Find relief with your emergency dentist

A trip, a fall, a sporting injury. It always happens so quickly, except those few slow-mo moments when you realise what is about to happen but your body can’t do anything to stop it. Like when you can see that ball just about to hit your mouth. Or you see the cement floor getting awfully close to your face. And then it happens, your tooth goes crack, blood spurts from your mouth and you start to panic. Once your panic is under control, it’s time to get yourself an emergency dental appointment in Mackay.

At Walkerston Dental in Walkerston, we’ve seen it all, from teeth sticking out at odd angles to huge abscesses and bloody mouths. We’ve seen it all and fixed it all with an emergency dental appointment in Mackay.

What happens during your emergency dental appointment?

First we will get you comfortable. If you need pain relief, we’ll give it to you. Then we’ll have a look at the damaged area and sterilise it to reduce your chances of infection. We may need to take some x-rays to assess the full extent of the damage. Then we’ll plan how we can repair any damage. If possible, we’ll provide you with a permanent fix, then and there. If not, we’ll put a temporary solution in place and ask you to come back for further work. For example, if a tooth has been lost or needs extracting, you may come back on another day to start treatment with dental implants.
