Same-Day Care
In pain? We'll fit you in today
Dental pain can appear suddenly and make it difficult to eat, sleep or concentrate. We provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible for toothache, facial swelling, broken teeth, dental infections, knocked-out teeth and other urgent concerns.
Call us early on (02) 9677 1172 and explain what has happened. Our team will assess the urgency, give immediate advice and arrange the earliest available appointment. We keep time available for emergencies and do not charge an emergency surcharge.
We're open Monday to Friday until 7pm for added convenience.

When To Call
When should you contact an emergency dentist?
Contact our Mount Druitt emergency dentist if you have:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Facial or gum swelling
- A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
- A knocked-out adult tooth
- A loose tooth after an injury
- A dental abscess or infection
- Bleeding that does not stop
- A broken filling or crown causing pain
- Trauma to the teeth, gums or jaw
Even if pain improves, the underlying problem may still need treatment.
Seek Urgent Medical Help
Go to a hospital emergency department if:
- Swelling affects your breathing or swallowing
- You have major facial trauma
- You feel seriously unwell
For these situations, hospital care comes first — call Triple Zero (000) if it's severe.
Common Emergencies
What to do, and how we treat it
Toothache & infection
Toothache may be caused by decay, a cracked tooth, an infected nerve, gum disease, an abscess or a damaged filling. Your dentist will examine the area and may take an X-ray.
Knocked-out tooth
A knocked-out adult tooth is time-sensitive — call us immediately and come in as quickly as possible. Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline without scrubbing, and if possible place it back into the socket.
Chipped, cracked or broken teeth
A damaged tooth may be painful, sensitive or sharp. Rinse your mouth gently and keep any broken pieces. Avoid chewing on the affected side and contact us promptly.
What To Expect
At your appointment
Call us first
Phone (02) 9677 1172 and describe your symptoms or injury. We'll triage your concern and advise what to do before arriving.
Examination & diagnosis
Your dentist will examine the area. An X-ray may be taken to check the tooth roots and surrounding tissues.
Relieve pain
Your first visit focuses on making you comfortable and stabilising the problem.
Plan the permanent solution
Some problems can be fully treated during the emergency appointment. Others may require a follow-up visit — we'll explain the recommended treatment and costs before continuing.
FAQs
Emergency questions, answered
Can I get a same-day appointment?
We keep appointments available for urgent problems and will do everything possible to see you the same day. Calling early gives us the best chance of fitting you in.
Do you charge an emergency surcharge?
No. Standard consultation, X-ray and treatment fees still apply.
What can I take for toothache?
Use an appropriate over-the-counter pain reliever according to the label and advice from your pharmacist or doctor. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
Should I go to a dentist or hospital for swelling?
Contact a dentist for localised swelling. Seek urgent hospital care if swelling affects breathing or swallowing, spreads quickly or is accompanied by severe illness.
Can a broken tooth be saved?
Many broken teeth can be repaired, especially when treated early. Treatment depends on the depth of the break and whether the nerve or root is affected.
What if a filling or crown falls out?
Keep it if possible, avoid chewing on that side and contact us. Do not use household glue to reattach it.
