Same-day emergency dental appointments
We maintain dedicated slots for dental emergencies each day, so if you call early, we’ll do everything possible to see you on the same day, including Saturdays.
We also understand that emergencies don’t always align with your budget. That’s why we provide affordable care with health fund claiming and flexible payment options to make your visit as stress-free as possible.
In pain and need emergency assistance?
While we are often fully-booked, we can make room for emergency treatments if you call the practice as soon as possible and explain your symptoms.
What to do in a dental emergency
When something goes wrong with your teeth, acting quickly can reduce pain and prevent long-term damage. Here’s what to do while you’re getting to us:
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Find the tooth and stay calm.
- Hold it by the crown (not the root) and gently rinse it in milk or saline. Do not scrub it.
- Try to reinsert it into the socket using your other teeth as a guide. If that’s not possible:
- Place it in milk or saline,
- Or tuck it inside your cheek.
- Call us immediately – reaching us within 30-60 minutes gives the best chance of saving it.
Partially Dislodged Tooth
- Rinse gently with warm water.
- Do not wiggle or force the tooth.
- If it’s comfortable to do so, try repositioning it gently.
- Contact us right away to stabilise the tooth and protect it from further trauma.
Severe Toothache
- Try a warm saltwater rinse.
- Use cold compresses or pain relief as needed.
- Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth.
- See us as soon as possible – toothaches don’t go away on their own and may indicate infection.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
- Collect any broken fragments and store them in milk or your saliva.
- Rinse your mouth and apply gauze if needed.
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Book an emergency appointment – the sooner we treat it, the better.
Lost Filling, Crown or Veneer
- Place sugar-free gum over the exposed area to prevent irritation.
- Store any lost restorations in a container and bring them with you.
- Take pain relief if needed.
- Don’t wait – exposed teeth can quickly become sensitive or infected.
Gum Abscesses or Swelling
- May signal a severe infection.
- Call us immediately for diagnosis and treatment.
- If swelling is severe or affects breathing or swallowing, visit your nearest hospital emergency department.
Injuries to Lips, Gums or Tongue
- Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater.
- Apply a cold compress to the area.
- Use clean gauze to stop any bleeding.
- Seek urgent help if bleeding doesn’t stop within 15 minutes.
Trapped Object Between Teeth
- Gently use dental floss or an interdental brush – do not use sharp objects.
- If you can’t dislodge it, we’ll remove it safely and gently.
Broken Braces or Wires
- Apply orthodontic wax to any sharp edges.
- Do not attempt to fix or adjust the braces yourself.
- Contact us to arrange a repair appointment.
