Rewarding Work

Helping you get back your smile is one of the most rewarding things a dentist can do. As Dr. Oberoi from Emergency Dentist Sydney says, “What inspires me is when I really make a difference in people’s lives every day. I’m giving them more confidence in their smile. I’m helping them overcome years of phobia about the dentist.”

No matter what dental issues you have, your dentist has treatments that can help. And best of all, they’ll feel as good about the results as you will.

Fixing the Pain of Broken Teeth

One of the best things you can do to repair your smile is to get your broken teeth fixed. Teeth can break because of injury, poor oral hygiene, or grinding, and this can not only change how your smile looks, it can also make you feel ashamed and self-conscious. As Dr. Oberoi points out, “Often in the patient’s head, the broken teeth are a terrible fear and shame. But when you’re finished, they’re so happy and grateful with what you’ve done for them. After all that worry and shame, one appointment and everything is fixed.”

Fixing broken teeth is a relatively easy and straightforward procedure these days. Your dentist will examine your mouth and create a plan to deal with the problem. The treatment will vary depending on the condition of your mouth and teeth. But usually, broken teeth are covered with a dental crown, to give a flawless and natural looking smile.

After: Crowns and Composite Bonding

If your broken teeth can’t be salvaged, they can be removed and a dental implant placed into the gum. After a bit of time, the implant site will heal so a new tooth can be fitted into place. And once this is complete, your smile will look so good that you’ll forget there was ever a problem. 

If you don’t want to have dental implants put in, your dentist may recommend a dental bridge. Dental bridges can be fitted over damaged teeth or used to replace missing teeth.They basically consist of two or more connected dental crowns that are bonded or cemented into place. Once they’re in, the replacement teeth are strong and secure, and they’ll look, feel and act just like your original teeth. So you can forget about them and show off your big, beautiful smile.

Other Conditions to Be Treated as an Emergency

Apart from the emergency that comes with pains, aches or cracks. Some conditions should not also be handled with levity, especially the ones involving minor and easily overlooked conditions coming from tooth treatment. Conditions like this should not be underestimated so as to avoid unnecessary prolongation of treatment. Also, it isn’t a crime to look beautiful and dentists can make that happen, so, do not relegate yourself as a second-class citizen simply because you do not want to see a dentist. Some of these conditions listed should be treated as emergency cases and promptly resolved:

·       Broken Denture
Dentures are metal frameworks attached to someone tooth for the purpose of realignment. When a denture gets broken for whatever reason, it should not be treated as a minor issue. While a broken denture can be overlooked, it can be very embarrassing and seriously disfiguring. This condition should not be allowed to stay with you for too long when the solution is just around the corner. It should be treated as an emergency situation, for aesthetic purpose and also not to cause a further damage to the tooth and thus incurring more cost for lack of knowledge.

·       A Chipped Crown or Veneer
When a crown or veneer becomes chipped or slightly cracked, you should reach out to your dentist immediately in order not to unnecessarily prolong your treatment and cause more damage to the tooth in question. If left untreated, the tooth might eventually become loose, thus, the essence of the treatment getting to be in vain.

·       Popped out wires from Braces
For those using braces to align your dentition, you should take note of the wires being out of place and thus popping out. If this occurs, there is a very high tendency of distortion in treatment as orthodontic work required precision. This would eventually lead to prolongation of treatment. It can also affect your eating ability or damage your mouth, so it is very important to take it as an emergency situation.

·       Broken Retainers
The main purpose of wearing a retainer is to perfect the work of the orthodontist. When your retainer gets broken, return to your dentist immediately and it would be easily rectifiable provided you treat it as an emergency situation and do not delay it.

Some other conditions that should be treated as an emergency are getting to starve yourself to sleep because you have lost your sleep appliances and also losing fillings and ramifications due to unnecessary delay in getting it fixed.
