When To Call Us About a Dental Emergency

Some dental issues can wait until your next routine check-up. Others can’t. For trauma involving the jaw, head, or significant facial injury, attend your nearest emergency department. Give the clinic a call as soon as possible if you’re experiencing:

  • Severe toothache that isn't easing with over-the-counter pain relief
  • A broken, cracked or knocked-out tooth
  • A filling, crown or bridge that has come loose or fallen out
  • Bleeding gums that don't settle with gentle pressure
  • Facial swelling around a tooth or in the jaw
  • Trauma to the mouth or jaw from a fall or sporting injury
  • A dental abscess, or a tooth that feels significantly different to bite on

What to do for severe tooth pain while you wait

A dental pain emergency can usually wait the few hours it takes to reach the clinic, and the following can help ease the situation in the meantime:

  • Rinse with warm salt water to reduce inflammation
  • Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if there's swelling
  • Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packet, if it's safe for you to do so
  • Avoid chewing on the affected side, and stick to soft foods
  • If a tooth has been knocked out, store it in milk or saliva (not water) and bring it with you to the appointment.

Emergency dental costs & payment options

Emergency appointments are a hard thing to budget for, because you don’t know what your case needs until you’ve been seen. We understand this, which is why all major health funds are accepted via HICAPS, and patients with extras cover may be able to claim a portion of their emergency treatment back on the day. We are also preferred provider for nib and CBHS.

If the upfront cost is a barrier to having the treatment done, the team can arrange a flexible payment plan through Afterpay or Zip Pay, so the cost can be spread out. Emergency dental work doesn’t have to be paid in one go.
