Emergency Dental Care in Townsville

At our clinic, we understand that emergencies arise, and we need to treat you immediately.

If any patient has suffered a traumatic incident, such as an avulsed tooth (a tooth knocked out), a dental abscess, facial swelling, or even a fractured tooth, we will see you the same day and help you through your dental emergency. If you need same-day emergency dental care, we’re here to help you!

Our Dental Emergency Treatment

Casey Dental team provides immediate treatment for patients who require emergency dental procedures. Our team is trained to handle complex dental cases and to ensure you receive the treatment you require. In our practice, our dental team has a wealth of experience in emergency treatment and is able to give you urgent assistance when you need it.

Subsequently, definitive treatment can be provided, a referral can be obtained, or ideally a full mouth examination and case presentation can be arranged where our treatment co-ordinator can discuss your options and secure your dental health for the long term.

What should I do if I have a Dental Emergency?

The first thing to determine is the urgency of the emergency. If you have an intense toothache, swelling, an injured jaw, a knocked-out permanent tooth, or oral bleeding that won’t stop, it is important to seek urgent dental care right away. To reduce pain or swelling, you can make a warm mouthwash with salt and hot water and use a cold compress.

If you’ve lost a filling, cracked a tooth, or damaged a retainer or night guard, this is considered a non-urgent dental emergency. Keep knocked-out teeth moist with milk or a tooth preservation product and contact your dental team.

Preventing Dental Emergencies
