What Is a Dental Emergency?

It’s not always easy to know what is considered a dental emergency. If you’re unsure, we’d always rather you check than wait. Some of the most common urgent issues we see include:

  • Toothaches or pain that won’t go away
  • Knocked-out or broken teeth
  • Swelling in the face or gums
  • Lost fillings, crowns, or dental appliances
  • Dental trauma from accidents or injuries
  • Infections or abscesses

If you’re experiencing bleeding, swelling, severe pain, or have had a tooth knocked out, seek care straight away.

Why It’s Best to Call First

A quick call helps us understand your symptoms, prioritise your case, and secure a same-day appointment if needed. We’ll also give you first-aid tips to help manage discomfort until your visit.

What to Expect During Your Visit

We’ll start with an examination and X-rays if needed, then explain what’s going on and your best treatment options. Our aim is to ease your pain quickly and stop the issue from getting worse.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I’ve knocked out a tooth?

Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently, and place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it in milk and call us straight away – time is critical.

Can I be seen the same day?

Yes – we set time aside each day just for emergencies. Call us early so we can triage your situation and fit you in as soon as possible.

What if it’s after hours?

Call us for after-hours advice. We’ll help you decide the next best steps and aim to get you in first thing the next day.

Will my health fund cover the visit?

Many emergency treatments are claimable. We’re preferred providers for several funds – our team is happy to help check your coverage.

How do I know if it’s urgent?

Pain, bleeding, swelling, or trauma are all reasons to be seen quickly. But even milder symptoms can quickly worsen – so it’s best to call.
