Dental emergencies and traumatic injuries can be distressing and worrisome. Dental emergencies can happen to anyone; from young children to even older adults.

It is important to be able to recognise and identify a dental emergency and to know what can or should be done. Dental emergencies that require immediate attention:
What should you do during a dental emergency?Traumatic injuries with dental involvement:Severe Injuries (e.g. road traffic accident / industrial or workplace accidents) sustained should be seen by the hospital’s accident and emergency (A&E) department immediately. Patients should also be seen immediately by the hospital’s A&E department for localised traumatic injuries (e.g. accidental falls / sports’ injury) of the oral region (e.g. lips / tongue / inner cheeks / gums / teeth) should the injury occur outside of normal operating hours. Injuries that involve teeth:For tooth fracture, try to locate the fractured fragment (if possible) and place the fragment in salt water / saline. Consult your dentist as soon as possible. You can make an appointment online or contact a dental clinic near you. We have 12 dental clinics located islandwide. A tooth completely knocked out (avulsion) during trauma has the best chance of being saved if it is replanted back immediately or soon after the injury. Teeth that have been replanted within 30 minutes from the time of injury have a better chance of being saved 1. An avulsed deciduous (baby) tooth should never be replanted back. 1 American Association of Endodontists article here. Source: International Association of Dental Traumatology, DENTAL TRAUMA, Revised 2012 GUIDELINES Severe swelling / pain of dental causes (eg. toothache / dislocated jaw):Swelling / pain may be managed with appropriate analgesics (painkillers) and antibiotics. Applying a cold compress around the affect area can also help to reduce the swelling. If the swelling / pain causes breathing difficulties, seek medical attention immediately. Uncontrolled / excessive bleeding from the mouth:Attempt to reduce bleeding by applying firm and direct pressure over the bleeding site. If bleeding is severe and uncontrolled, seek medical attention immediately. When a ‘dental emergency’ can wait…Not all toothaches require immediate treatment. Most toothaches can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers and can be seen the next day at a dental clinic during normal operating hours. Painkillers (e.g. aspirin) should never be placed against the gums of the offending tooth as it may cause gum tissues to be burnt. Insurance
