What To Do If
Your Tooth Fell Out
Trauma is when an accident has caused significant damage to the teeth and/or soft tissues of the mouth and lips. Trauma requires immediate care to avoid potential long-term damage to the teeth and stop any possible bleeding or further damage to the soft tissues. If you live in Fairfield, we are easily accessible by car to ensure you get the trauma care you need quickly.
If you have swelling from trauma, it is recommended to gently place an ice pack on the area. Alternate using the icepack in intervals of 20 minutes. Please visit your nearest hospital or call 000 (triple zero) if you are experiencing any dizziness, vomiting, nausea, head/body injuries, blurry vision or fatigue.
If the trauma does not involve anything life-threatening or does not require hospitalisation, we would do an examination and diagnose and assess your condition, stabilise it, and then discuss options from there.

What To Do If You Have A Broken Tooth Or Broken Filling?
Due to nerve exposure, a broken tooth can cause a lot of pain. In order to ease the pain, it needs to be treated as soon as possible.
Some broken teeth do not cause pain but may still require urgent dental care to avoid further damage, infection, or potential distress. If you live in Fairfield and have broken your tooth, our experienced staff at Dentists in Annerley are conveniently located and ready to help.
Unfortunately, there is generally nothing that can be done to help assist a broken tooth at home. We do not recommend using any home materials to blunt out sharp edges and do not try to fill the break with any objects or materials at home. Doing so can further damage the tooth and make fixing the break more difficult.
Eating on the other side of your mouth is recommended to avoid further damage. Keep the area clean by while rinsing with salt water.
Facial Swelling
In the event that you have swelling of the face, eyes or throat, it is extremely important that you seek immediate medical attention (please call 000 immediately), as in extreme cases, significant swelling can cause closure of the throat and difficulty breathing. Facial swelling may be caused by an infection and may require antibiotics and additional treatment at the time of appointment.
Tooth Aches & Wisdom Tooth Pain
Toothaches can cause a substantial amount of pain and require urgent dental care. A toothache can be caused by many things, including decay, broken teeth, infection, wisdom teeth, grinding and much more. It is difficult to understand the reason for a toothache without first examining the tooth. At this appointment, we can give you further details regarding your options.
Wisdom teeth are a well-known culprit for causing tooth and jaw pain. It is something that most people will have to face at one point in their life.Your wisdom teeth may sit in very close proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and may require special surgery for removal. We can examine this with a special OPG radiograph or a CBCT (3D) scan. We will let you know if this is something that will be required before removal.
Our Fairfield dentists are trusted experts in the removal of wisdom teeth.
