Dental Emergencies Don't Have to Be Stressful!
Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies are inconvenient, stressful, and sometimes painful. Your team at Universal Smiles Dental understands that during a dental emergency in Mernda, the thing you need most is prompt relief.
Dr Malik and his team are committed to helping emergency patients receive the dental care they need to bring relief and peace of mind.
That’s why Universal Smiles Dental offers morning, evening, and Saturday appointments to fit your schedule. We also provide after-hours care to help with those inconvenient emergencies outside normal business hours.
Dental Emergencies We Handle
At Universal Smiles Dental, we’re well-equipped to handle your family’s dental emergencies, and we recommend that patients contact us before heading to a hospital. A hospital may not be able to handle tooth emergencies, and we can assess your situation over the phone and guide your next steps.
Some common dental emergencies we help patients with are:
- Broken or lost restorations, such as crowns or fillings
- Toothaches, infections or abscesses
- Knocked out (avulsed) teeth
- Facial pain or swelling
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Soft tissue bleeding or injuries
What to Do If You Have a Tooth Emergency
The first step in an emergency is to remain calm because you have a team you can rely on at Universal Smiles Dental.
Next, contact us right away. If it’s after regular business hours, we’ll have instructions on how you can speak with an on-call team member, and we’ll provide some instructions and guidelines to follow until we can see you.
How You Can Avoid Some Dental Emergencies
While some tooth emergencies stem from trauma or an accident, there are other times when an emergency can be prevented.
With routine preventive teeth cleans and checks, Dr Malik can spot potential problems like tooth decay and gum disease before they become more significant concerns.
When you’re aware of a potential problem early on, you have more treatment options. For example, If we detect early decay in your tooth, you can likely treat it and eliminate the problem with a dental filling.
On the other hand, if that tooth decay is not diagnosed or left untreated, it will progress further into your tooth, which may eventually cause an infection. A tooth infection left untreated can result in further damage and even tooth loss.
We want you to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible, and consistent preventive teeth cleans and exams are the best way to protect your smile from potential problems.
