At BMB Dental Clinic, we understand that dental emergencies often occur when you least expect them. But we want our patients to know that when they experience a dental emergency, we’ll be here to help.
Whether you have a bad toothache or a knocked-out tooth, we make sure to keep some of our appointments open every day so we can accommodate you as soon as possible during business hours if you have a dental emergency.
Common dental emergencies that we've seen in our Mona Vale dental clinic include:
Both dental abscess and cellulitis involve infections that can have severe consequences if left untreated. Infections, such as cellulitis, can spread quickly and threaten the patient’s life. Please consult a dentist or medical professional immediately if you suspect an infection.
We know dealing with an emergency is scary, and we never want you to panic. So instead, stay calm and try to remember these basic guidelines for handling dental emergencies.
We’ve outlined some recommendations for dealing with dental trauma below. Please note that the information provided here is for general guidance only and is not a substitute for professional dental care. For personalised advice, contact your dentist or seek emergency dental services promptly.
Patients with a broken tooth who are missing part of the tooth should try to find the missing portion, as we can sometimes reattach it. Also, we need to find the missing teeth to ensure that the patient didn’t aspirate the piece into their lungs.
For a tooth that’s been knocked loose, check to see if it’s still attached to the gum. If it is, the patient can push it gently back into place if possible. Also, contact our clinic or another dental professional for immediate assistance.
If you’ve lost a tooth due to trauma, it’s an urgent situation. First, locate the tooth and pick it up carefully, not touching the tooth’s root. To avoid the root, you can hold it from the crown. Next, clean the tooth of all debris with a gentle milk rinse, avoiding scrubbing the tooth. Then, try placing it back in its socket in your mouth. If you can't put it back in its socket, place the tooth in milk.
You must reach a dentist as soon as possible to save the tooth. To successfully replace the tooth in its socket, it’s best for us to place it back in the socket within half an hour.
Please note that these are only suggested general guidelines for handling dental emergencies until you reach your dentist’s clinic, and they may not suit your specific situation.

Most cases of dental pain do not represent genuine “dental emergencies,” though if left untreated, the sources of even minor discomfort can come to pose serious health risks. There are, however, certain telltale signs that a person is, in fact, suffering from a genuine dental emergency, and should seek immediate dental care.
It is important to note that each case is unique, both in terms of ailment and the patient’s personal medical history. Thus, the opinion of a qualified dentist should be sought in order to determine the appropriate course of action.
