Dr Richard Nirui and our experienced team are here to help with your dental emergencies, offering gentle, professional treatment to relieve pain and restore your smile.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat

We provide emergency dental care for a wide range of urgent dental problems:

Severe Toothache or Dental Pain
Persistent or severe toothache can indicate infection, decay, or other serious dental issues. We provide prompt assessment and pain relief, identifying the cause and providing immediate treatment to stop the pain.

Swelling, Infection or Dental Abscess
Dental infections and abscesses require urgent attention as they can spread quickly and become serious. We provide same-day care to drain abscesses, treat infections, and prescribe antibiotics when necessary to prevent complications.

Broken, Chipped or Cracked Teeth
Whether from an accident, sports injury, or biting on hard food, broken or chipped teeth need immediate care to prevent further damage and infection. We can repair or restore damaged teeth, often in a single visit.

Lost Fillings or Crowns
A lost filling or crown leaves your tooth vulnerable to damage and sensitivity. We provide emergency repairs or replacements to protect your tooth and restore function quickly.

Knocked-Out Teeth
If a tooth is knocked out, time is critical. Contact us immediately. In some cases, we can re-implant the tooth if you seek treatment within an hour of the injury.

Severe Gum Bleeding or Trauma
Uncontrolled bleeding from the gums or mouth after injury requires immediate professional attention. We assess and treat oral trauma to stop bleeding and prevent infection.

What to Expect During Your Emergency Visit

When you contact us for emergency dental care, we'll:

1. Assess your situation over the phone to determine the urgency and provide immediate advice
2. Schedule a same-day appointment whenever possible for urgent cases
3. Provide immediate pain relief as our first priority
4. Diagnose the problem with examination and X-rays if needed
5. Explain treatment options clearly and honestly
6. Deliver effective treatment to resolve the issue and prevent complications

Dr Richard Nirui has over 20 years of experience treating dental emergencies with a gentle, caring approach. We understand dental emergencies are stressful, and we work to make you comfortable while providing the highest quality care.

When to Seek Emergency Dental Care

Contact us immediately if you experience:

• Severe, persistent toothache that won't respond to pain medication
• Visible swelling in your face, gums, or jaw
• Bleeding that won't stop after 10-15 minutes of pressure
• A knocked-out or severely loosened tooth
• A broken or cracked tooth with sharp edges or pain
• Signs of infection such as fever, foul taste, or pus
• Lost filling or crown causing pain or sensitivity

Don't wait for the pain to worsen. Early treatment prevents complications and often means simpler, less expensive solutions.
