Swelling of the Gums

Multiple broken teeth or a chipped or cracked tooth

Toothache or a dental abscess
Jaw pain or a dull ache
Wisdom teeth pain

A workplace accident or sports injury to the mouth or jaw
Same-Day Emergency Appointment Procedure
Urgent Assessment of the Problem
Your dentist will discuss your dental problem with you and take a look to determine whether it is tooth pain, swelling, trauma, a broken tooth or another urgent concern.
We will discuss your symptoms, medical history and when the issue started so we can understand the problem quickly and recommend the right treatment.
Dental X-rays if Needed
During your appointment, your dentist may recommend X-rays. This helps us identify issues that may not be visible during an examination, such as infection, hidden decay, damage below the gum line, or trauma to the tooth roots and surrounding bone.
Immediate Pain Relief and Treatment
Our priority is to relieve discomfort and stabilise the problem as quickly as possible.
Treatment may include repairing a broken tooth, placing a temporary or permanent filling, prescribing medication, or other care needed to address the issue on the day.
Next Steps and Ongoing Care
Once the immediate problem has been managed, your dentist will create a personalised dental plan for any follow-up appointments.

The best first option will be to book in with your dentist at the earliest time available. If your dentist is unavailable for emergency dental care, then an after hours dental clinic might be more suitable.
However, if your dental emergency is more serious such as fractures or dislocations to your jaw, you should go to your local hospital emergency room straight away or call 000 if life-threatening.
