Emergency Dentristy
Emergency Dental Treatment Available
Dental emergencies can be painful, stressful, and disruptive to your daily life. At Legana Dental, we provide prompt and professional emergency dental care to help relieve pain, address urgent concerns, and restore your oral health as quickly as possible. Whether you are experiencing a severe toothache, require an extraction, or need urgent wisdom teeth management, our caring team is here to help.
We understand that emergencies often happen at the most inconvenient times, which is why we make it a priority to see emergency cases as quickly as possible. Our goal is to ease discomfort, prevent complications, and provide effective treatment tailored to your needs.
Simple Extractions
In cases where a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved, a simple extraction may be required. This straightforward procedure involves gently removing the affected tooth to prevent further pain or infection.
We ensure your comfort with local anaesthesia and a calm, supportive environment, so the procedure is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Surgical Extractions
Some teeth, particularly those that are broken, impacted, or located beneath the gum line, may require a surgical extraction. Our skilled dentists use precise techniques and modern equipment to perform surgical extractions safely and effectively.
We carefully manage your comfort throughout the process and provide clear aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing.
Wisdom Teeth Management
Wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, or misalignment when they don’t erupt properly. At Legana Dental, we offer thorough assessments and tailored treatment plans to manage wisdom teeth concerns.
Depending on your individual needs, this may involve monitoring their development, addressing pain or infection, or recommending removal if they pose a risk to your oral health.
While we prioritise minimally invasive techniques and your overall wellbeing, we also work closely with trusted local dental surgeons and specialists—providing referrals when surgical expertise is required to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
Toothache Relief
Tooth pain can range from mild discomfort to unbearable throbbing. A toothache may be caused by decay, infection, trauma, or gum disease. Whatever the cause, prompt treatment is essential to prevent further complications.
We provide fast diagnosis and targeted treatment, which may include fillings, root canal therapy, or extractions, depending on the severity of the problem. Our immediate focus is on relieving your pain and restoring your dental health.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I have a severe toothache before my appointment?
You can take over-the-counter pain relief (following the instructions on the label) and rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help manage discomfort. Avoid very hot, cold, or sweet foods until you can see us.
How quickly can I be seen in a dental emergency?
We prioritise emergency cases and do our best to see you on the same day whenever possible. Calling us as soon as the problem occurs ensures we can schedule you promptly.
Do you remove wisdom teeth at your clinic?
Yes, we provide both simple and surgical wisdom teeth extractions. In more complex cases, we may refer you to a trusted specialist, but most patients can be treated directly at our practice.
Is a tooth extraction painful?
No. Extractions are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. You may experience some mild soreness afterwards, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Can a toothache go away on its own?
Tooth pain often indicates an underlying issue such as decay, infection, or gum disease. While the pain may ease temporarily, the problem will not resolve without treatment and may worsen if left unchecked.
