Toothache, swelling, a damaged tooth or a dental injury can require prompt assessment. Call (02) 8090 1105 during opening hours to discuss symptoms and appointment availability. An appointment or treatment on the same day cannot be guaranteed.
Call 000 for difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading facial swelling, serious injury or uncontrolled bleeding.
Your dentist will assess the cause of the problem and discuss treatment, pain management, risks and fees. Some problems need several visits or referral. If the practice is closed, seek an available emergency dental service or call healthdirect on 1800 022 222 for advice.
Arrange prompt dental assessment after an injury to a child’s teeth or mouth. Never put a knocked-out baby tooth back into its socket, as this can damage the developing adult tooth. Seek emergency medical care for serious head or facial injuries.
Toothache and swelling need assessment to identify the cause. Contact a dentist promptly, especially if symptoms are worsening or accompanied by fever. Ask a pharmacist or clinician about pain relief appropriate for your circumstances. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
Dental injuries can involve damage that is not immediately visible. Have loose, displaced or fractured teeth assessed promptly, even if pain settles. Significant head or jaw injuries need urgent medical assessment.
A knocked-out adult tooth is a dental emergency. Handle it by the crown rather than the root. If it cannot be replaced safely, keep it in milk and seek dental care immediately; do not let it dry out. Never reinsert a baby tooth. If unsure whether it is a baby or adult tooth, keep it in milk and obtain urgent professional advice.
Have a chipped or cracked tooth assessed. If you find a broken fragment, keep it in milk and take it to the dentist. Avoid biting on the damaged tooth while awaiting care.
Contact a dentist if a filling or crown comes out. Keep the restoration and bring it to the appointment. Do not use household glue to attach it. The tooth and restoration need assessment before repair or replacement is planned.
Suspected jaw fracture, a major facial injury, loss of consciousness or difficulty breathing requires emergency medical care. Call 000 in a serious emergency. Dental assessment may also be needed after the immediate medical concerns are addressed.
Your dentist will examine the area, usually take an x-ray, and explain the cause, your options and the fees before any treatment starts. As a guide from our current price guide:
