At Westpoint Dental Clinic we can are more than happy to help you in a dental emergency

Accidents happen, and sometimes those accidents can result in severe injury that needs to be treated as soon as possible. That is why Westpoint Dental Clinic puts time aside every day for dental emergencies. Don’t put off a problem, the sooner you visit the dentist the sooner the problem can be resolved and the damage potentially minimised.

The difference between a dental concern and an emergency

There are times when we have been called up about an emergency only to discover, during the course of the phone call, it’s a concern rather than an emergency. The difference is simple: a dental concern is aesthetic, a chipped, cracked or crooked teeth, however it becomes an emergency when there is any amount of pain involved (for example, you can chip your tooth without there being pain).

So if you experience a sudden sharp pain in your tooth, or have a cracked tooth causing your discomfort then you should call Westpoint Dental Clinic today.

Why a dull toothache is not okay

If you experience a dull toothache the ‘wait and see if it goes away’ approach is often not the best approach. If you have a dull persistent toothache we strongly recommend booking an appointment with us to ensure there is no serious problem.
