Common Dental
Emergencies We Handle

Gerringon Dental

01

Tooth Ache

Toothaches can range from a dull ache to severe, throbbing pain that affects your ability to eat, sleep, or concentrate. Toothaches can occur due to cavities, infections, tooth fractures, or other dental problems.
When you come to Gerringong Dental with a toothache, we’ll thoroughly examine your mouth to identify the cause of the pain and provide immediate relief. Depending on the cause, treatment may include a filling, root canal, or other necessary procedures to restore your tooth’s health and alleviate pain.

02

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, typically in your late teens or early twenties. These teeth can sometimes become impacted, meaning they don't have enough space to fully erupt, which can cause pain, swelling, and potential damage to surrounding teeth.
If you’re experiencing issues with your wisdom teeth, our experienced team at Gerringong Dental can safely extract them to prevent further complications. We’ll ensure that your procedure is comfortable and provide detailed aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

03

Cracked/broken/worn Down Teeth

A cracked tooth can result from trauma, biting on something hard, or other accidents. The pain from a cracked tooth can be sharp, particularly when chewing or eating hot or cold foods. If left untreated, the crack can worsen, leading to more severe pain or infection.
At Gerringong Dental, we specialize in treating cracked teeth. Depending on the extent of the damage, we may recommend dental bonding, a crown, or in some cases, root canal therapy to restore the tooth. We’ll provide prompt treatment to relieve your discomfort and preserve the integrity of your tooth.
