Written By val truhin

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly — knowing what to do can save your smile and reduce pain. At Dental4U, we're here to help the Yarraville community with urgent dental care when you need it most.

Common Dental Emergencies

  • Knocked-out teeth

  • Severe toothache

  • Broken or chipped teeth

  • Lost fillings or crowns

  • Bleeding or injury to gums

What To Do Immediately

  1. Stay Calm and Act Fast
    Call your dentist immediately. Quick response can increase chances of saving damaged teeth.

  2. Handle Knocked-Out Teeth Carefully
    Pick up the tooth by the crown (top), avoid touching the root, and rinse gently with water. Try to place it back in the socket or keep it in milk or saliva until you reach the dentist.

  3. Manage Pain and Bleeding
    Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Use over-the-counter painkillers but avoid aspirin as it may increase bleeding.

  4. Keep the Area Clean
    Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to keep the area clean and reduce infection risk.
