Emergency Dentist

What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that causes severe pain, risks lasting damage to a tooth, or involves swelling that is spreading. Toothache that keeps you up at night, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a swollen jaw, or a lost crown or filling that leaves you in discomfort all count. If you're not sure whether what you're experiencing is urgent, call us and we can advise.

What happens at your emergency appointment

We prioritise getting you out of pain. When you arrive, your dentist will assess the area, take digital X-rays if needed, and explain what is causing the problem. In most cases we can begin treatment the same day, whether that means a sedative dressing, a simple extraction, draining an abscess, or repairing a broken tooth with a temporary crown. We'll tell you exactly what we plan to do and confirm the cost before starting any work.

Dental emergencies we treat

We see patients for a wide range of urgent dental problems. Severe toothache, dental abscesses, and infections are among the most common. We also treat teeth that have been knocked out or cracked, lost or broken fillings, crowns that have come away, and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth. Facial swelling and pain when biting or swallowing are treated as a priority.
