When to contact us
Don’t wait and hope
the pain passes.
Dental pain is your body’s way of telling you something needs attention. It may come from decay, infection, trauma or damage to a tooth or restoration. A prompt assessment can identify the cause and help prevent the problem from becoming more difficult to manage.
Pain that keeps you awake or affects daily life
Swelling around a tooth, gum, jaw or face
A broken, loose or knocked-out tooth
Bleeding that does not settle
Common dental emergencies
Care for the problem in front of you.
Every emergency is different. We focus first on understanding what has happened and what you need now.
Severe toothache
Persistent or worsening pain can point to decay, a cracked tooth or infection. An assessment helps identify the cause and the right next step.
Swelling or infection
Facial or gum swelling needs prompt attention. Contact us as soon as possible so the team can advise you and arrange an assessment.
Broken tooth or filling
A fracture or lost restoration can leave a tooth sensitive and vulnerable. We can assess the damage and discuss repair options.
Dental injury
If a tooth has been loosened, displaced or knocked out, call immediately. Fast professional advice can be important after dental trauma.
Lost crown or bridge
Keep the restoration safe and avoid forcing it back into place. We will check the tooth and advise whether it can be refitted or replaced.
Post-treatment concern
Unexpected pain, bleeding or swelling after dental treatment should be checked. Our dental team can advise what is normal and what needs attention.
