Emergency Dentist Brisbane

When dental emergencies strike, the pain and anxiety can be overwhelming for many—regardless of age. In Brisbane, QLD, compassionate emergency dental care is crucial to providing timely relief and ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients in distress. Immediate attention to dental emergencies can alleviate pain and prevent further complications that could affect long-term oral health.

Compassionate Emergency Dental Care in Brisbane

At Edward St Dental, our dedicated team understands the urgency and emotional stress associated with dental crises. Led by Dr Matthew Pulvirenti, Dr Ross Galloway, and Dr Malcolm Campbell, our team is committed to offering empathetic, professional care to help you through these challenging times. Whether it's a severe or persistent toothache, a broken tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, our goal is to provide you with prompt and effective treatment, ensuring your comfort and well-being every step of the way.

We understand that the definition of a dental emergency will vary from patient to patient, as an emergency means different things to different people. However, we think everyone agrees that the symptoms above indicate a true dental emergency. But from our years of dentistry work, we have observed that patients often contact us for same-day emergency care with the following symptoms:

• My tooth feels rough to my tongue without any pain. 
• My tooth is broken with or without associated pain. 
• I saw blood in my mouth when I brushed and flossed my teeth. 
• I lost my orthodontic retainer. 
• One of my teeth looks dark. 
• I am overdue for my check-up. 
• My breath has a foul odour. 
• I feel my wisdom teeth coming through. 

Regardless of your situation, the team at Edward St Dental assures you that we take all dental emergencies very seriously. In addition, we always set time aside in our schedule for emergency dental appointments. Our practice policy is to never turn away a client in need, and we guarantee to see your dental emergency on the day of contact.

When you arrive at the clinic with your emergency, our first measure is to diagnose your immediate discomfort, plan treatment if necessary and give you a cost estimate. We will not perform any treatment until you give your consent. Our priority will be to relieve your pain.

Our trained staff have extensive experience in the management of oro-facial pain. We understand the vulnerable circumstances this puts some patients in, and we are committed to showing empathy and concern. From our policy to never turn away a client in need, we will see you on the day of contact wherever possible.

Our Policy for Same-Day Dental Care

Our policy at Edward St Dental is to see patients who have a dental emergency on the day of contact, and it bears repeating. The best way to get an appointment is to telephone the practice during business hours. We invite you to call us on (07) 3221 5855.

Though we likely can’t guarantee a particular time of day, we will guarantee you a time when we can see you.

If your dental emergency occurs after hours, you can book online for when we open. You should find an opening as we leave emergency appointment times open on every business day. For less urgent circumstances, you can book an appointment online further in advance.

In most cases, you will only need one visit to resolve your pain. Though there are exceptions, they are infrequent at Edward St Dental. Our team’s experience with oro-facial pain gives us an advantage when treating it; in some cases, however, you may need follow-up visits to complete the dental treatment to ensure the problem does not return.

Often, we will be able to offer multiple treatment options with varying costs and outcomes. Part of our philosophy is that our patients make the best decisions for their dental health after we resolve the immediate pain and trauma.

We prefer to provide care for you first, get you feeling better, and then give you more time to determine the best path moving forward.
