What constitutes a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial swelling, often related to a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling, or an abscess.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Handle the tooth by the crown, gently rinse it if dirty, and try to reinsert it into the socket; if not possible, store it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately.
How can I manage a toothache at home before my appointment?
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, apply a cold compress to the area, and take over-the-counter pain medication as directed.
Do you offer emergency appointments outside of regular hours?
While we aren’t open outside of regular hours, we do prioritise emergency cases and will do our best to fit you in as quickly as possible during open hours.
I'm not a regular patient, can I still come in for a dental emergency?
Absolutely! We welcome new patients and are happy to provide emergency dental care to anyone in need.
My child chipped their tooth, what should I do?
