You can really tell that they care about your oral health and want the very best for every patient. They take the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and make you feel comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a dental team that genuinely cares about their patients!

A trip to the dentist and what a wonderful surprise. Three fillings later and no pain or discomfort at all. Dr Greta Manjunath is gentle, very proficient. I would highly recommend her to any nervous individual. You’ll leave with a bright smile. Alison.

Fell over and chipped my tooth while on holiday in Cairns. Was very fortunate to get an appointment the following work day with Dr Geeta. She did a great job. Very efficient and it didn’t hurt. I would definitely recommend her. Thankyou.

I can't recommend Alex highly enough. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel completely at ease with her warm, friendly manner and the time she took to explain everything clearly. She is incredibly gentle, meticulous, and genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcome. I recently had extensive dental work completed, and I was amazed at how comfortable the entire experience was. Alex's skill, attention to detail, and professionalism were evident every step of the way. The results have exceeded my expectations, both functionally and aesthetically. It's not often you come across someone who combines such technical excellence with genuine kindness and compassion. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone looking for an outstanding dentist. Thank you, Alex, for your exceptional work

My family have attended Clifton Family Dental for a few years now and the staff have always been very friendly, understanding and helpful. Dr Geeta has looked after my five children regularly and has shown gentleness, patience and always communicates with us to keep us feeling updated and comfortable. I would highly recommend Clifton Family Dental to anyone needing an exceptional dental experience.

Urgent Dental Care, Delivered with Comfort and Clarity

We prioritise your comfort first, then provide a straightforward diagnosis and treatment options to help you resolve the problem safely and confidently.
Fast
Relief, First
Our first goal is to reduce pain and pressure where possible, so you can function comfortably while we address the underlying issue.
Thorough
Assessment
We don’t guess. We assess the tooth and surrounding tissues carefully, and use X rays when clinically needed to understand the cause.
Clear
Next Steps
You’ll leave knowing what is happening and what comes next, whether it’s same visit treatment, medication support, or a planned follow up.
Gentle,
Calm Approach
If you are anxious, we slow down, explain step by step, and keep the experience as comfortable as possible.

When Is It a Dental Emergency

Not every dental problem needs urgent care, but some symptoms should be assessed quickly to prevent complications. You should contact us as soon as possible if you have:
  • Severe toothache that does not settle
  • Swelling of the gums, face or jaw
  • A broken tooth, chipped tooth with pain, or sharp edge cutting your cheek
  • Bleeding that does not stop after an injury
  • A knocked or loosened tooth from trauma
  • A lost crown or filling causing pain or sensitivity
  • A bad taste, discharge, or a “pimple” on the gum (possible infection)

If you feel unwell, have fever, or swelling is spreading, seek urgent medical support in addition to contacting us.

Common Emergency Treatments We Provide

Emergency visits are about stabilising the issue and preventing it from getting worse. Depending on what we find, treatment may include:
  • Pain relief and infection control advice
  • Temporary or definitive fillings
  • Management of cracked or broken teeth
  • Re cementing or replacing crowns (where suitable)
  • Assessment and management of dental infections
  • Root canal assessment or emergency relief procedures
  • Tooth extraction when a tooth cannot be saved
  • Trauma assessment for knocked or loosened teeth

Your treatment will always be based on what is clinically appropriate for your situation.

Your Local Dentist in Northern Beaches QLD

What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment

  1. Quick check in and symptom review
    We start by understanding your pain, timing, triggers, and any swelling or trauma history.
  2. Targeted examination
    We examine the tooth, gums and bite, and check for cracks, infection signs and gum involvement.
  3. X rays if required
    X rays may be recommended if we need to see infection, root issues, hidden decay or trauma damage.
  4. Relief and stabilisation
    We focus on the safest way to ease discomfort and stop the problem from escalating.
  5. 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

Rinse gently with warm salt water, avoid chewing on that side, and call us for an assessment.

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.
