Fitzgibbon 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.

What To Expect at Your Fitzgibbon Emergency Visit
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
We bill privately, and being clear about pricing matters to us. You will always get an honest breakdown of the cost before we do any work, so the decision stays firmly in your hands.
- The type of problem
- Any diagnostic tests required (e.g. X-rays)
- Whether treatment can be completed at the same appointment
If you have private health cover, we will give you the item numbers you need to claim, and we can chat through payment plans if that makes things easier. The goal is to make getting care as painless as the treatment itself.
Emergency Dental Care for Children in Fitzgibbon
We regularly care for children in urgent situations, such as:
- Knocked-out or displaced teeth from falls or sports
- Dental trauma to baby teeth
- Toothache due to decay or infection
Caring for kids takes a gentle touch, and that is something we pride ourselves on. We will keep your child calm, work carefully, and make sure you know exactly what is happening throughout.

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.
