Emergency Dental Care

Dental Emergencies We Treat

If any of these sound like what you are going through right now, call 07 5547 6000. The team holds same-day time specifically for patients who need to be seen today — not next week.

  • Urgent

    Severe Toothache

    The kind of pain that wakes you at 3am and won't let you eat, sleep, or think straight.

  • Urgent

    Knocked-Out Tooth

    Every minute counts — seek care within 30–60 minutes to give the tooth the greatest chance of survival.

  • Cracked or Broken Tooth

    You bit down and something shifted — a visible crack, a sharp edge, or a piece that came away entirely.

  • Lost Filling or Crown

    Something fell out while you were eating and now the tooth feels rough, sharp, or sensitive to air.

  • Dental Abscess

    The swelling came on fast — throbbing pain, a hot face, or a pimple-like bump on the gum that won't go away.

  • Urgent

    Bleeding Gums

    Heavy or persistent bleeding after a knock, a bite, or for no obvious reason at all.

  • Dental Trauma

    An elbow during sport, a fall on the playground, an accident at work — any blow to the mouth, jaw, or face.

  • Jaw Pain or Swelling

    Swelling spreading through your jaw, neck, or face alongside dental pain — this may point to infection.

Time-Sensitive

Knocked-Out Tooth Here Is What to Do Right Now.

A knocked-out permanent tooth has the greatest chance of being saved when you reach a dentist within 30–60 minutes of the injury. These steps help protect the tooth while you get here.

  1. Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part) — do not touch the root.
  2. Rinse gently with clean water if dirty — do not scrub or use soap.
  3. Reinsert the tooth into the socket if you can, or store it in cold milk.
  4. Call 07 5547 6000 and let the team know you are on your way.

This guidance is for permanent (adult) teeth only. Do not attempt to reinsert a baby tooth.

Your Emergency Visit

What Happens When You Call

Three steps. No surprises. Here is exactly what to expect so you can picture the visit before you arrive.

Phone 07 5547 6000 and tell the team what happened. They will talk you through what to do right now and hold same-day time for you. No referral needed — just call.

02

Arrive for Your Assessment

Your dentist finds the source of the problem using digital X-rays or CBCT imaging, then explains what is going on in plain language. All fees are quoted before anything starts. You are welcome to ask questions, take your time, or bring someone with you.

03

Same-Appointment Treatment Where Possible

Many emergency situations — extractions, temporary restorations, abscess drainage — can be handled on the same visit. Your dentist discusses comfort options before beginning, and you can pause at any time. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Why Joyner Family Dental

We See Dental Emergencies Every Day — Yours Is Not the First

If it has been a while since your last visit, that is OK. Nobody here is counting the years.

Nearly half the patients who come in for emergency care have been putting off the dentist for a while. Life gets busy, anxiety builds, and then something breaks or starts hurting at the worst possible time. The team here understands that. There is no lecture waiting for you — just a calm assessment and honest options.

CBCT 3D imaging and digital X-rays are on-site, so your dentist can find the source of the problem and explain your options in a single visit. If you are feeling anxious, the room has a ceiling-mounted TV, noise-cancelling headphones, and a warm blanket — small things that make a real difference when you are already on edge.

All fees are discussed before any work begins. You will know what is happening, what it costs, and why — so you can make a clear decision even when you are uncomfortable.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Depending on the injury, same-day treatment may include root canal treatment to save an infected tooth, or a temporary crown restoration to protect it. If anxiety is making you hesitate, our sedation dentistry options can keep you calm and comfortable throughout.
