Understanding your options
About Emergency Dentistry
Dental pain, injuries and swelling should be assessed promptly. Call the clinic to describe your symptoms, when they started and any injury involved. Appointment availability must be confirmed by the team. The initial priority is to assess the cause and address urgent needs; definitive treatment may require another visit or a referral.
Who may benefit
- People with persistent toothache or a painful broken tooth
- Patients with a lost filling or crown causing discomfort
- Anyone with a dental injury, swelling or a knocked-out adult tooth
Suitability is determined through an individual dental assessment.

Your care journey
What to expect
Call and describe symptoms
Tell the team about pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma and any relevant medical conditions so they can advise on the next step.
Assess the urgent problem
An examination and imaging when needed help identify the cause and suitable treatment options.
Plan immediate and follow-up care
Discuss urgent treatment, pain management and any follow-up care or referral needed to address the underlying problem.
When you need urgent help
Follow the treating clinician's instructions and arrange any recommended follow-up. Do not place aspirin directly on teeth or gums. For pain relief, ask a pharmacist or clinician what is safe for your health history. Trouble breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial or neck swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding requires emergency medical care—call 911 or go to an emergency department.
Common questions
What should I do if an adult tooth is knocked out?
Seek dental care immediately. Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing. If it cannot be safely placed back in its socket, keep it moist in milk or a tooth-preservation solution and take it with you. Do not let it dry out.
Should I put a knocked-out baby tooth back in?
No. Do not reinsert a baby tooth, as this can damage the developing permanent tooth. Contact a dentist promptly for assessment and advice.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
Call the clinic to confirm the earliest available appointment. Urgency and availability vary; a requested time is not a confirmed booking. Severe symptoms may require emergency medical care rather than waiting for a dental visit.
