Common Dental Emergencies

The Throbbing Toothache

This unwelcome guest is the party pooper of the dental world. A throbbing toothache can make even the most delicious pavlova taste like cardboard. The good news? It doesn’t have to ruin your night!

Painkillers, your temporary BFF: Over-the-counter heroes like paracetamol or ibuprofen can be your first defence against the ouch. Remember, these are pain relievers, not miracle cures, so don’t ditch the dentist appointment!
Warm salt water rinse: This age-old remedy is a gentle warrior against inflammation. Dissolve a teaspoon of salt in warm water and swish it around your mouth for a soothing effect.
Ice, ice baby: Apply a cold compress to your cheek near the aching tooth. The coolness can help numb the pain and reduce swelling.

The Chipped Tooth:

Chips happen, especially when celebrating with gusto. Whether it’s a celebratory clinking gone wrong or a rogue olive pit, a chipped tooth can be a bummer. But fret not; it’s not a party foul!

Save the shard! Collect the broken piece carefully (avoid touching the root) and store it in milk or saliva to keep it hydrated. This gives the dentist a better chance of reattaching it.
Avoid the chomping zone: Avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage. Stick to soft foods and be gentle with your pearly whites.

The Gum Infection:

This uninvited guest loves to crash festive feasts, causing redness and swelling and potentially ruining your celebratory gumbo. But don’t let it dampen your spirits!

Warm salt water, your new best friend: Rinse your mouth frequently with warm water with salt to keep the area clean and reduce inflammation.
Avoid hot and spicy foods: They irritate your tender gums, so stick to cool and soothing options.
