What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment
- Quick check in and symptom review
We start by understanding your pain, timing, triggers, and any swelling or trauma history. - Targeted examination
We examine the tooth, gums and bite, and check for cracks, infection signs and gum involvement. - X rays if required
X rays may be recommended if we need to see infection, root issues, hidden decay or trauma damage. - Relief and stabilisation
We focus on the safest way to ease discomfort and stop the problem from escalating. - Clear plan and follow up
Some cases can be resolved quickly, while others need staged care. We will explain timelines, options and costs clearly.
What to Do Right Now (Before You Arrive)
Toothache
Swelling
Do not apply heat. Use a cold pack on the outside of the cheek and contact us urgently.
Broken tooth
Keep any fragments, avoid hard foods, and call. If there is bleeding, apply gentle pressure with gauze.
Knocked out tooth
Time matters. Handle the tooth by the crown only, keep it moist (milk or saliva), and call immediately.
Aftercare and Ongoing Prevention
Emergency care solves the urgent problem, but long term comfort often requires prevention and follow up.
We may recommend a review appointment to confirm healing, check gum health, and plan restorative treatment such as a crown or filling. We will also guide you on home care, diet and habits that reduce the chance of recurrence.

FAQs
Surely, you can find the best answers to common concerns about our clinic and the treatments available.
Can you see me today?
We prioritise urgent cases where possible. Call us on 07 4059 2291 and we will advise the earliest suitable time.
Will the emergency visit fix everything in one appointment?
Sometimes yes, but not always. Some issues need staged treatment. We will stabilise the problem first and then outline the safest plan.
Is swelling a serious sign?
Swelling can indicate infection and should be assessed quickly, especially if it is increasing or you feel unwell.
What if my pain comes and goes?
Intermittent pain can still indicate decay, cracks or infection. It is best to assess early before it escalates.
Will emergency treatment be painful?
Our priority is gentle care. We aim to relieve discomfort first and keep treatment as comfortable as possible.
Do you offer payment options?
Yes, we can discuss payment plans and options for eligible treatment plans.
