Toothache Relief in Wicklow
One of the most common reasons patients call us is severe toothache. Tooth pain may be caused by deep decay, an abscess, or even a cracked tooth. Left untreated, it can quickly worsen. Our Wicklow emergency dentists will identify the cause, relieve your pain, and discuss the most effective treatment—whether that’s a filling, antibiotics, or a root canal treatment.
Emergency Treatment for Broken Teeth
Accidents happen, whether through sport, a fall, or even biting into something too hard. If a tooth has broken or been completely knocked out, time is critical.
-
For a broken tooth, we can often repair it with composite bonding or a dental crown.
-
For a knocked-out tooth, place it in milk or hold it gently in your mouth to keep it moist, and get to our Wicklow clinic as quickly as possible. The sooner we see you, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
If a filling or crown has fallen out, it can expose sensitive tooth tissue, leading to pain and increasing the risk of infection. Our team can replace or restore the restoration promptly, ensuring your tooth is protected.
For long-term results, we may recommend a new dental filling or crown to provide lasting strength.
Gum Infections and Dental Abscesses
Dental abscesses can be extremely painful and, if left untreated, may lead to serious health complications. Symptoms often include throbbing pain, swelling, and even fever. Our emergency dentists in Wicklow can provide immediate relief, drain the infection if necessary, and prescribe antibiotics to control the spread.
We’ll also plan definitive treatment, such as root canal therapy, to address the cause of the infection and protect your long-term health.
What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment
When you arrive at our Wicklow dental clinic, we’ll focus on three key priorities:
-
Pain relief – We’ll get you comfortable as quickly as possible.
-
Diagnosis – Using X-rays and a thorough examination, we’ll identify the cause of the problem.
-
Treatment – Depending on your situation, we may complete the treatment immediately or provide temporary care until a follow-up appointment.
Our compassionate team knows that dental emergencies can feel stressful, so we aim to provide care in a calm, supportive environment.
Preventing Future Dental Emergencies
While some emergencies are unavoidable, many can be prevented with regular care. We encourage Wicklow patients to attend routine check-ups and hygiene visits to catch problems early and avoid sudden issues.
For those involved in sports, we can provide custom mouthguards to reduce the risk of dental trauma. And if you grind your teeth at night, a protective nightguard can help prevent cracks or chips.
