When To See an Emergency Dental Clinic in Fortitude Valley

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

When in doubt, pick up the phone. We would rather talk it through and put your mind at ease than have you sit at home worrying or in pain. We will guide you on the best next step.

Your Emergency Appointment in Fortitude Valley, Step by Step

When you come in, we settle the pain first and ask questions later. Once you are comfortable we examine the area, take any images we need, and walk you through exactly what is happening. You will get clear options and honest pricing, and nothing goes ahead until you say so. In most cases we can carry out the treatment the same day.

Fees, health funds & payment options

We keep pricing transparent. As a private practice, we go over the expected cost with you first, so you can weigh up your options and choose what is right for you.

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

We can provide item numbers for your private health fund so you can check what you are covered for, and we are happy to talk through payment options if you need to spread the cost. Just ask and we will help you sort it out.

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.
