The Panic and Pain of a Dental Emergency

There is nothing worse than the sudden, sharp pain of a dental emergency. A severe toothache can be debilitating, making it impossible to eat, sleep, or concentrate. An accident that results in a broken or knocked-out tooth can be a traumatic and time-sensitive situation, where every minute counts. You might be unsure of what to do, who to call, or how you will afford the treatment.

If you’ve had an accident, navigating the ACC process can seem confusing and add extra stress to an already difficult situation. You might worry that you won’t be able to see a dentist quickly, leading to the risk of further complications, such as infection or the permanent loss of a tooth. This uncertainty and pain can be overwhelming, and you need a clear, calm, and immediate solution.

Prompt, Compassionate Emergency & ACC Care

At West Harbour Dental, we are fully equipped to handle your dental emergency with speed and compassion. Our team is trained to manage urgent situations, from providing immediate pain relief to performing complex emergency procedures. We will do everything we can to see you on the same day to address your emergency.

We provide clear guidance and expert treatment for all urgent dental needs:

Emergency Dental Care

We are here to help with any urgent dental issue. Our team can provide immediate relief and treatment for severe toothaches, dental abscesses (including drainage and antibiotic prescriptions), broken teeth, and lost fillings or crowns. Our primary goal is to get you out of pain and stabilise the situation.

If your dental injury is the result of an accident, we are here to help. As registered ACC providers, we can treat your injury, help you with the claim process, and ensure you receive the subsidised care you are entitled to. This includes treatment for teeth that have been chipped, loosened, or knocked out due to an impact.

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Call Us Immediately

Contact our clinic on 09 416 9619. The sooner you call, the sooner we can help.

Knocked-Out Tooth

If an adult tooth is knocked out, handle it only by the crown (the chewing surface). Do not touch the root. If possible, gently rinse it with milk (not water) and try to place it back in the socket. If you can’t, store it in a small container of milk or in your cheek and get to our clinic within 30-60 minutes.

Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm, salty water and take over-the-counter pain relief if necessary, but avoid placing it directly on the gums.
