Dental Emergency

Emergency dental situations? At Chapel Gate Dental, in an effort to better serve you, we endeavor to treat your dental emergencies the same day that you call. In order to achieve this, we keep appointments available every day just for patients requiring emergency treatment. Our St Kilda practice is equipped to handle any emergency treatment.

What to Do In Case Of Dental Emergencies before Seeing Us?

• For toothaches, rinse the mouth with warm water to clean it out. If the pain persists for a longer time, you must see the dentist.
• For chipped and broken tooth, apply gauze to the area until bleeding stops. Apply a cold compress to relieve pain and swelling.
• For a knocked out tooth, never force the tooth back into its socket. Rather, keep it in water or milk until you visit the dentist.
• When objects caught between the teeth, try dental floss. If you can’t remove the object, visit the dentists as quickly as possible.
• For soft-tissue injuries, rinse with a mild water solution to soothe out lips, tongue, gums, and cheeks.
