It can be terrifying. You may well be suffering with shock, but with a knocked-out tooth, it’s essential that we act quickly if we hope to save the tooth. So, phone us, or ask a family member or friend to call us to see the emergency dentist.
If you have saved the knocked-out tooth, it’s important that you pick it up only by the crown and not by the roots. Do not clean or over handle the tooth, instead, prevent the tooth from drying out by keeping it safe in a cup of cold milk or inside your mouth.[/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Toothache” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ image_icon_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”30px” content_max_width_tablet=”100%” content_max_width_phone=”100%” content_max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”|600|||||||” header_font_size=”20px” body_font=”|300|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]Relentless toothache can be painful and exhausting.

If you’re crown is loose, and it’s causing you pain or feels very sensitive then you will need to phone Trinity Dental for an emergency dental appointment.
Take paracetamol for the pain whilst you wait to see the emergency dentist. At your emergency dental appointment, your dentist will assess the damage to your tooth. They may replace the crown at that appointment, or depending on the level of damage, the emergency dentist may repair the crown using bonding materials. If a new crown is needed, you may need another appointment to create your bespoke crown.[/et_pb_blurb][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”794ae739-5091-4a62-b212-5d793287965c” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”15cedb20-15f4-4824-982d-3f3846cf9a54″ width=”90%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Frequently asked questions about dental emergencies ” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”370c4f09-bdc9-49a6-b914-6a7c05f90ddc” header_2_font=”Poppins|300|||||||” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-0a8178fa-24b8-4b9f-86db-0d369139ecbc%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22,%22header_2_text_color%22%93,%22gcid-4505ab31-3de4-4406-b3d8-5f94536ebaf0%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22%93}”]

Any other pain relating to your mouth, teeth or gums can be dealt with by an emergency dentist.[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Why is my toothache worse at night?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]When we lie down to go to sleep, blood flows to the head and therefore the teeth which means you may feel more pain. You may also notice toothache more at night because you are less distracted by work and the busyness of the day. Finally, some people grind their teeth at night, and this can enhance the pain if you’re suffering with toothache.[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Do I have a sinus infection or a dental abscess?” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]A sinus infection usually has a constant, dull pain and the pain may get worse when you move your head sideways or up and down. If you are suffering with an abscessed tooth, you are more likely to feel a sharp pain which increases in intensity. If you were to touch a tooth with an abscess, you are likely to have a sharp jolt of pain.[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What to do if you lose a tooth:” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_padding=”|0px||0px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]
- Only pick the tooth up by the crown (the white, top section).
- Avoid touching the root.
- If the tooth is dirty, rinse it for no more than 10 seconds under cold, running water.
- Put the tooth back in the socket if possible. Bite down on a piece of clean material to keep it in place. If you can’t put it back in the socket, keep the tooth in your mouth between your cheeks and teeth, or place it in a container and cover it with milk.
