If you have a dental problem but are not sure if you need to be seen urgently check out our list of common dental problems to see if you can get an answer to your question.
We would generally advise its ok to leave this until the clinic re-opens. We recommend you contact us or your own dentist to register for a priority appointment.
If the pain is mild and/or reacting to hot or cold for a few seconds you may have exposed the dentine layer. This layer sits beneath the enamel layer and is responsible for a lot of tooth sensitivity.
We would recommend you try and keep the area clean using a sensitive toothpaste if you have one. If it is extremely uncomfortable and you cannot see a dentist then you could consider placing a temporary filling using temporary filling kit.
Its not easy to do this at home yourself and we would only recommend you try this if you can access the tooth well and keep it dry. The easiest option is to keep it clean with a sensitive toothpaste and try to avoid hot or cold foods in that area until you can be seen.

Sometimes when the tooth breaks the broken part will stay attached to your gum. If this is the case and its very sore, we recommend you try to be seen as soon as possible.
Please make sure you contact us or your dentist to book a priority appointment.
If the crown is still on your tooth but is loose, please do not force it off or you may risk damaging the tooth or filling beneath the crown. You can try wiggling the crown gently to see if it will dislodge. If you can remove it, please store it safely until you can be seen.
Keep the area clean and try not to chew anything too hard on this side. If its mildly sensitive, try using a de-sensitising toothpaste if you have one.
If the sensitivity is more severe you could consider covering the tooth with a temporary filling material from a temporary filling kit. Your tooth will need to be clean and dry for this to stick.
Be careful not to place too much material on the top of the tooth as it may interfere with your bite. If your crown is still on the tooth but loose and you can’t gently dislodge then you will have to leave it in place being careful not to eat to vigorously on this side so you don’t swallow the crown.
It may start to loosen more so you can gently remove it. Please contact our clinic or your dentist to register for a priority appointment.
Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation and this is usually caused by a build up of bacterial plaque. You may also find that your gums bleed more when you are feeling unwell or rundown or pregnant.
Its important that despite the bleeding you continue to clean your teeth as well as you can for 2 minutes and use either floss or small brushes between your teeth as well. We only recommend mouthwash if your gums are very inflamed and/or painful.
Mouthwash is not a substitute for good oral hygiene so please make sure you are cleaning as well as you can with your toothbrush and floss.
If the gum inflammation is causing you to take pain relief or making your teeth hurt, we recommend booking a priority appointment.
The gum around an impacted wisdom tooth can become inflamed or infected from time to time. We recommend you try to keep this area as clean as you can with your toothbrush.You can also try rinsing with Corsydyl or a peroxyl mouthwash or warm salt water at least 4-5 times per day for a minute at a time. Swish the mouthwash or water vigorously in the area that is sore before spitting out.If the pain is not just local to the gum but you have pain also into your jaw then we recommend booking a priority appointment.
Mouth ulcers can affect any area of the mouth and can be extremely uncomfortable. Its important to keep your mouth as clean as possible to reduce the likelihood of the surface of the ulcer getting infected.
We recommend warm salt mouth rinses or a mouthwash such as Corsydyl if the ulcer is very sore. Rinsing 4- 5 times per day for a minute at a time will help to keep the ulcers clean and reduce the inflammation.
We do not think putting medication directly on the ulcers is a good idea as you risk transferring bacteria from your finger.
If you have a large ulcer or several small ulcers, a softer diet will be kinder to the healing surface and reduce trauma. Most ulcers are self-limiting and will heal within 7-10 days.
If you have an ulcer that does not heal within a 3 week period we recommend that you see a dentist to have this checked.
Front teeth are prone to chipping in an accident or from wear and tear such as tooth grinding. You can get small chips on your front teeth that feel rough to your tongue but are not sore.
If the chip is small it may be smoothed. If the chip is large, we would recommend that you have it repaired with a tooth coloured composite.
If you have been in an accident and the tooth is painful and reacting to hot and cold, we would recommend you see a dentist.
