A dental emergency can mean many things, but anytime you have oral pain, swelling or if your smile health is at risk, we consider it a dental emergency.
Dental emergencies can be frightening, especially when you don’t know what to do or where to turn. Fortunately, the team at CFS Dental is here to see you through, offering fast appointments and gentle care.
About Dental Emergencies
The most common dental emergency is probably the toothache. In many cases, a toothache means a tooth root infection. These are easily treatable with gentle root canal therapy.
Other potential dental emergencies include wisdom tooth infections or pain. When wisdom teeth fail to erupt correctly (usually due to space limitations), you risk an infection. Your emergency dentist in Oatley can assess the tooth for treatment or potential extraction.
Some emergencies are due to injuries or broken teeth and restorations. A small chip in the tooth (or restoration) can often wait until the next available appointment.
However, if you’re in pain, we want to hear from you immediately. A helpful team member can assess your symptoms and provide immediate guidance.
