Common Causes of Dental Pain
Dental pain can arise from various issues, ranging from minor to severe. Common problems include a chipped tooth, broken tooth, cracked tooth, broken filling, or sharp tooth edges. More serious cases might involve a dental abscess, infection, wisdom tooth pain, gum infections, or injuries from trauma to the face or head. Whatever the cause, our emergency dental services are designed to quickly address the problem and alleviate discomfort.
What happens when you have dental pain?
At Birchgrove Dental, we understand how distressing dental pain can be. Our entire dental team, including dentists, nurses, and receptionists, empathise with our patients because we’ve all experienced dental pain at some point.
During an emergency dental appointment, our private dentists, Dr. Craig Lewis or Dr. Marco Yang, will take a thorough history of your issue and may conduct special tests, including dental X-rays, to assess your condition. Treatment options could include:
- Dressing or refilling teeth
- Smoothing sharp edges
- Prescribing antibiotics for severe infections
- Placing a sedative dressing
- Tooth extraction in extreme cases
Our priority is to provide emergency dental care in a relaxed and professional environment, ensuring procedures are as pain-free as possible.
