After-Hours and Weekend Emergency Care

Dental problems do not always happen during business hours.
  • We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible.
  • Extended and weekend appointments are available for urgent cases, including wisdom tooth pain and broken teeth, subject to the day’s bookings.
  • Online booking is available 24/7 so you can request an appointment at any time.
If your situation is life-threatening or you suspect a broken jaw, heavy bleeding or serious facial injury, please go straight to your nearest hospital emergency department or call 000 before contacting the practice.

What To Do Before You Arrive?

Severe Toothache

  • Rinse your mouth gently with warm salty water.
  • Take over-the-counter pain relief if you can, following the instructions on the packet.
  • Avoid aspirin if there is swelling, as it may increase bleeding.
  • Call us as soon as possible so we can arrange an emergency appointment.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

  • Save any broken pieces of tooth, if possible.
  • Rinse your mouth gently and avoid chewing on the injured side.
  • If the area is bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze or a soft cloth.
  • Contact Dental Nook promptly so we can assess and repair the tooth.

Knocked-Out Adult Tooth

  • Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root.
  • If it is dirty, rinse quickly with cold water for a few seconds.
  • If you can, gently place the tooth back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place.
  • If you cannot reinsert it, keep the tooth in milk or saline.
  • Call our practice immediately for an emergency appointment and bring the tooth with you.

Gum Infection or Facial Swelling

  • Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling.
  • Apply a cold compress on the outside of your cheek – do not apply heat.
  • Do not press or poke the swollen area.
  • Contact us urgently. In many cases we may need to clean the area, drain infection or prescribe antibiotics to prevent complications.

Ongoing Bleeding After an Extraction or Trauma

  • Rinse gently with cool water.
  • Place a clean cloth or gauze pad over the area and apply firm pressure for at least 15–20 minutes without checking too often.
  • Avoid spitting forcefully, drinking through a straw or smoking, as this can disturb the clot.
  • If bleeding does not slow after 15–20 minutes, call our practice or go straight to the nearest emergency department.

Emergency Dental Care for Children

Children are especially prone to dental injuries from sport, playground falls and everyday accidents. Our team is very experienced in caring for anxious and injured children and will always prioritise comfort and clear communication with both child and parent.
To help reduce the risk of serious injury:
  • Encourage children not to run around pool edges or jump from moving swings.
  • Use well-fitted mouthguards and helmets for contact or high-impact sports.
  • See a dentist promptly for any knocked-out, broken or loosened tooth.
If your child is eligible for the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS), let our reception team know when booking so we can discuss how this may apply to their emergency visit.

Costs, Health Funds and Payment Options

Emergency dental treatment can vary in complexity, from a simple filling to more involved procedures such as root canal treatment or extractions.
  • Before starting any treatment, your dentist will explain the findings and provide a tailored estimate of fees.
  • We can give you a general range over the phone for common emergency procedures, but exact costs depend on the tooth involved, the type of treatment and any additional care required.
  • If you have a private health fund, we can provide an itemised treatment plan so you can check your rebates.
  • For larger treatment plans, our team can discuss flexible payment options and, where appropriate, options such as early access to superannuation or third-party payment plans.
Our goal is to relieve your pain quickly while helping you understand the costs before treatment begins whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any problem that needs urgent attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding or save a tooth. Common examples are severe toothache, facial swelling, dental abscess, knocked out tooth, broken or cracked tooth, injuries to the lips or gums and trauma from accidents or sport.
Go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 000 if you suspect a broken jaw, have heavy bleeding that does not slow after 15 to 20 minutes of firm pressure, trouble breathing or swallowing, or any head or facial injury that may be serious. For all other urgent dental problems, contact Dental Nook first.
Yes. We keep appointments aside on selected evenings and weekends for urgent cases, subject to availability. If you are in pain or have broken a tooth, call the practice and we will do our best to see you as soon as possible. You can also request an appointment online at any time.
Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. Gently rinse it with cold water only. If you can, place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place. If that is not possible, keep it in milk or saline and contact us immediately so we can assess the tooth and your injury.
Absolutely. We regularly treat children for emergencies such as knocked out teeth, broken teeth, swollen gums and toothache. Our team takes extra care to explain things gently, keep visits calm and make children feel safe.
Costs depend on what is required to manage your emergency. Simple issues such as minor fillings or smoothing a chipped edge will cost less than more complex care like root canal treatment or extractions. Your dentist will explain findings and provide an estimate before treatment begins whenever possible, and our reception team can help you understand any health fund rebates.
If your child is eligible for CDBS, some urgent treatments may be covered under the program limits for basic dental services. Let our reception team know your child’s Medicare details when you book so eligibility can be checked and any available benefits can be applied.
For larger treatment plans we can discuss flexible payment options and available finance pathways that may help spread the cost. Our goal is to relieve your pain quickly and then work with you on a plan that suits your budget.
Yes. If you are worried, call us. Our team can ask a few quick questions and let you know whether you need to come in urgently, book the next available appointment or monitor your symptoms at home.
Regular check ups, daily brushing and flossing, mouthguards for sport and early treatment of small problems all help prevent emergencies. At the end of your urgent visit your dentist will suggest a follow up plan to keep your teeth and gums healthy and reduce the chance of another emergency.
