When an emergency involves a cracked tooth, abscess, or root fracture, precise imaging is essential for the right diagnosis and treatment. Our technology ensures we don't miss what matters. --- ## What to Do While You Travel to Us **Knocked-out tooth:** Hold by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently and re-implant in the socket if possible, or store in milk. Call us immediately — tooth survival drops significantly with time. **Toothache:** Warm salt-water rinse. Over-the-counter ibuprofen or paracetamol as directed. Avoid putting aspirin directly on the tooth. **Broken tooth or lost filling:** Temporary dental cement (pharmacy) can help. Avoid chewing on the affected side. **Facial swelling:** Cold compress only. If swelling is spreading rapidly or involves your throat — call 000. --- ## Pain Management and Comfort for Anxious Patients Dental emergencies are stressful, and arriving in pain heightens anxiety. Our Epping team — particularly Dr Marina Ghobrial — is especially skilled with nervous patients. We move quickly to relieve pain using local anaesthetic, and for anxious patients, **happy gas (nitrous oxide)** and **IV sedation** are available. Core Dental Epping is known for its welcoming ambience — Glasshouse scented candles, Sonos music, a non-clinical atmosphere, and a team that genuinely cares.
