Common Emergency Situations We Treat
Dental Pain
Sudden or ongoing pain can stem from decay, nerve involvement, cracked teeth or infection. We’ll assess the cause, provide pain relief, and plan for appropriate next steps.
Infection or Abscess
Signs of infection may include facial swelling, tenderness, a bad taste or fever. Early management is important to prevent complications.
Swelling or Facial Trauma
Any swelling of the jaw, cheek or lips following dental trauma requires urgent review to assess for fractures, soft tissue damage, or infection.
Accidents or Sporting Injuries
We treat knocked-out or displaced teeth, fractured teeth, and oral injuries sustained from falls or contact sports. Bring any tooth fragments or the tooth itself (kept in milk or saline).
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
- Stay calm and call our clinic as soon as possible
- Preserve any knocked-out teeth or fragments (in milk or saline)
- Apply cold packs to reduce swelling if present
- Avoid applying heat to the area
- Do not self-medicate without professional advice
Integrated Emergency Care On-Site
At Better Smiles, we offer more than just general emergency care — our on-site specialists can assist with surgical extractions, complex trauma, or implant-related concerns. Sedation is also available for patients in distress or undergoing emergency procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We reserve time each day specifically for emergency patients. If you're in pain or have experienced dental trauma, we recommend calling us as early in the day as possible so we can assess and accommodate you promptly.
If a tooth is knocked out, gently rinse it in saline or milk without scrubbing, and try to place it back in the socket. If this isn't possible, keep it in a container of milk or saline and contact us immediately. Time is critical in these situations, so call our clinic right away.
Swelling, especially if accompanied by pain, fever, or a bad taste, may indicate an infection or abscess. These situations require urgent attention. Please contact our clinic as soon as you notice any swelling or persistent discomfort.
Yes. If you're anxious, in severe discomfort, or require a longer or complex emergency procedure, we offer sedation options. Suitability for sedation will be assessed by your dentist during the emergency appointment.
Emergency dental care may be partially covered by your private health insurance, depending on your level of cover. We offer on-the-spot HICAPS claiming to help you access any available rebate immediately after your visit.
If you experience a dental emergency outside of our clinic hours, we recommend seeking assistance through your local emergency department if urgent. You can also leave us a voicemail or send an email, and our team will contact you as soon as the clinic reopens to arrange care.
