Call NowWhat counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any dental problem that needs prompt care to relieve pain, manage infection, stop bleeding, protect a damaged tooth or stabilise trauma. If you are unsure, call us and our team can help guide the next step.
Severe toothache
Persistent, throbbing or sharp tooth pain can be a sign of decay, infection, a cracked tooth, grinding or wisdom tooth pressure. Read our severe toothache guide.
Swelling or infection
Facial swelling, gum swelling, a bad taste, fever or tenderness may point to an abscess or infection that needs prompt assessment. Learn more about dental infection and swelling.
Broken or cracked teeth
A chipped, cracked or broken tooth should be checked quickly, especially if it is painful, sharp, sensitive or difficult to chew on. See our broken tooth guide.
Knocked-out tooth
A knocked-out adult tooth is time-sensitive. Fast action can improve the chance of saving the tooth. Follow the steps in our knocked-out tooth guide.
Lost filling or crown
A lost restoration can expose the tooth and lead to sensitivity, pain or further damage if left untreated. Call the clinic so we can help you decide how urgent it is.
Wisdom tooth pain
Swelling, jaw pain, bad taste or pain at the back of the mouth can be linked to impacted or infected wisdom teeth. We can assess whether wisdom teeth removal may be needed.
What to do for common dental emergencies
Not sure what to do next? These quick guides explain the safest first steps for the most common dental emergencies before you arrive at the clinic.
Severe Toothache
When tooth pain becomes urgent, what symptoms to watch for, and when to call an emergency dentist.
Knocked-Out Tooth
What to do immediately, how to handle the tooth, and why fast care matters.
Broken Tooth
How to protect the tooth, reduce discomfort, and know when urgent treatment is needed.
Dental Infection or Swelling
Warning signs of infection, when swelling becomes urgent, and when to seek dental or medical care.
What to do before you see an emergency dentist
These steps can help protect your tooth and reduce discomfort while you are on your way to the clinic. They are not a substitute for dental treatment, but they can make a difference.
For severe toothache
Rinse with warm water and gently floss around the tooth to remove trapped food. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.
For a knocked-out tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. Keep it moist in milk or saliva and call immediately. Do not scrub the tooth.
For a broken tooth
Rinse your mouth, use a cold compress if swollen, avoid chewing on that side, and do not try to glue or fill the tooth at home.
For swelling or trauma
Call us quickly. If swelling affects your throat, eyes or breathing, or trauma involves head injury symptoms, call 000 first.
Fast care without the confusion
Emergency dentistry should feel clear and calm. We focus on finding the cause, explaining your options and helping you get comfortable as quickly as possible.
Call or book online
Call the clinic for the fastest triage. If booking online, choose the earliest available appointment and include your symptoms.
We assess the urgency
Our team will ask what happened, how long it has been going on, whether there is swelling, and whether you are in severe pain.
You see the dentist
Your dentist will examine the area, take any needed x-rays and explain the most appropriate treatment options.
We stabilise the problem
This may involve temporary repair, pain relief, antibiotics where appropriate, drainage, root canal treatment, extraction or restoration.
You get a clear plan
If follow-up treatment is needed, you will know what comes next, what it may cost and what to do at home.
Comfort options available
For anxious patients or complex emergency treatment, IV sedation may be discussed where clinically suitable.
Emergency dentist pricing and call-out fees
We keep emergency fees as clear as possible so you know what to expect before you arrive. Treatment costs depend on what is needed after the dentist has assessed the problem.
Payment options: Health funds, payment plans and upfront payment options may be available depending on your treatment and eligibility. If cost is a concern, tell us early so we can discuss the most suitable next step.

Questions people ask before booking

How quickly can I be seen by an emergency dentist?

Do you offer emergency dentist appointments on Saturdays?

How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
Call-out fees are $0 during standard business hours and Saturday opening hours. After-hours call-out fees vary depending on the time. Treatment fees depend on what is required after your dentist assesses the problem.
What should I do if my tooth is knocked out?
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse gently without scrubbing. Keep it moist in milk or saliva and call immediately. A knocked-out adult tooth has the best chance of being saved when treated quickly.
Should I go to hospital or call the dentist?
If you have trouble breathing, swelling near the eyes or throat, a serious head injury, dizziness, vomiting, or heavy bleeding, call 000 or go to hospital first. For tooth pain, broken teeth, lost restorations or dental swelling, call the clinic.
Can you help nervous patients during an emergency?
Yes. We take a calm and clear approach with anxious patients. Depending on the treatment required and your medical suitability, IV sedation may be discussed for complex or anxiety-related emergency care.
Will I need follow-up treatment?
Sometimes. Emergency care often focuses on relieving pain, stabilising the problem and controlling infection or trauma. If a permanent restoration, root canal, crown, extraction or further treatment is needed, your dentist will explain the next step clearly.
