Treatment Options For A Dental Injury

The treatment option that our dentist recommends will depend on your individual dental emergency. Some common emergency dental treatments include:

  • Emergency Treatment For a Lost Tooth
    If you have lost or loosened a tooth, our dentist will first take a dental x-ray to assess the severity of the injury. Our dentist will also check whether the tooth can be re-fixed and will also check your mouth to ensure that there are no pieces of broken tooth lodged in your mouth or gums.
  • Emergency Treatment For a Chipped Tooth
    Treatment for a chipped tooth will usually involve building up the tooth with a filling. A chipped tooth may also require a root canal treatment and/or a crown.
  • Emergency Treatment for a Toothache
    If you are experiencing a toothache, it is essential that you visit our dentist as soon as possible. Our dentist will take steps to assess the cause of the pain and take the appropriate steps to resolve it.
