Could this help?
Should I call an emergency dentist?
Call if you are unsure how urgently you need to be seen. Our team can ask about your symptoms and offer the earliest suitable appointment available.
You may wish to discuss
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Facial or gum swelling
- A broken, cracked or knocked-out tooth
- A lost filling, crown or bridge causing pain or sensitivity
- Bleeding or pain following recent dental treatment
- Wisdom-tooth pain, dental injury or another urgent concern
Dental or medical emergency?
Most urgent dental problems should be assessed by a dentist, but some symptoms require immediate medical care.
- Call the practice — dental pain, broken teeth, lost restorations or localised swelling
- Seek urgent medical care — difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness or significant facial trauma
- Knocked-out adult tooth — call immediately, handle it by the crown and avoid touching the root

Common questions
Questions about emergency dentist.
Clear information is part of good care. These answers are a starting point for your conversation.
Can I be seen by an emergency dentist today?
Same-day appointments may be available depending on clinical need and appointment capacity. Call 02 9519 6098 so the team can ask about your symptoms.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Call immediately. Handle an adult tooth by the crown rather than the root. If it is clean and replaces easily, gently return it to the socket; otherwise keep it moist in milk and seek urgent care.
When should I go to hospital instead of a dentist?
Seek urgent medical care for difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly spreading swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness or significant facial trauma.
Will the problem be completely treated at the emergency visit?
Sometimes treatment can be completed immediately. Other problems first require pain relief or stabilisation, followed by another appointment or referral.
Will I need an X-ray?
Imaging is recommended only when clinically appropriate to identify the cause, assess damage or plan safe treatment.
How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
Cost depends on the examination, imaging and treatment required. We explain recommended care and available fees before proceeding where circumstances allow.
