Sherwood Dental is your caring emergency dentist in Brisbane. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please do not hesitate to contact us. Over the counter painkillers (for example paracetamol or ibuprofen) can help to manage symptoms for a short time. Do check with your doctor or pharmacist first, if you are on other medications.
For after-hours emergencies, try searching for a public clinic (eligibility criteria apply). People with pain and infection can see a GP first, who may be able to prescribe antibiotics and painkillers if required. If you have severe pain or infection can also present at a private or public hospital for emergency dental care.
If your crown or bridge comes off, you can try pressing it back on with your fingers – it may still on for a little while. Avoid eating on it, altogether. Please DON’T use any adhesives though, as it will damage both the tooth and the crown or bridge. Superglue, especially, is the one of the worst things – the results can be disastrous! It’s important to keep your crown or bridge safe, clean and dry, and have it rebonded by a dental professional as soon as possible.
Sometimes a crown or bridge just de-bonds (becomes unstuck from the tooth), and it’s a simple process to re-bond it (20-30 minutes). Sometimes the top part of tooth breaks off inside the crown or bridge – this is not as straightforward, unfortunately, and we may need a longer appointment. Speak with one of our team to find out more.
