Highgate Hill Dental Emergencies: When To Call Us

It is not always obvious what counts as an emergency. As a rule, call us if you are dealing with any of these:

• Severe or persistent toothache that does not respond to pain relief
• Facial swelling, especially around the jaw, cheek or eye
• Broken, cracked or chipped teeth, particularly if they are painful or sharp
• Knocked-out teeth, (avulsed teeth) following a fall or sports injury
• Dental abscess or infection (often with throbbing pain or a bad taste)
• Lost fillings or crowns, especially if the tooth is sensitive or painful
• Trauma to the mouth, lips or soft tissues

Still not sure how serious it is? That is completely normal. Give us a call and we will help you work out whether you need to come in today or whether it can safely wait a little longer.

How Your Emergency Visit Works in Highgate Hill

Getting you comfortable is step one. After that we take a close look at the tooth, use an x-ray if it is needed, and explain the situation without the jargon. We will set out your options and the costs involved so there are no surprises, then treat you the same visit whenever we can.

Fees, health funds & payment options

As a private practice, we are upfront about fees from the outset. Before we begin, you will know what the treatment costs and why, so you can decide with confidence and never feel caught off guard.

• The type of problem
• Any diagnostic tests required (e.g. X-rays)
• Whether treatment can be completed at the same appointment

Have private health insurance? We will supply the relevant item numbers so you can see your level of cover, and we can discuss flexible payment options where they help. Never let cost stop you from being seen.

When Your Child Has a Dental Emergency in Highgate Hill

We look after plenty of little patients in an emergency, including things like:

• Knocked-out or displaced teeth from falls or sports
• Dental trauma to baby teeth
• Toothache due to decay or infection

We are comfortable treating children and we take the time to keep them at ease. A dental emergency is worrying enough for a parent, so we handle little ones patiently and explain each step to you both.

If you find yourself in trouble after hours, do not panic. Ring us for direction on where to turn overnight, and we will make getting you in a priority the moment we are back open.

• For severe pain, swelling, trauma or uncontrolled bleeding, call 000 or attend your nearest hospital emergency department.

Frequently asked questions

How long can I wait with a toothache?

If you have persistent or severe toothache, you should seek care as soon as possible. Pain that doesn’t settle can indicate infection or nerve damage and usually won’t resolve on its own.

Do I need to see a dentist if the pain goes away?

Yes. Pain that comes and goes can still indicate an underlying problem. It’s best to have the tooth assessed to prevent a more serious emergency later.

Can you see me today?

We keep time aside for emergencies and will do our best to see you on the same day. Please call us early in the day if possible.

Do you accept health funds?

Yes, we can provide item numbers and receipts for your health fund and discuss estimates before treatment is carried out.
