Common Dental Emergencies
Here’s a look at some common dental emergencies that require prompt attention from an emergency dentist in Sydney:
Severe Toothache
A sudden and persistent toothache can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a cavity, infection, or cracked tooth. Ignoring a toothache can lead to further complications, so seeking professional help from your emergency dentist is crucial.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
A broken or chipped tooth can be a result of an accident, fall, or biting down on something hard. Depending on the severity of the damage, immediate dental attention might be necessary to prevent further breakage or infection.
Lost or Knocked-Out Tooth
A permanent tooth that’s been knocked out requires immediate attention. The sooner you see a dentist, the higher the chances of successfully re-implanting the tooth.

Dental Abscess
A dental abscess is a painful infection at the root of a tooth. Symptoms like swelling, redness, and throbbing pain indicate an abscess, requiring prompt antibiotic treatment and potentially tooth extraction.
Lost or Damaged Filling
A lost or damaged filling can expose the sensitive dentin layer of your tooth, causing pain and increasing your risk of infection. Seeing an emergency dentist to replace the filling promptly is recommended.
