Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly and often require prompt attention. Whether you have severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, swelling, bleeding or a dental injury, our team can assess the problem and provide appropriate treatment to help relieve discomfort and protect your oral health. We aim to make emergency dental care as straightforward and reassuring as possible.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, it is important not to ignore persistent pain, swelling or damage to your teeth. During your appointment, your dentist will assess the affected area, identify the likely cause and explain the treatment options available. Where possible, we will focus on relieving pain, stabilising the problem and helping you understand the next steps for your dental health.
We can assess urgent dental problems and help identify the cause of your pain or discomfort.
Emergency treatment can help manage severe toothache and discomfort caused by dental problems or injury.
Prompt treatment can help stabilise broken, chipped or injured teeth and reduce the risk of further damage.
We explain what is causing the problem and discuss the most appropriate treatment options with you.
Severe toothache, significant swelling, dental injuries, knocked-out teeth, uncontrolled bleeding and broken teeth can all require urgent dental attention.
Contact your dentist as soon as possible for an assessment. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums, and follow appropriate pain relief guidance while waiting for your appointment.
Try to handle the tooth by the crown rather than the root. If possible, gently rinse it without scrubbing and seek urgent dental care immediately. If you can, keep the tooth moist in milk or an appropriate tooth-preservation solution while travelling to the dentist.
Yes. A dentist can assess the damage and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include a temporary repair, filling, crown or other restorative treatment depending on the severity.
Dental swelling can indicate an infection and should be assessed promptly. If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, or is spreading rapidly, seek emergency medical care immediately.
