Prompt Dental Care When You Need It Most

Dealing with intense tooth pain, facial swelling or an injured tooth can be distressing, especially when the problem appears without warning. Dental emergencies should be assessed promptly to identify the cause, ease discomfort and reduce the risk of the condition becoming more difficult to treat.

Patients looking for an emergency dentist can contact Quay Dental for help with:

  • Severe or persistent toothache
  • A knocked-out adult tooth
  • Cracked, chipped or broken teeth
  • Dental trauma following an accident
  • Bleeding from the teeth, gums or mouth
  • Pain around a wisdom tooth
  • Dental infection or an abscess
  • Swelling affecting the gums, jaw or face
  • Other urgent dental concerns

Our dental team will examine the affected area and may take an X-ray to understand what is causing the problem. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve relieving pain, repairing the tooth, managing an infection or discussing services such as root canal treatment, tooth extractions or wisdom teeth removal.

We understand that dental problems do not always fit neatly into your daily routine. Our team will explain the available appointment options and provide practical advice on what to do before you arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

A dental problem may require urgent attention when it causes severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, noticeable swelling or trauma to the teeth, gums or mouth. Knocked-out adult teeth, significant fractures and suspected abscesses should also be assessed promptly. Early treatment may help relieve discomfort and reduce the likelihood of further damage.

 

What Are Four Common Dental Emergencies?

Four frequently seen emergencies are severe toothache, a knocked-out adult tooth, a cracked or broken tooth and a dental infection or abscess. Other urgent concerns can include facial swelling, bleeding that does not stop, loose teeth after an injury and significant wisdom tooth pain.

 

How Do I Know Whether My Tooth Needs Urgent Care?

Seek prompt dental advice if pain is severe, keeps returning or interferes with eating or sleeping. You should also arrange an assessment when a tooth becomes loose, cracked or displaced, or when you notice swelling, fever, a bad taste or pain when biting.

What Are the Signs That a Dental Infection May Be Spreading?

Warning signs can include increasing facial or jaw swelling, fever, worsening throbbing pain, a bad taste, difficulty swallowing or swelling extending towards the eye or neck. Breathing, speaking or swallowing difficulties require emergency medical care—call 000 or go to the nearest emergency department.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Manu. She is incredibly friendly and made my child feel completely at ease during the filling procedure. Their gentle approach and patience made all the difference, turning what could have been a stressful visit into a positive one. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great, kid-friendly dentist.
