Emergency Dentistry

Accidents and unexpected incidents can happen anytime. Sometimes, sharp pain can arise. Pain can originate from a single tooth, several teeth or surrounding tissues. Typical dental emergencies include:

Toothache
Cracked/chipped tooth
Knocked out tooth
Broken/lost fillings
Wisdom tooth pain
Facial swelling
Dental trauma/bleeding
Infection/Abscess

What causes toothaches?

Tooth decay – if bacteria in plaque erodes the enamel surface of your tooth, this can expose the sensitive nerve endings within the underlying tooth structure (dentine) and can continue to infiltrate into the centre of the tooth reaching the pulp
Gum disease – if plaque remains beneath the gum, it can damage the bone that supports your teeth and the roots of your teeth as well. This causes teeth to loosen and ache
Abscesses – tooth decay and gum disease can cause an abscess to form below or alongside the tooth root, which causes pain and spreads infection
Trauma – if your tooth gets chipped or cracked, this can also expose the pulp and put you at risk of infection.
Impaction – if a tooth doesn’t emerge fully from the gums, it can irritate the surrounding nerves, causing pain. This is most common with wisdom teeth and other molars
Bruxism (teeth grinding) – if you grind your teeth at night or during the day, this causes the teeth to wear down over time exposing the sensitive middle layers of teeth. Grinding can also strain the surrounding supporting structures such as jaw muscles and jaw joint
Misaligned teeth – if your teeth are crooked or not properly aligned, this can cause uneven pressure in the mouth and may require orthodontic treatment

The most important step is to see your dentist as soon as possible, we will take an x-ray to determine the reasons for your toothache and make a plan for treating the tooth.

Lovely friendly practise and amazingly professional service. I’m lucky to live close by but would travel the distance to get the quality service Dr. Linda and the team provides. I honestly feel like I’m treating myself when I go for my appointments :) Thank you Lumina Dental for my beautiful healthy smile!

I was wondering how it is possible of a dentist to have straight 5 star ratings, until I was experiencing myself how dr. Linda dealt with patients. She even asked sorry for my own tooth pain that I felt that's not her mistake at all. I think about doctors that work to respect and treat patient with dignity, dr. Linda is one of them. Definitely very happy and will recommend to my friends who need dentist!
