Toothaches.

Toothaches are usually caused by decay, infection or inflamed gums. Their pain can be mild to extreme. Even if you can soothe the pain at home, untreated toothaches can worsen over time and may lead to serious infections in the tooth, gum disease or even bone loss. To prevent the spread of infection, we recommend you see a Gold Coast emergency dentist as soon as possible. 

If your toothache pain is extreme
Severe dental pain is often associated with an infected or abscessed tooth and may require immediate treatment like antibiotics, dental extraction or a root canal. If your pain is extreme, call us as soon as possible. Painkillers may be necessary until you can come in to see us; and apply an ice pack to the area to relieve your pain while you wait to be treated. If you have swelling of your face, we recommend that you contact us urgently as this can be life threatening.

Broken or Cracked Tooth.

Sports, pork crackle, missing a step, a silly accident – there are many ways to chip or crack a tooth! No matter how it happens, it’s never fun.

If you have a broken or cracked tooth, or you have lost or damaged a filling, you must see an emergency dentist on the Gold Coast straight away. If left untreated, a chipped tooth or cracked tooth will create a space for dental decay to develop which can seriously damage the dental pulp – leading to severe and painful toothaches.

If the tooth is sensitive to touch, or to air or water, this is a critical sign to seek immediate help.

Wisdom Teeth.

Problematic wisdom teeth are usually seen in patients age 16 and older. Even though wisdom teeth are natural and not everyone needs to get them removed, crowding and misaligned wisdom teeth can become painful and may need removal – especially if they are infected.

Signs of a wisdom tooth emergency
Your wisdom teeth are the furthest back teeth in the mouth, located behind your back molars, both on the top and bottom of your jaw. If you can see red or swollen gums, tenderness or bleeding; or if you are experiencing swelling or jaw pain at all in the area behind your last molars – you may need an emergency wisdom tooth removal. Do not delay as wisdom teeth can cause major complication to your jaw bone and even damage your other teeth. We recommend that you call an our Gold Coast emergency dentists ASAP before further complications develop.
