Emergency Dentist

A broken or loose tooth, abscess, or other issues can leave you in serious pain and extreme discomfort. Worst of all, if left untreated further damage can occur.

Common Causes of Dental Pain

Tooth infections

The most common cause of dental pain is bacterial attack to the nerve inside the centre of the tooth. This can be caused by untreated tooth decay, trauma, cracked or broken teeth, or gum infections.

This pain is often described as “excruciating” during the late stages of infection and can come quickly without warning.

While over-the-counter pain relief can help in the early stages of tooth ache, once the tooth becomes “reactive to hot and relieved by cold” pain relief can only be achieved by a dentist providing treatment or intervention.

Facial swelling and difficulties with achieving anaesthesia can occur if an infection goes untreated for too long, so call us as early as possible.

Gum infections

Pain originating from the gum is usually caused by either a gum infection or food trapped between teeth. Pain of this origin tends to be less aggressive and can sometimes be relieved by things like flossing or gargling with mouthwash (as it dislodges the food trapping or reduces bacterial levels in the gum). However, until the infection causing bacteria is fully removed from the gum, the pain will return or persist. Common signs which accompany this type of pain are bleeding gums whilst brushing and flossing or bad breath.

Dental Trauma

Pain from oral soft tissue such as the cheek, lip or the tongue is commonly caused by trauma. Facial injuries, biting, chemical irritation or burns (e.g., hot coffee or tea) frequently cause sore tissues. Ulcers and other viral infections can also create soft tissue irritation, which can be very painful.

This type of pain is usually described as short/sharp and only on contact.

Unfortunately, some nasty soft tissue growths like oral cancers can mimic ulcers and other sores, so soft tissue injuries that do not heal within 10 days should always be examined by a dentist.

Pain relief for soft tissues is usually achieved by avoiding the area, or using a topical gel to provide temporary relief e.g. Oracort, Bonjela.

Emergency Dentist Brisbane

Pain originating from the tooth/bone is usually caused by bacterial attack to the nerve which sits inside the centre of the tooth. This pain is often described as “excruciating” during the late stages of infection, and can come quickly without warning.Depending on the progression of the infection, this pain may be subdued by Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatories (Nurofen, Brufen) at its early stages. However, once the tooth becomes “reactive to hot and relieved by cold”, contact a dentist immediately. By this stage, the pain is capable of waking one from their sleep and oral pain relief tablets generally will not work.At this stage, the only effective pain relief is to remove the nerve from within the tooth and drain the infection directly. Alternatively, the tooth can be removed as well. Facial swelling and difficulties with achieving anaesthesia can occur as a result of leaving the infection untreated for too long. Regular check-ups can help avoid situations such as this.

Pain originating from the gum is usually caused by either a gum infection or food trapped between teeth with poor contact. Pain of this origin tends to be less aggressive and relieved by things like gargling with mouthwash (as it usually dislodges the food trapping/reduce bacterial count in the gum). However, until the bacterial is fully removed from the gum, the pain will persist. Common signs which accompany this type of pain are bleeding gums whilst brushing and flossing or bad breath.

Pain from oral soft tissue such as the cheek, lip or the tongue is most commonly caused by some kind of trauma. The trauma can range from a direct bite all the way down or chemical (e.g. hot coffee or tea). This type of pain is usually of a much lower grade and is described as short/sharp and only on contact.The hall mark of this type of pain is that is should normally resolve itself in 1-2 weeks as the area heals over time. Pain relief is usually by simply avoiding the area although it is possible to get a topical gel to provide temporary relief to the area for a short period of time e.g. Oracort, Bonjela.

At Grange Family Dental, we will always attend to people who are in pain ASAP. This means from the moment we receive your call, we will usually attend to you either on the same day or at least within 1 working day.

Emergency Dental FAQ

A dental emergency arises when you have any dental problem that requires immediate attention. This may include treatment to stop bleeding, treatment to alleviate severe pain or save a tooth that’s been knocked out or come loose.

Common dental emergencies include:

  • Having a tooth knocked out
  • Having a tooth come loose
  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Uncontrollable bleeding
  • Severe toothache
  • Signs of infection
  • Abscesses

If you are experiencing any of these, you should call us on (07) 3356 0166 straight away

First and foremost, call us immediately on (07) 33560166 and state clearly that a tooth has been knocked loose. We will do our best to attend to you immediately, or on the day of the accident as sometimes this can help avoid long term complications.

