Toothache, broken tooth, swelling — don't white-knuckle it until Monday. We reserve emergency time in the book six days a week. One call, and we'll triage you on the phone.
Tap what's closest — we'll tell you what it usually means, and what to do in the next hour.
Constant throbbing (worse at night) usually means the nerve inside the tooth is inflamed or infected. Caught today, you keep options; left for weeks, it becomes a root canal or extraction. Rinse with warm salt water, take your usual pain relief exactly as the packet directs, and call us.
Keep any pieces in milk, rinse gently, and cover a sharp edge with sugar-free gum or dental wax. A crack that doesn't hurt yet can still reach the nerve — prompt assessment usually means a smaller fix.
Hold the tooth by the crown — never the root. Rinse briefly in milk if dirty, put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk or inside your cheek. The first 30–60 minutes give the best chance of saving it. Call as you travel.
Don't apply heat to your face. Swelling with a bad taste or a gum "pimple" points to infection that can spread — it needs same-day care. If swelling ever affects your breathing or swallowing, go straight to hospital or call 000.
Avoid chewing on that side and book promptly: an exposed tooth gets painful and decays fast. Re-cementing a crown is quick when you come in early.
Pressure, swollen gum or pain behind your last molar is commonly an erupting or impacted wisdom tooth. We'll image it today and tell you honestly whether it needs removing or just watching.
Describe the pain. Urgent cases jump the queue — a knocked-out tooth beats a lost filling. Your slot is reserved before you hang up.
A digital x-ray finds the actual cause. You'll know exactly what's wrong — in plain English or Mandarin — before anything happens.
First priority is comfort, today. You leave knowing exactly what happened and what, if anything, comes next — nothing proceeds without your OK.
Being in pain is stressful enough. Every emergency visit is built around keeping you calm, comfortable and in control — from the first phone call.
Nothing proceeds without your OK — every option is explained and approved by you before we begin. Health funds are claimed on the spot with HICAPS.
Dr Katrina Zhao (BDS, University of Adelaide) is known for being especially gentle with anxious patients — the area is fully numb before anything happens, and nothing proceeds without your OK.
