Urgent care

Dental emergency

If you have a dental emergency, call us straight away on (03) 9826 2220 for immediate attention, or send an enquiry below. We offer same-day emergency appointments and are open Monday to Saturday.

We can help with

• Toothache and dental pain
• Abscessed tooth
• Gum infection
• Broken front teeth
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Broken dentures
• Lost fillings

We accept most dental insurance and offer flexible payment options if you don't have cover. Our reputation for treating nervous patients has been built on a caring, patient-centred approach, and our dentists aim to get you out of pain quickly and at a reasonable cost.

If a tooth is knocked out

• If it's loose but still attached, leave it in place; don't remove it.
• If it's out of its socket but still in the mouth, hold it there if possible until we can see you.
• If it's out of the mouth, don't let it dry out and handle it as little as possible; don't scrub it or try to disinfect it. Call us immediately.
• If it's been on the ground, rinse it gently in lukewarm water and keep it in milk until we can see it (lukewarm water if milk isn't available).
• Time matters: the chance of successful re-implantation starts to decline after about 30 minutes, though it may still be possible after several hours.

After hours, leave a voicemail and we'll call you back, or go to the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne, 720 Swanston Street, Carlton VIC 3053, (03) 9341 1000.
