What We See Urgently

Urgent Dental Problems We Assess

Each symptom below has a different cause and a different level of urgency. Our team will examine the problem, take an X-ray if it is needed, and explain what can be done — today or over the coming visits.

Severe Tooth Pain

Throbbing, sharp or persistent pain that won't settle, or pain that wakes you at night. Common causes include deep decay, a cracked tooth or infection. An examination and X-ray find the cause; you can read more about why tooth pain is worse at night.

Causes & what to do

Broken or Chipped Tooth

If you've broken or chipped a tooth, seeing a dentist for a broken tooth promptly can help prevent further damage and determine whether the tooth can be repaired. Same-day treatment may be available depending on the type of injury

Read our broken tooth guide

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out adult tooth needs immediate dental attention. Prompt care may improve the chance of saving it, but the outcome depends on the injury. A knocked-out baby tooth should not be put back in place. Read our broken and knocked-out tooth guide while you call us.

Act now — call immediately

Facial Swelling & Abscess

Swelling can indicate a spreading infection. Swelling near the eye, under the jaw, or with difficulty breathing or swallowing is an emergency — call 000. Otherwise call us as soon as we open so it can be assessed.

Urgent infection care

Lost Filling or Crown

Exposed tooth structure is sensitive and can change shape as it chips further. We'll assess the tooth and discuss how to protect it — for example a filling, bonding or a temporary repair.

Quick restoration

Jaw or Gum Injury

Trauma to gums, jaw, or soft tissues needs prompt attention. We provide thorough assessment and treatment.

Emergency assessment

Broken Dentures

A broken or damaged denture can make eating and speaking difficult. Bring the pieces with you so the denture can be assessed and repaired where possible.

Fast denture repair

Lost Veneers or Bonding

A lost or debonded veneer leaves your tooth exposed and sensitive. Keep the veneer if you have it and bring it with you. Where the tooth and veneer allow, we'll discuss recementing it; otherwise we'll review replacement options.

Repair options

Do You Need An Emergency Dentist?

Not every dental problem requires immediate treatment, but some situations shouldn't wait. If you're experiencing significant pain, swelling, dental trauma or uncontrolled bleeding, seeking prompt care can relieve discomfort and help prevent further complications. If you have already called us and are waiting for an appointment, this page explains how to care for the area in the meantime.

If you're unsure whether your situation is urgent, simply give our team a call. We'll explain what to do next and arrange an appointment as soon as possible.

Need a Seen as Soon as We Can?

Dental problems often get worse while you wait. If you're experiencing tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth or dental trauma, call our Underwood team. We'll check what is available — sometimes that is the same day, and sometimes it is the next opening we have. Either way, we'll tell you honestly how soon we can see you.

Step-by-Step Guide

What To Do in a Dental Emergency

Follow these steps immediately, then call us. Quick action can mean the difference between saving and losing a tooth.

1

Stay Calm

Take a deep breath. Panic won't help. Assess the situation calmly and gather any broken tooth fragments.

2

Rinse & Preserve

Rinse your mouth with warm water. For a knocked-out adult tooth, hold it by the crown and keep it in milk; do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back in. Seek urgent dental care either way.

3

Cold Compress

Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Use over-the-counter pain relief if needed — but don't apply aspirin directly.

4

Call Us NOW

Call (07) 3473 2721. The sooner the problem is assessed, the more treatment options usually remain. Same-day spaces are most likely early in the day.

⚠️ When to go to the hospital instead:

If you have difficulty breathing, severe bleeding that won't stop, or a broken jaw,  go directly to the nearest Emergency Department. For all other dental emergencies, call us first.
