Emergency dentist FAQs

Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?

Urgent cases are prioritised. Call the practice so we can guide you.

What should I do for a knocked-out tooth?

Call immediately. Hold the tooth by the crown and keep it moist in milk or saliva.

Is facial swelling urgent?

Yes. Swelling can be a sign of infection and should be checked quickly.

Can you fix a broken tooth?

Yes. Treatment depends on the break, pain and how much tooth is left.

Will emergency treatment hurt?

The aim is to get you comfortable. Local anaesthetic can be used where needed.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the problem and treatment needed. We explain costs before treatment.
