3 Reasons you may have a toothache

1> Tooth Decay
2> Wisdom Tooth
3> Broken Tooth

What can you do if you have a toothache?

If you have toothache, it is important to see a dentist as soon as possible. The best thing you can do is have the cause of the pain treated. Pain relief medication may help until you see the dentist.

O'Connor Dental Surgery can see patients in an emergency on the same day.

Dental care during the pandemic

Maintaining your oral health is more important now than ever. O'Connor Dental Surgery encourages you to keep in contact with your dentist and to help you to manage your dental health.

Is it safe to visit the dentist?

Australian dental practitioners have the highest infection control standards in the world and the safety of their patients and their teams is a cornerstone of Australian dental practice. Where appropriate, dentists may take extra precautions to keep you safe during the pandemic.

You should not delay dental treatment if your dentist is open and ready to help.

If you have been to an expsoure site or been in contact with someone who has COVID-19 and are required to quarantine, or you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms, please delay your dental appointment and get tested for COVID-19. You must stay at home and isolate until you receive your test result.

What should I expect if I do see my dentist?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional measures are being taken to stop the spread of the virus. You might see an empty waiting room and be asked to wash your hands or use hand sanitiser as you enter the practice, and on the way out, as well as other social distancing requirements.

If you have any questions about these additional measures please ask your dentist.

Can I be treated for a dental emergency if I have COVID-19?

If you need urgent dental care and think you may have COVID-19, it’s important to call your dentist or Find-A-Dentist near you and discuss your situation.

If you have a dental emergency and have been diagnosed with COVID-19, dental treatment is available as an in-patient or within a hospital setting by appropriately trained and credentialled dental personnel.

What is Root Canal Treatment

A root canal treatment is done to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing the tooth from the mouth. During a root canal treatment, the dentist removes the severely damaged or infected nerve tissue (called the dental pulp) from inside the tooth. A filling is placed using a material called gutta percha to take up the space where the dental pulp was located. Root canal treatment can be performed by a general dentist or by a root canal specialist, called an endodontist. (ADA)
