How we help
What happens when you call
02 Assessment and pain relief
Your dentist will examine your mouth and may take x-rays to find the cause. If you’re in pain, managing it is a priority, using local anaesthetic or other pain relief where appropriate.
03 Treatment and follow-up
Your dentist will explain your options, including the risks, benefits and costs, before treatment goes ahead. Some emergencies can be treated on the day, while others may need a follow-up appointment.

Before you get to us
What to do in a dental emergency
These first steps may help while you wait to see the dentist.
Knocked-out adult tooth +
Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or water. If you can, gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If not, store it in milk and call us straight away. Don’t try to put a baby tooth back in.
Chipped or broken tooth +
Rinse your mouth with warm water and keep any broken pieces. A cold compress on the outside of your cheek may help with swelling.
Toothache or swelling +
Rinse with warm water and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the label. Don’t place aspirin directly on your gums. If swelling spreads or you develop a fever, seek care promptly.
Bleeding or soft tissue injury +
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for 10–15 minutes. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, go to your nearest emergency department.
