Emergency Dental
Dental pain or trauma? We're here to help fast. We keep time aside for emergencies and aim to see you the same day for urgent relief.
Overview
About Emergency Dental
Dental emergencies are stressful and often painful — and they rarely happen at a convenient time. Whether you have severe toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess or an injury to your mouth, prompt care relieves pain and gives the best chance of saving the tooth. We keep appointments aside each day for emergencies and prioritise getting you seen quickly.
Our calm, caring team will get you comfortable, diagnose the problem and treat the cause — not just the symptoms. If you've knocked out an adult tooth, time is critical: keep it moist (in milk or your cheek, not water), avoid touching the root, and call us immediately.
