Led by Dr Duong, an emergency dentist in Parkville, our team is equipped to address urgent dental issues with the care, expertise and speed they require.

Types of Dental Emergencies We Handle 

Dental emergencies come in various forms and can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and injury. Some of the common dental emergencies we handle include:

  • Severe toothache
  • Broken or chipped teeth
  • Lost or dislodged fillings or crowns
  • Abscessed gums or teeth
  • Soft tissue injuries (e.g., cut lips, tongue or cheeks)
  • Dislodged or knocked-out teeth

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

The first and most crucial step in a dental emergency is to seek immediate professional help. If you are experiencing extreme pain or have suffered a dental injury, we invite you to call our dental clinic as soon as possible. We strive to accommodate emergency cases with same-day appointments whenever possible.

While waiting for professional assistance, here are some general guidelines:

  • Severe Toothache: Rinse your mouth gently with warm water and avoid placing painkillers directly against the gums, as it may burn the gum tissue.
  • Broken or Chipped Teeth: Collect any broken pieces and rinse your mouth with warm water. Apply a cold compress to the affected area to minimise swelling.
  • Lost or Dislodged Fillings/Crowns: If possible, place the crown back over the tooth and seek immediate dental attention. Avoid chewing on the affected side.
