Live life to the max with no worries

Do you live an active life? Do you love sports? Maybe you’re a team player and you’re into hockey, rugby or soccer. Perhaps you prefer to ride the waves by yourself and go surf. Or it could be that you love to tear up the dirt on a BMX track. Whatever your sporting pursuit, you’d be wise to keep the number of an emergency dentist to hand.

It’s so easy to lose a tooth to an elbow in the face during a scrum, or to chip a piece off after a BMX face plant. And at such a time, the last thing you want to be doing is scrolling through Google trying to find an emergency dental appointment in Mackay.

It might be that your regular dentist doesn’t offer emergency appointments, or maybe you and your team are visiting the area for an away game. Whatever your situation, save the number of Walkerston Dental in Walkerston under ‘Emergency Dentist’ in your phone. That way, when ball hits face, it will only take a couple of clicks to be on your way to your emergency dental appointment in Mackay.

When it comes to a knocked-out tooth, it’s doubly important to get to an emergency dental appointment in Mackay fast. Not only will you want to get some relief from the pain, there’s also a much better chance of saving the tooth if you get to us within 2 hours. Let our reception staff know when you call that you’ve had a tooth knocked out and they will do their best to fit you in as soon as possible.

There are other things you can do to help save the tooth. First of all, remember that the root of a tooth is living tissue. Avoid touching it as the oils and dirt on your fingers can kill it. Pick a knocked-out tooth up by the white part (the crown) then put it back in its socket. If that’s not possible, place it inside the cheek, or, put it in a clean container and cover it with milk. Never use tap water because the chemicals in it will kill the root.
