Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes issues like severe tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding. If you’re in significant discomfort or something feels urgent, it’s best to contact us as soon as possible so we can assess the situation.
Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?
Yes, we keep dedicated daily emergency appointments available to help patients in pain. Our goal is to see you as quickly as possible and relieve discomfort without unnecessary delays.
What should I do if I have a severe toothache?
Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and gently floss around the area to remove any trapped debris. Avoid placing heat on the area, and contact our clinic so we can arrange an urgent appointment.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Try to handle the tooth by the crown (top part) only and gently rinse it if dirty. If possible, place it back in the socket or keep it in milk and contact us immediately, as timing is critical.
Can a broken or chipped tooth be repaired?
Yes, in many cases broken or chipped teeth can be repaired with bonding, fillings, or crowns depending on the severity. We will assess the damage and recommend the most suitable treatment.
Do I need to be a regular patient to book an emergency appointment?
No, you don’t need to be an existing patient to access emergency care. We welcome both new and existing patients who need urgent dental treatment.
What should I do if I have swelling in my face or gums?
Facial or gum swelling can be a sign of infection and should be assessed promptly. Contact our clinic as soon as possible so we can determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
What if my emergency happens outside normal hours?
If your emergency occurs outside clinic hours, call our practice number for guidance. We will provide advice on next steps and help arrange care as soon as possible.
