Emergency Dentistry at Lightwood Dental
Same Day Care at Ferntree Gully Dentist
A toothache or other dental injury can be extremely painful, no matter what your age is. At Lightwood Dental, we specifically leave openings throughout our schedule each week to accommodate same day emergency appointments for both existing and new patients. When you need urgent care for a mouth injury or infection, we’re here to deliver the pain relief and dental care you deserve.
Common Dental Emergencies
From athletic injuries to accidental bumps to the mouth, a dental emergency can pop up at just about any time. Some of the most frequent ones we see are from:
What to Do During a Dental Emergency
Fractured and knocked out teeth should be carefully stored in a sealed container and covered in milk or contact solution. Adults can also tuck their tooth inside of their cheek on their way to our office, to keep it coated in saliva (just be sure to not accidentally swallow it). Do not scrub the tooth clean, as this can damage small attachments that aid in reinserting it.
Open Late and Saturdays
We know that a dental emergency happens at the most inopportune moments. That’s why we’re always ready, even if you’re caught off guard. Our extended office hours during select evenings and weekends mean we can see you outside of traditional office hours. If you’re experiencing a severe toothache or other injury, contact us straightaway.
