Common Dental Emergencies We See in Albany

Dental emergencies happen without warning. Here are the most common situations we treat at our Albany clinic, along with what you can do before your appointment.

Severe toothache

Persistent or throbbing tooth pain often signals an underlying issue such as decay, infection, or an exposed nerve. While waiting for your appointment, rinse your mouth with warm salty water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. Call us as soon as possible so we can identify the cause and provide relief.

Knocked-out tooth

A knocked-out adult tooth is a true dental emergency. The tooth has the best chance of being saved if it is reinserted within an hour. Pick the tooth up by the crown (the top part), not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently with cold water without scrubbing. If possible, place it back into the socket. If not, store it in a small container of milk and bring it with you. Call our Albany clinic immediately on (08) 6388 0022.

Chipped or broken tooth

If a tooth has been chipped or broken, save any pieces that you can find and rinse your mouth with warm water. A cold compress can help reduce swelling. Call us so we can assess the damage and discuss treatment, which may involve a filling, crown, or other restoration depending on the severity.

Lost filling or crown

A lost filling or crown is uncomfortable but not always urgent. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and keep the area clean. If you still have the crown, bring it with you to your appointment. We will assess whether it can be re-cemented or whether a new restoration is needed.

Dental abscess

A dental abscess is a pocket of infection in the gum or around a tooth root. Signs include severe pain, swelling, a bad taste in the mouth, and sometimes fever. Rinse with warm salty water for temporary relief and call us promptly. Abscesses need professional treatment because the infection can spread if left untreated.

Soft-tissue injury

Cuts, bites, or tears to the lips, cheeks, gums, or tongue can bleed heavily. Rinse the area with warm salty water and apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze. A cold compress can reduce swelling. Call us if bleeding does not stop or if the injury looks serious.

Post-extraction bleeding or pain

Some bleeding and discomfort are normal after a tooth extraction, but heavy bleeding, severe pain, or signs of infection are not. If you have had an extraction recently and something does not feel right, call us so we can review and advise.

What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment

We understand that walking into a dental clinic in pain or distress can feel daunting. Here is how we approach every emergency visit at our Albany clinic so you know what to expect.

On arrival

We will check you in and ask a few questions about what has happened, your symptoms, and any relevant medical history. If you are in significant pain, we prioritise getting you into the chair as quickly as possible.

Examination and diagnosis

Your dentist will examine the area and may take an X-ray to understand exactly what is going on. We will then explain what we have found in plain language so you understand the situation.

Treatment plan and consent

Before any treatment begins, we walk you through your options and the cost involved. You decide what you want to do. In many cases we can provide same-day treatment to relieve pain and address the immediate problem; in others we may need to schedule follow-up care.

Treatment and aftercare

Once you are comfortable to proceed, we provide the treatment and give you clear aftercare instructions before you leave. We will let you know what to expect over the next few days and when to follow up.

Your dental health is our top priority. Our team at Radiant Smiles Dental Care is committed to providing you with prompt and effective treatment to alleviate your pain and discomfort and restore your oral health. 

Our clinic is open until 11 pm on most weeknights and 10 pm on Saturdays, because we understand that toothaches don’t clock out at 5 pm. Whether it’s an awfully painful toothache or a dental accident, we’re here to restore your radiant smile. Patients closer to Denmark can be seen at our Denmark dental clinic on South Coast Highway, where Dr Anand is also available after hours.
