What Is a Dental Emergency? 

It can be challenging to determine whether you need immediate dental attention. If you're unsure, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our friendly staff will assess your situation over the phone and guide you through the next steps.

Common dental emergencies we handle include:

• Fractured or broken teeth
• Knocked-out teeth
• Severe toothaches or dental pain
• Lost or broken dental restorations (fillings, crowns)

When you visit us for an emergency appointment, we will use x-rays and perform a thorough examination to diagnose the issue and provide effective treatment. Potential treatments may include: 

• Tooth-coloured fillings
• Dental crowns
• Root canal therapy
• Tooth extraction
• Dental implants

During the appointment, we will discuss all treatment options with you, including expected timelines and costs. Ultimately, we want to ensure you understand your options so you can make fully informed decisions about your dental care.

How to Prevent Dental Emergencies

Many dental emergencies can be avoided with regular check-ups and cleanings at Dentistry on King. By detecting potential problems early, such as tooth decay, we can address them before they become severe. For example, we can treat early-stage decay with a simple dental filling, preventing more serious issues like root infections.

Other tips for preventing dental emergencies include:

• Brush and floss your teeth daily. 
• Arrange routine dental check-ups. 
• Eat a healthy diet and avoid sugary foods.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. 
• Wear a mouthguard during sports. 
• Wear a nightguard if you have a teeth-grinding habit. 

At Dentistry on King, we prioritise preventive care to protect your smile and keep it healthy and pain-free. 

If you have a dental emergency, we are here to help. Even outside of regular business hours, we can provide instructions on how to reach us for urgent care. We invite you to call us to find relief, preserve your smile, and get back to feeling your best.

We welcome patients of all ages from Buderim, the Sunshine Coast and the surrounding areas.
