What to do in a dental emergency
Call us as soon as possible
Contact our Yass or Murrumbateman practice and tell us what has happened. We’ll assess how urgent the problem is and arrange the earliest available appointment.
Follow our advice until your appointment
Depending on the problem, our team may give you instructions on how to protect the tooth, manage bleeding or reduce the risk of further damage while you wait.
Come in for assessment and treatment
Your dentist will assess the problem, take X-rays where required and discuss the treatment needed to relieve symptoms and address the cause.
Call Us First
Phone our Yass or Murrumbateman practice as early in the day as possible. We'll assess the urgency, give you first-aid advice over the phone, and arrange the earliest available appointment.
Manage the Immediate Situation
We'll guide you on what to do while you wait — whether that's storing a knocked-out tooth in milk, rinsing with warm salty water, or applying gentle pressure to control bleeding.
Arrive for Your Appointment
Our team will be prepared for your arrival. We'll assess the problem, take any necessary X-rays, and discuss your treatment options clearly before proceeding.
Emergency Treatment
We address the immediate issue — whether that's relieving pain, treating infection, stabilising a broken tooth, or reimplanting a knocked-out tooth. Your comfort is our first priority.
Follow-up Care Plan
After emergency treatment, we'll outline any further steps needed to fully restore your tooth and prevent the problem from recurring.
First aid for common emergencies
Knocked-out Tooth
Handle the tooth only by the crown — not the root. If dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline. Try to reinsert it into the socket, or keep it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Get to us within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Cracked or Broken Tooth
Rinse with warm water and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to reduce swelling. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods, and call us to arrange an urgent assessment.
Abscess or Facial Swelling
A dental abscess is a serious infection requiring urgent treatment. If you experience significant facial swelling, difficulty swallowing, or a high fever, go to your nearest emergency department and call us immediately.
