What is the advice for common dental emergencies in Cardiff?
Common dental emergencies that we see in patients from Whitchurch, Pontcanna, Canton, Danescourt, Cardiff, and throughout Llandaff include:
A knocked-out tooth
If you knock out or loosen a tooth during a fall or other accident, it can be shocking. Time is of the essence with this type of dental emergency and can be the difference between saving and losing your tooth so call us as soon as you can for an emergency dental appointment.
In the meantime, don’t overhandle the knocked-out tooth and only pick it up by the crown and not the roots. Keep it either in the inside of your mouth or in a cup of cold milk and bring it with you to see the emergency dentist.
Broken crown
A broken crown can happen either through an accident or if you bite on something hard. Your tooth may feel sensitive or painful in which case you should call to see the emergency dentist.
Whilst you are waiting to see the emergency dentist you can take paracetamol. Your dentist will assess your tooth and either repair the crown or replace it completely.
Toothache
Persistent toothache can be painful. Call us to see the emergency dentist. In the meantime, you can take paracetamol for the pain and try rinsing your mouth in salty water to ease any discomfort. Avoid eating and drinking anything very hot or very cold.
