  1. Common Dental Emergency Identification and Immediate Actions www.usmiledentalclub.com.au

  2. Severe Toothache Cause: Severe toothaches can be caused by tooth decay, infections, or trauma. Action: Rinse your mouth with warm water, use dental floss to remove any food particles, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Avoid taking aspirin directly on the gum as it can cause tissue damage. Seek emergency dental care immediately. www.usmiledentalclub.com.au

  3. Broken or Chipped Teeth Cause: Biting down on something hard, trauma, or accident can result in broken or chipped teeth. Action: Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any pieces of the tooth. Apply a piece of gauze to stop bleeding and a cold compress to minimize swelling. Contact your dentist right away. www.usmiledentalclub.com.au

  4. Knocked-Out Tooth Cause: Knocked-out teeth often result from accidents or sports injuries. Action: Hold the tooth by the crown (the part you chew with) and rinse it gently without scrubbing. If this isn’t possible, store the tooth in a milk or saline solution container. Visit an emergency dentist within 30 minutes to maximize the chances of saving the tooth. www.usmiledentalclub.com.au

  5. Lost Filling or Crown Cause: Fillings or crowns can become loose or fall out due to decay or biting hard foods. Action: Keep the crown or filling safe and rinse your mouth with warm water. Use dental cement (available at most pharmacies) to temporarily reattach the crown. See your dentist as soon as possible to permanently fix the issue. www.usmiledentalclub.com.au

  6. Abscess Cause: An abscess is a pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection, often resulting from untreated cavities or gum disease. Action: Rinse your mouth with mild salt water to help ease the pain and draw the pus to the surface. Avoid pressing on the abscess. Seek emergency dental care immediately, as abscesses can lead to serious infections. www.usmiledentalclub.com.au
