What is a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is typically unexpected, and requires urgent treatment to relieve pain and restore your mouth’s full function. While most emergencies can’t be avoided, you can rely on our emergency dentists for fast and efficient help. We prioritise your comfort and health, ensuring you’re in safe hands whether you need an emergency extraction, high-quality repair or immediate personalised advice.

A dental emergency could take any of the following forms:

  • A tooth that has been knocked out, fractured, or severely damaged tooth
  • Severe or sudden pain in any part of your mouth
  • Extreme swelling or an abscess in your gum or face
  • Bleeding from your mouth that will not stop
