What We Treat
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
If your problem is not listed here, call us anyway. Our team will tell you how urgent it is and what to do next.
Severe Toothache
Continuous, throbbing pain or pressure radiating to the jaw, ear, or neck, often accompanied by extreme sensitivity to hot and cold liquids. Prompt emergency treatment is essential to address the root cause, relieve your discomfort, and prevent the infection from spreading into surrounding tissues.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is a time-critical emergency where trauma completely dislodges the tooth from its socket. Immediate treatment within 30 to 60 minutes, while preserving the tooth in cold milk or saline without touching its root, offers the highest chance of successful re-implantation and saving your natural tooth.
Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth
While a chipped tooth is a minor outer enamel injury causing mostly sharp edges, cracked and broken teeth extend into deeper layers to irritate or fully expose the inner nerve. Unlike minor chips, cracked and broken teeth require immediate emergency treatment to relieve severe pain, prevent infection, and save the natural tooth.
Lost Fillings or Crowns
A lost filling or crown leaves the vulnerable inner tooth exposed to bacteria, pressure, and temperature changes, often causing sharp sensitivity or pain. Prompt emergency care is essential to protect the underlying nerve, prevent further structural decay, and recement or replace the restoration before the tooth shifts.
Dental Abscess or Facial Swelling
A dental abscess is a severe bacterial infection at the root of a tooth or in the gums, often causing visible facial swelling, fever, and relentless, throbbing pain. Immediate emergency care is critical to drain the infection and administer antibiotics before it spreads deeper into surrounding tissues, the bloodstream, or your airway.
Soft Tissue Trauma & Bleeding Gums
Soft tissue trauma involves cuts, tears, or deep lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue, or gums that cause persistent, uncontrollable bleeding. Immediate emergency care is vital to control the bleeding, clean and suture delicate oral tissues, and protect surrounding teeth and jawbone from further injury or infection.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency
These four steps protect the tooth and keep you comfortable while you are on your way to us.
- 1 Call Us Immediately
Contact our team right away so we can prepare a treatment room before you arrive.
- 2 Handle Knocked-Out Teeth Carefully
Touch only the top (crown) of the tooth, never the root. Store it in a small container of milk or saline solution.
- 3 Control Swelling
Apply a cold compress wrapped in a towel to the outside of your cheek for 10-minute intervals.
- 4 Manage Pain Safely
Take over-the-counter pain relief if safe for you to do so.
Go straight to hospital if:
You have difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading towards your eye or down your neck, bleeding you cannot control, or a suspected broken jaw. These need a hospital emergency department, not a dental clinic. Call 000 if it is severe.
