Who May Need Emergency Dental Care
Severe or sudden tooth pain
Broken, chipped, or knocked-out tooth
Swelling in the gums, jaw, or face
Bleeding that does not stop
Infection signs such as pus or bad taste
Lost fillings, crowns, or other dental restorations
A full assessment checks your symptoms, oral condition, and medical history before treatment begins. Care is prioritised based on pain level and urgency to provide fast relief and prevent further complications.
What to Do Before You Arrive
If you are dealing with a dental emergency right now, these simple steps can help manage the situation before your appointment:
Knocked-out tooth:
1
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline and keep it moist. Place it back in the socket if possible, or store it in milk. See a dentist within 30 to 60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Broken or chipped tooth
2
Toothache or swelling
3
Lost filling or crown
4
Dental wax or sugar-free gum can temporarily cover the area to reduce sensitivity until you are seen.
Call Just Smiles Dentistry as soon as possible so we can guide you further and get you in quickly.
How Emergency Dental Care Works at Just Smiles Dentistry
Most emergency visits at Just Smiles Dentistry are resolved within 1 to 2 appointments, with follow-up care scheduled where needed.
Here is what to expect:
Immediate Assessment
Pain Relief First
Urgent Treatment
Monitoring and Follow-Up Review
Restorative Care (If Required)
Preventive Guidance and Ongoing Care
Before you leave, we walk you through how to care for your teeth at home, what habits to avoid, and when to come back for a check-up so the same issue does not happen again.
Emergency Dental Treatment Options at Our Ashfield and Kensington Clinics
The right treatment depends on the type and severity of your dental emergency. Here is a simple overview of the most common options:
Temporary Pain Relief and Stabilisation
Tooth Repair Using Fillings, Bonding, or Crowns
Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth are assessed and repaired using the most appropriate method. Fillings handle minor damage, bonding restores shape and function, and crowns protect teeth with more significant fractures.
Infection Treatment and Root Canal Treatment
Dental infections need prompt attention to stop them spreading. Treatment may involve draining the infection, a course of medication, or root canal treatment to remove the infection and save the natural tooth.
