Dental Emergency?

Saturday: 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Sunday: 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM
Same-day appointments remain subject to availability.
Ongoing pain sometimes relates to decay, infection, cracks, gum problems, or pressure. Assessment identifies the source.
A fall, sporting injury, hard food, or weakened enamel sometimes causes a fracture. Review helps assess repair options.
A knocked-out adult tooth needs attention. Hold the crown, keep the root moist, and seek care straight away. Faster treatment improves the chance of reimplantation, although results vary.
A missing restoration might leave a tooth exposed, sensitive, or uncomfortable while chewing. A dentist will discuss repair or replacement.
Wisdom tooth pain sometimes involves inflammation, infection, decay, or limited space. Swelling, fever, or swallowing difficulty needs prompt review.
Swelling around a tooth, gum, jaw, or face might signal infection. Seek urgent assessment when swelling affects swallowing, speech, or breathing.
An abscess is an infection linked with a tooth or nearby tissue. Symptoms include pain, swelling, tenderness, fever, or an unpleasant taste. Treatment follows diagnosis.
Falls, sport, workplace incidents, and accidents sometimes injure teeth, gums, lips, or jaw tissues. An examination helps identify damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Hold an adult tooth by the crown, not the root.
- Rinse briefly with water when dirty. Do not scrub.
- Replace the tooth only when safe and easy.
- Otherwise, store the tooth in milk or saliva.
- Never reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth.
Broken Tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Place fragments in milk or sterile saline.
- Use a wrapped cold pack for swelling.
- Avoid chewing on the affected side.
Swelling or Severe Pain
- Apply a wrapped cold pack outside your face.
- Do not place aspirin on your tooth or gums.
- Use medicines only as directed.
Call 000 for breathing difficulty, severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or major facial trauma.

After diagnosis, your dentist discusses care. Initial treatment might stabilise a tooth, manage infection, protect tissue, or reduce discomfort.
