Emergency! Emergency!

You never know when you are going to need an emergency dentist, so it’s a good idea to be prepared, especially, if like most Australians, you like to get out and enjoy our wonderful country.

If you’re a surfer or a cyclist, a skateboarder or a rollerblader, or if you enjoy contact sports, there is always the chance that you will have an accident and suddenly need the services of the emergency dentist in Mackay.

At Northern Beaches Dental in Mackay, we operate as an emergency dentist. This means that you can call us up when you are in trouble, if you have had an accident or have been developing a severe toothache over the last few days.

The first step to using the emergency dentist in Mackay is to be able to get hold of us wherever you are, so put our number in your phone. You can store it under ‘emergency dentist in Mackay’. This way, if you have had an accident and someone else is using your phone for you, you don’t need to remember the name of the practice.

Knocked out teeth

There is a good chance we can re-implant knocked out teeth if you can bring them to us within a couple of hours of your accident. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and either store it in your mouth or in a pot of milk. Never store it in tap water or let it dry out, as this will kill it.

What to expect

Whether you have lost a tooth or have a terrible toothache, when you come to the emergency dentist in Mackay, our first step will be to numb the pain. Then we will sterilise and clean the area before going on to thoroughly examine it.

We will try to put any knocked out teeth back in place, and if this can’t be done, we will discuss replacement options with you.

We will treat any toothaches, such as draining abscesses. We may need to carry out root canal treatment, or even extractions.

Don’t delay, store our number today.