If a baby tooth is lost, we would generally advise not to place the tooth back in the child’s mouth but still to bring it in so we can be sure no fragments of the tooth are lodged in the soft tissue. If you are unsure whether the tooth is a baby or adult tooth, bring it to us in a clean container or plastic bag. Do not wash the tooth.

For an adult tooth that has been loosened, moved, or “knocked out”, it is essential you call us immediately. In this instance, time is essential to the long-term survival of the tooth.

If the tooth is completely knocked out, do not rinse the tooth in water. Preferably the tooth should be stored in a clean container or plastic bag, soaked in saliva, saline, or even milk. If in doubt do not clean the tooth and simply place it in the bag.

Avoid touching the surface as much as possible but do try to remove any visible dirt on the tooth. If there are no containers, and you are comfortable to do so, place the tooth back in the mouth and carry it under the tongue, being careful not to swallow it accidentally until you reach the surgery.

We may be able to reposition the tooth in its socket and stabilise it for the short term. We can then discuss treatment options, and what can be expected in the future.

Jeremy and the crew at Grange Family Dental are angels that perform magic. Sensible advice on managing my aging teeth, many of whom are showing signs of wear. Strategies to save them have been implemented efficiently and with minimal discomfort (I’m a wooss, so pain management is crucial). I’ve recently had both emergency and preventative treatment which was carried out quickly and professionally. Highly recommend these miracle workers.read more

A big thank you to Jeremy and the team! I had to have an impacted wisdom tooth removed a week ago and it was as pleasant as it could be. Jeremy told me what he was going to do both before and during the procedure ensuring I was numbed and comfortable. I was given all the information I needed for post care and what to expect. I just had my stitches removed and once again a smooth appointment. This is my third visit over all and each have been a welcoming and pleasant experience. I will only be seeing the team at Grange Family Dental from here on out. Thanks again!read more

Grange Family Dental has the best dentists and the team!I have been visiting and getting various treatments ( including tooth extraction, teeth cleaning, root canal treatment , crown etc.) about three years. I contacted other dentists before, and they weren’t transparent with the procedures, timeline, and additional costs, however, Grange Family receptionists and dentists were very informative, clear and responsive with our questions. Their experience removed my dental operation concerns and worries!Also, the office is always clean & hygienic and has up to date equipment with the recent technology.Dr. Jeremy Lam is always cheerful, calming and has a great knowledge of dental health and techniques! I’d strongly recommend Grange Family dentists for anyone who needs a regular dentist spot and a treatment plan!read more

We have all been going here since we moved to Brisbane 8 years ago. They are absolutely fantastic with kids and have looked after my son from when he was a toddler until present day. It doesn’t matter which dentist we’ve seen. They have all been brilliant. The girls behind the desk are always amazing and help with any health fund issues etc…On Monday I had to get a root canal, which I’ve been putting off for years due to how awful my experience had been at a specialist dentist in the city many years ago. Dr Jeremy put me at ease with his wonderful sense of humour and calm nature and before I knew it, it was over! NO pain, quick procedure and within a day or two I couldn’t even tell I’d had anything done. Absolutely first class. Cannot recommended this practice highly enough.read more

I was referred to a specialist for a root canal retreatment. I had to wait for 4 months for an appointment. My friend recommended me Dr Lam and I got an appointment to see him in a month. I am so impressed with his expertise, patience, and the way he makes patients at ease. I highly recommend him but at the same time, I don't want him to be booked out😁.read more

I left my last dentist 3 years ago, and have become a patient of Dr Jeremy Lam at Grange Family Dental. What a difference. I have not seen a medical practise that is so friendly & professional - from the reception staff, the hygienist, nurses & of course the dentists. They obviously have long ongoing relationships with their client base, and they know how to achieve this. Jeremy has given me excellent care, & I have been able to have all my extensive dental work performed in their one stop shop. This includes my crowns, and dental implants which have been problem free. He has a plan that he discusses in detail with you, so you can be confident in both the costs, care, and outcome. This is easily the best dental practise around, & I am thrilled with their service. Recommended to everyone I know, who will soon become patients as wellread more

Went to Albert at Grange Family Dental and had an excellent experience. Haven’t been to a dentist in over a decade. Albert took the time to go over X-rays and photos of my teeth and proceeded to give a thorough clean even though I knew this appointment would have taken much longer than expected. Inspires confidence and calm. Will certainly be back.read more
