Dental pain can reduce the strongest patient to their knees, because the pain is so concentrated and debilitating. Dental pain can change your mood and influence your whole demeanour. Knowing that you have access to an emergency dentist Dublin is a comfort and a service that will help, if and when the time comes to access it.

Try to avoid the need

Looking after your teeth has to be one of the most important medical care functions that we all need to follow. Knowing that our emergency dentist Dublin is available if you should need them is comforting, but it would be far better to adhere to simple preventive action. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and attend dental surgery at least twice a year. This regime must be one of the simplest and easiest instructions to follow to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Accidents do happen

Accidents are unfortunately a fact of life and we cannot go through life not indulging in activities including playing sports or going for walks and jogging. If you should suffer dental trauma as a result of an accident phone our emergency dentist Dublin number immediately and we will guide you through the correct course of action.

Don’t hesitate to contact us

Our emergency facility is available to you as a patient and you should never be afraid to call us, because toothache or bleeding can be a sign of something serious. If you have a sudden onset of toothache and you can feel swelling or there is bleeding, ring us immediately. If you should break, chip or dislodge a tooth, do not hesitate to get in touch with us and we will guide you through the correct procedure to follow. Losing a filling or a crown can result in infection, once again we are here to help you, so phone us immediately. If you should be unfortunate enough to break an orthodontic appliance you must get in touch without delay. Infections of the mouth that result in an abscess also require emergency treatment because infection can spread and cause severe illness.

Take basic precautions

To avoid damaging your teeth you should take some basic precautions. When playing sport, especially a contact sport, invest in a gumshield to offer some protection to your mouth. Try to avoid biting into very hard boiled sweets, because no matter how well looked after your teeth are, hard sugar can cause severe damage to your teeth. Some of us develop some bad habits and chew on things other than food. Avoid chewing your nails or the top of a pen or opening a beer bottle with your teeth. You only get one set of adult teeth, why put them at risk by doing something unnecessarily reckless and irresponsible.

When you need us most

Our dedicated team will try to see you and attend to your emergency on the day of the event from Monday to Friday. During weekends we will have someone available to advise you on the best course of action to attend to your emergency.
