Dental emergencies can happen suddenly and are often painful or distressing. Emergency dental appointments are designed to relieve pain, control infection, and stabilise your oral health as quickly as possible. Whether you’re experiencing severe toothache, swelling, trauma, or a broken tooth, prompt treatment can prevent the problem from worsening and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
Common dental emergencies include:
Emergency dental care focuses on immediate pain relief and managing the cause of the problem. Our priority is to assess the issue, stabilise the tooth or area involved, and reduce discomfort or infection.
Major health authorities such as the Australian Dental Association recommend seeking urgent dental care when pain, swelling, or trauma is present, rather than waiting for symptoms to resolve on their own.
Dental pain is often a sign of infection or nerve involvement. Emergency treatment may include medication, drainage of infection, temporary restorations, or procedures to relieve pressure and inflammation. Early treatment reduces the risk of spreading infection and more invasive procedures later.
Swelling of the face, jaw, or gums can indicate a serious dental infection. If left untreated, infections can spread to surrounding tissues and impact overall health. Emergency appointments allow us to diagnose the cause and begin immediate treatment to protect your health.
Accidents can result in chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth. Prompt dental care significantly improves the chance of saving the tooth and restoring function and appearance. Even if pain is minimal, trauma should always be assessed as soon as possible.

Severe pain, swelling, infection, trauma, bleeding, or broken teeth causing discomfort are all considered dental emergencies.
If you are unable to access a dental clinic, yes, you should attend an emergency department, especially if you are experiencing severe pain, facial swelling, fever, or signs of infection. Hospitals can help manage pain and control infection; however, they usually cannot treat the underlying dental cause. It is still important to see a dentist as soon as possible to fully resolve the issue.
Even if pain subsides, the underlying problem may still be present. Delaying treatment can allow infection or damage to worsen.
Handle the tooth carefully by the crown, keep it moist (milk or saliva), and seek emergency dental care immediately. Time is critical.
Emergency care focuses on relief and stabilisation. Further treatment may be required to fully resolve the issue and restore long-term oral health.
We have payment plans with zero deposit and no interest, starting from as little as $53 per week which means patients can get started immediately!
