Emergency Dentistry
Tooth pain should never be ignored, as it often signals an underlying issue requiring professional attention. At Noranda Dental Clinic, our dentists recommend the following steps if you're experiencing tooth discomfort.
First, gently rinse your mouth with warm saltwater to help reduce inflammation and dislodge any trapped food particles that might be causing irritation. Taking over-the-counter pain relievers according to package instructions can provide temporary relief while you arrange to see us.
Apply a cold compress to your cheek in 15-minute intervals if you notice swelling. This can help minimise inflammation and provide some comfort until your appointment.
Avoid placing aspirin or other pain medications directly on your gums, as this can cause tissue damage. Similarly, steer clear of extremely hot, cold or sweet foods and beverages that might trigger or worsen your discomfort.
Contact Your Emergency Dentist in Noranda
Most importantly, contact our dental surgery promptly to schedule an examination. Dental pain rarely resolves on its own and often indicates conditions like decay, infection, cracked teeth or exposed roots that require professional treatment. Delaying care could lead to more extensive problems and potentially more complex treatment.
During your emergency appointment, our experienced team will thoroughly assess your condition, identify the source of your pain and recommend appropriate treatment options to restore your comfort and protect your oral health.
