Nobody likes an emergency, much less a dental emergency. At Parade Dental Ocean Grove, we reserve daily times specifically for emergency dental care in case you need us. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we are able to make arrangements to tend to your needs. We are trained to handle most dental emergencies and we do it with care and compassion.
When you notice something feels different or uncomfortable, you should have it assessed earlier rather than later. This may mean that we can resolve the issue when it is simpler and also prevent the pain from worsening.
There are many different types of emergency dental care. This can include:
- Dental trauma – damage to teeth or gums caused by impact, such as sports injuries or accidents. The ToothSOS app (on Apple App Store or Google Play Store) can be very handy for first aid measures.
- Tooth or gum pain
- Swelling or abscess
- Lost filling or crown
In some cases, it could even be unrelated to your teeth! Sinusitis, jaw joint problems (temporomandibular disorder), and nerve pain in the head and face (neuralgia) are well known to mimic tooth pain.
