatment.
When to Call Us
You might be wondering if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency. When in doubt, call. It’s better to discuss your concern with us than to try to ignore it and let the problem worsen. Some of the common emergencies we see include toothaches, broken teeth and trauma from sports injuries.
Saving a Lost Tooth
Have you or your child had a tooth knocked out? There are some simple steps to take that maximise your chances of saving the tooth. Below, you can find complete instructions to follow.
- Stay calm. Call us and let us know you’re on the way. Remember, baby teeth do not need to be saved. Only adult teeth should be dealt with.
- Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown. Avoid touching the root of the tooth. The membrane on the root end can be essential to replacing the tooth, so be careful not to damage it.
- If the tooth is dirty, rinse it in milk, saline solution or cold running water for about 10 seconds.
- Place the tooth back into the socket in your mouth. When the tooth is repositioned, bite on a handkerchief to make sure it stays in place.
- If you’re unable to replant the tooth in the socket, carry it inside your cheek or in a small cup that is filled with milk.
