What is a dental emergency?

The term emergency means different things to different people, and it's impossible to cover every possible scenario that might lead to the need for urgent care. However, you can follow a few rules of thumb, starting with which conditions are almost always a dental emergency:

  • Avulsed or knocked out tooth
  • A broken or completely fractured tooth
  • Severe toothache
  • Persistent bleeding

If you've experienced these, we recommend you call your emergency dentist in Brisbane without delay.

Common Dental Emergencies We Treat at Edward St Dental

Often when patients feel less pronounced symptoms, they may delay seeking care until the problem presents as listed above. Instead, our dental team recommends you contact us in case of the following:

  • Bleeding or swollen gums
  • Lost or broken filling or other restoration
  • Lost orthodontic retainer
  • Dark spot on a tooth
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Jaw joint pain or soreness

At Edward St Dental in Brisbane, our aim is to relieve your pain and stabilise your situation. Each day we have time set aside and dedicated to responding to emergency dental needs. We will not perform any treatment until you give your consent.
