Emergency Dental Treatment For Patients Near Bray

We all know that accidents can happen when you least expect them and this is why we offer urgent dental appointments at Dublin18 Dental Care near Foxrock Village. If you have a dental emergency, contact us and we will try and see you and relieve any pain you have as quickly as possible.

Dental emergencies

Unfortunately, dental emergencies are fairly common and examples include broken and severely chipped teeth, abscesses and severe dental pain and dislodged teeth.

Often, severe dental pain is associated with injuries, which may be impossible to prevent, but if you’ve had toothache for a while and pain has been getting steadily worse, there is a good chance that you may have a decayed tooth. If you have toothache, sensitivity or you have symptoms of gum disease, such as bleeding and swollen gums, see your dentist; don’t put it off because the situation will get worse.

What to do in a dental emergency

If you have an accident, or you suffer an injury when playing sport and you need urgent dental treatment, contact the practice and the reception team will arrange an appointment for you as soon as possible.

If you have a dislodged tooth, it may be possible for us to save it if you can get to the practice fast enough. In the meantime, hold the tooth between the gum and cheek or place it in a glass of milk. Avoid touching the tooth by the root.

Preventing dental emergencies

Sometimes it is impossible to prevent injuries and accidents, but there are some things you can do to try and reduce your risk of dental injuries, including wearing a protective mouth guard when you play sport, going for regular dental check-ups and seeing your dentist if you have any symptoms, such as tooth pain or sensitivity.

 

Back To School Check Ups And Teeth Cleaning For Children At Dublin18 Dental Care Near Glenageary

You may think that your baby’s or small child’s teeth are dispensable, with a new set ready to pop into place as soon as the milk teeth are lost. However, it would be unwise to underestimate the importance of your child’s baby teeth, which can be the failure or success of their adult smile.

Why are baby teeth so important?

Baby teeth are the guideline from which your adult teeth grow. If a baby’s tooth is allowed to decay and thus is in need of removal before the tooth below is ready to grow, then the new adult tooth is apt to come through crooked. Not only that, whatever decay the milk tooth suffers it is likely that the adult tooth will also be affected. This is why regular dental check ups are so important for children and why we offer check ups and cleaning for only €60 for those under the age of 16.

What we look for during children’s dental check-ups

Depending on the age of your child we look out for a range of different problems and symptoms when checking children’s teeth. In young babies we look out for any decay or gum disease and will advise you accordingly as to the best care for your baby’s mouth. If your child has all of their teeth and is heading towards their teenage years then we will look at the placement and function of the teeth and assess whether your child is in need of orthodontic treatment.

Straight teeth not only look more attractive but also are a great deal easier to clean; meaning dental plaque and bacteria is unable to find as many hiding places from which to cause trouble. Thankfully, there is an excellent range of discreet orthodontics now available, meaning your teen needn’t suffer any embarrassment when wearing their braces.  To arrange for your child’s dental check-up please get in touch with the team at Dublin18 Dental Care near Glenageary.
