What counts as a dental emergency?

Contact us for severe toothache, knocked-out or loosened teeth, broken teeth causing pain, abscess or swelling, bleeding after injury, lost fillings or crowns causing pain, or pain after recent dental work. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, or you have significant facial trauma, go to hospital emergency or call 000.

What to do right now

For a knocked-out tooth: handle by the crown, rinse gently if dirty, try to reinsert or keep moist in milk or saline, and call immediately. For broken teeth or abscesses, rinse gently and call. For severe toothache, short-term pain relief may help until you are seen.

  • Knocked-out tooth: act quickly, call immediately
  • Broken tooth: rinse and call the clinic
  • Abscess or swelling: do not ignore spreading swelling
  • Severe toothache: describe symptoms when you call

At your emergency appointment we focus on relief first.

01 Assessment

Review of history, examination, X-rays where indicated, and pain or infection management.

02 Treatment or stabilisation

Treatment on the day where appropriate, or a clear plan for follow-up care.

03 Next steps

We explain findings and recommendations before any further treatment goes ahead.
