Emergency Dentist Toowong: See Us When Pain Can't Wait
If you have intense pain or discomfort in your mouth, call Toowong Dental Group and we will make every effort to see you as soon as we can. Dental pain rarely settles on its own, and leaving it can let the problem grow, so it is worth getting checked early.
Our Toowong dentists treat urgent problems at our practice at 55 Sherwood Rd, Toowong, with six allocated car parks under the building. The car park entrance is off Jephson Street (height limit 1.79 m), and there is street parking nearby.
Signs you should call us
What to do in a dental emergency
Call us on (07) 3870 7617 as soon as you can. While you wait, these steps may help.
Severe toothache
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water.
- Floss gently around the tooth to remove any trapped food.
- Take pain relief as directed on the packet, and don't place aspirin on the gum.
- Hold a cold pack against your cheek for short periods.
- Call us for an appointment.
A knocked-out tooth
- Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part), never the root.
- If it is dirty, rinse it briefly with milk or saline. Don't scrub it or use tap water for long.
- If you can, gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it.
- If you can't, keep it in a small container of milk.
- Call us straight away and bring the tooth with you.
Swelling in your face or gum
- Hold a cold pack against the outside of your cheek.
- Rinse gently with warm salt water.
- Don't put heat on the swelling.
- Call us today.
- If swelling spreads or makes it hard to breathe or swallow, call 000 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department.
A broken or chipped tooth
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Keep any broken pieces in milk or saline, and bring them with you.
- Cover any sharp edge with sugar-free gum or dental wax.
- Use a cold pack on your cheek if it is swollen.
- Call us for an appointment.
A lost filling or crown
- Keep the crown or filling safe and bring it with you.
- Clean the crown gently and, if you can, sit it back on the tooth.
- Don't use super glue.
- Avoid chewing on that side.
- Call us for an appointment.
Emergency offer terms
The Emergency Dental Appointment is a single visit at Toowong Dental Group for a fixed, capped fee of $299 (or less). It is for a person with a dental emergency, such as toothache, swelling or a painful area in the mouth, who needs urgent assessment and treatment.
What the $299 fee covers
The fee covers the following services for the one concerning area only. ADA Schedule item numbers are shown where they apply.
Item 013: Limited oral examination
A focused examination of the area of concern, not a full check-up of your whole mouth.
Item 022: Intraoral periapical x-ray
Where the dentist considers it clinically necessary, an x-ray of the concerning area. Additional x-rays are included only if the dentist considers them necessary to diagnose that area.
Item 311: Dental extraction, non-surgical
Removal of the problem tooth where the dentist considers it appropriate, without surgery (no cutting of the gum, bone removal or sectioning of the tooth).
Item 419: Extirpation of pulp or debridement of root canal(s)
Removal of the pulp, or cleaning out of the root canal(s), of the problem tooth to relieve pain, with a temporary dressing.
We will not provide a treatment unless it is clinically appropriate for you, and we may provide only one of them, or a different general treatment, to settle the emergency. Local anaesthetic needed for the treatment is included.
Toothache won't wait. Call us now.
Call (07) 3870 7617 for a same-day appointment. One visit, capped at $299. T&Cs apply.
In a life-threatening emergency, call 000
