What is Emergency Dental Care?
A dental emergency can strike at any time, whether it is sudden tooth pain, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost filling or swelling. Emergency dental care focuses on relieving your pain quickly and protecting your tooth so a small problem does not become a bigger one.
At Moonee Ponds Smiles we keep time aside for same-day emergency appointments. Our caring team will get you comfortable, diagnose the problem and explain your treatment options clearly.
Why Choose Us?
When you are in pain, the last thing you need is to wait. We prioritise emergency patients and aim to see you as soon as possible, often on the same day.
Our experienced dentists treat every emergency with a calm, gentle approach and honest advice, so you always understand what is happening and why. We accept all major health funds and offer flexible payment options.
Who is a good candidate?
Severe or persistent toothache
A knocked-out or dislodged tooth
A broken, chipped or cracked tooth
A lost or broken filling or crown
Facial swelling or a dental abscess
Bleeding, trauma or a sports injury to the mouth
After your visit
Some tenderness is normal after emergency treatment and usually settles over the following days.
Mild swelling or sensitivity can occur and typically eases as the area heals.
Sticking to the instructions and any medication provided supports a smooth recovery.
If pain, swelling or bleeding increases rather than improves, contact us promptly.
Attending any recommended follow-up appointments helps fully restore and protect your tooth.
Long-term care
Follow your aftercare instructions
Stick to the specific advice your dentist provides for your situation.
Eat gently at first
Choose soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side while it settles.
Keep the area clean
Gently maintain your oral hygiene to help prevent infection during healing.
Attend your follow-up
Complete any further treatment recommended to fully protect your tooth.
Call us if you are worried
If symptoms worsen or you are unsure what to do, contact the clinic straight away.
Acting quickly in a dental emergency gives your tooth the best chance of being saved. When in doubt, call us.
