Dental Emergencies in McKennell Dental Practice
Managing dental accidents well!
Dental Emergencies—an Overview
Accidents happen unannounced and dental accidents are no different. They tend to happen at odd hours, creating serious pain, anxiety, and confusion. Some dental emergencies can quickly become life-threatening if not treated. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, bleeding from the extraction socket, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth, prompt treatment can make all the difference. Dental emergencies in McKennell Dental Practice—Smile 4 U offer a team of compassionate dentists who respond to dental emergencies quickly and compassionately. We can help you resolve your emergency difficulties fast while staying healthy.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is described as any condition that affects your teeth, gums, or mouth that necessitates immediate treatment to relieve discomfort, prevent further damage, or save a tooth.
Types of Dental Emergencies and Ways to Handle Them
Toothaches: Do you have sharp-shooting tooth pain? We numb the area first, then clean the afflicted tooth sections to relieve discomfort within minutes. Topical ointments are commonly used as a local therapy for severe gum pain.
Cracked teeth: Cracked teeth can irritate the mouth due to their sharp edges. We soften the edges and make subsequent appointments for dental bonding, fillings, veneers, or crowns as necessary.
Avulsed or a popped-out tooth: If you lose a tooth, act fast! Place the popped-out tooth in cold milk, avoiding contact with the root, and return it to us within 60 minutes. Prompt action improves the chances of successful replantation of the native tooth.
Wobbly crowns and broken fillings: We clean the cavity and repair the filling. We frequently lose crowns that are not damaged.
Large swellings and infection: These need early treatment to prevent the infection from spreading. We treat the infection by draining it, cleaning the damaged tissues, and prescribing medicine as necessary.
We regularly provide dental emergency treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.

What Our Patients Say
I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.
Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.
