Dental problems don’t always happen at convenient times. At Sydney Emergency Dentist, we provide urgent dental care 24 hours a day so patients can get the help they need, even after hours. Patients from Manly, Neutral Bay, North Bridge, Mosman and Sydney rely on our team when unexpected issues arise.
Signs You May Have a Dental Emergency
Not every dental issue requires urgent attention, but some symptoms can indicate that you should see a dentist as soon as possible. These include:
- Severe or persistent tooth pain — Ongoing pain may suggest infection or decay that requires immediate care.
- Facial swelling or gum swelling — Swelling can be linked to infection, which should be addressed quickly.
- Knocked-out or loose teeth — Acting quickly can improve the chance of saving a tooth.
- Broken or fractured teeth — Exposed dentine or pulp may lead to sensitivity and infection if left untreated.
- Bleeding that does not stop — Ongoing bleeding after injury or dental treatment may require urgent care.
- Lost fillings, crowns or dental appliances — While not always painful, these can leave teeth vulnerable to further damage.
What to Do in an Emergency
If you notice any of the above symptoms, it’s important to:
- Please call us immediately. — Our Sydney dental clinic is available day and night to provide urgent advice and arrange treatment.
- Manage discomfort safely. — Over-the-counter pain relief and cold compresses may help until you are seen.
- Handle teeth carefully. — If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown (not the root) and place it in milk or saliva until you arrive at the clinic.
- Avoid delaying treatment. — Waiting may allow problems to worsen, making treatment more complex for some.
