Emergency Dental Care
Greenbank Family Dental
When dental pain or injury strikes, you need fast and reliable care. At Greenbank Family Dental, we understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time and should never be ignored. Left untreated, a dental emergency can quickly worsen, leading to greater discomfort and potential long-term damage.
While our clinic is often booked weeks in advance, we prioritise dental emergencies and do everything we can to see patients as quickly as possible. Our caring and experienced team will always find the soonest available time to relieve your pain and protect your oral health. Whether you’re dealing with a severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a dental injury, we’ll work with you to get urgent care without unnecessary delays.
What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue involving your teeth, gums, or jaw that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or save a tooth. You should seek urgent dental care if you have:
-
A severe or persistent toothache (even dull pain can indicate a serious problem).
-
A chipped, cracked, or knocked-out tooth.
-
Injuries to your mouth, jaw, or gums from sports, accidents, or falls.
-
Swollen or inflamed gums, which may signal infection or abscess.
-
Pain in the jaw or facial muscles from teeth grinding or clenching.
Time is critical. The sooner we treat the problem, the better the outcome.
How We Handle Dental Emergencies
We strive to keep priority appointments available every day to ensure we can see you when you need us most. When you arrive for an emergency visit, our team will:
-
Assess and relieve pain – We’ll quickly examine the affected area and provide immediate pain relief.
-
Take digital x-rays – These allow us to accurately diagnose the issue and plan treatment.
-
Stabilise or treat the problem – Whether you need a quick filling, root canal treatment, or an emergency tooth extraction, we act fast to protect your oral health.
-
Plan follow-up care – For complex cases, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure long-term success.
