Questions about urgent appointments

What should I do with a knocked-out tooth?

Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline without scrubbing. Try to reinsert it into the socket; if not, keep it moist in milk or between the cheek and gum. Seek emergency dental care immediately: the sooner treatment begins, the better the outlook.

How do I manage a toothache before my appointment?

Rinse with warm salt water. Over-the-counter pain relief may help in the short term. Don’t place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum. Contact us to arrange an appointment as soon as possible.

I have lost a filling or crown. What now?

Temporary dental cement, available from most pharmacies, can protect the tooth until your appointment. Avoid chewing on the affected side, and call us to book.

Severe swelling or trouble breathing? Call 000.

If you have significant facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or feel unwell alongside dental symptoms, please go to your nearest hospital emergency department or call 000.
