Emergency Dental Care
Dental problems can happen unexpectedly. If you have an urgent dental concern, contact the clinic as early as possible so the team can advise on the next steps and appointment availability.
Overview
About emergency dental care
Urgent dental concerns can include toothache, a broken or chipped tooth, a lost filling or crown, a knocked-out tooth, or swelling of the gums. When you contact the clinic, the team will ask about your symptoms to understand how urgently you need to be seen.
Appointment availability for urgent concerns cannot be guaranteed, but the team will aim to provide guidance and, where possible, arrange a suitable appointment.
Some symptoms need emergency medical care rather than a dental appointment. Please read the important note below.

FAQs
Questions about emergency dental care
General answers only. Your dentist can advise on your specific situation.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Contact a dental professional immediately, as time matters. Handle the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root, and seek professional advice on how to keep it moist until you are seen.
Can I be seen the same day?
This depends on availability and the nature of the problem. Contact the clinic as early as possible so the team can advise you.
What if the clinic is closed?
If your symptoms are severe, or include swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
