If you’re dealing with pain, swelling, trauma, or a broken tooth, please contact us as soon as possible. We’re experienced in managing both children’s and adult dental emergencies with a focus on reassurance and evidence-based care.
When to Call Immediately
Please contact us urgently if you or your child experiences:
- Knocked-out tooth (baby or adult)
- Facial swelling or rapidly increasing pain
- Injury to the face, teeth, or mouth
- Bleeding that won’t stop
- Broken braces or wires causing discomfort
- Severe dental pain that interrupts sleep
If it’s after hours, you can still text us a photo of the issue so we can guide you on next steps.

FAQs: What to Do in Common Dental Emergencies
What should I do if an adult tooth is knocked out or traumatised?
- Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root).
- Gently rinse it with milk or saliva. Do not scrub or use tap water.
- If possible, reinsert it into the socket. If not, place it in milk, saliva, or a tooth-saving container.
- Seek emergency care within 30–60 minutes for the best outcome.
What happens if a baby tooth is injured or traumatised?
- Do not reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth—it can affect the adult tooth beneath.
- Clean the area gently with water.
- Watch for swelling, discolouration, or discomfort.
- Contact us promptly for advice and follow-up planning.
