Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Bondi Junction Clinic
Some of the most common emergencies we treat include:
- Infections often present with throbbing pain, swelling, fever, or difficulty opening the mouth. They usually stem from a decayed tooth or gum infection. We use digital X-rays and clinical testing to confirm the source. Antibiotics may help temporarily, but urgent dental treatment is needed to resolve the problem. Prompt care prevents spread to the jaw or face.
- Some bleeding is expected after dental surgery, but ongoing bleeding requires review. Applying pressure with gauze for 20 minutes may help. If not, stitches may be needed. We also provide clear aftercare instructions to support healing and prevent complications such as infection or dry socket.
- Lost restorations leave teeth sensitive and at risk of further damage. A crown that has fallen out may sometimes be re-cemented, but if broken it needs replacement. Temporary materials can protect the tooth until final treatment. Addressing the issue quickly helps avoid worsening pain or infection. At our Bondi Junction clinic, we prioritise urgent appointments so patients in pain are seen as quickly as possible.
- A tooth displaced by trauma needs urgent attention. We can sometimes stabilise it with a splint if treated quickly. X-rays are taken to assess any root or bone damage. Without prompt treatment, the tooth may be lost, so urgent attendance is advised.
- Chips and breaks on front teeth can affect both comfort and appearance. Small fractures may be repaired with bonding, while larger damage often requires a veneer or crown. If the nerve is exposed, root canal treatment may be necessary. We can often provide an immediate temporary restoration to restore your smile on the same day.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?
Chipped or broken front tooth
Avoid biting hard foods and keep the area clean by rinsing gently. Bring the broken fragment if you have it. Avoid very hot or cold drinks that may cause sensitivity. Arrange an urgent dental visit to prevent further damage.
Dental infection or abscess
Apply a cold compress externally if swelling occurs. Avoid applying heat, which can worsen the condition. Over-the-counter pain relief may ease symptoms temporarily. Seek emergency dental treatment quickly, as antibiotics alone will not cure the problem.
Dislodged tooth due to trauma
Do not try to force the tooth back into position. Apply a cold compress for swelling. Stick to soft foods and avoid using the injured side. See a dentist immediately as stabilisation is often possible if treated quickly.
Persistent bleeding after extraction
Bite firmly on gauze for 20 minutes without interruption. Avoid spitting or rinsing, which can disturb the clot. Keep your head elevated and rest quietly. If bleeding does not stop, return to the dentist for further care.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, in many cases we can provide a same-day temporary restoration to restore appearance and function, especially for front teeth. Longer-term solutions such as crowns or veneers will be discussed once we have assessed the tooth properly. Our goal is to provide both immediate comfort and a lasting result.
- An abscess often causes severe pain, swelling, a bad taste in the mouth, and sometimes fever. In some cases, there may be visible pus or gum swelling near the affected tooth. Only a dentist can confirm the diagnosis with X-rays and examination, but if you suspect an abscess, you should seek care urgently to prevent complications.
- Not always, but if seen quickly, many teeth can be stabilised with splints. The success depends on how far the tooth has moved, the health of the surrounding tissues, and how soon treatment is provided. Early attendance is critical for the best chance of saving the tooth.
- Yes, we accept all major Australian health funds and process claims instantly through HICAPS. If you have dental cover, you may qualify for gap free treatment on emergency services such as check-ups, X-rays, and simple fillings. We always confirm costs before treatment so you know exactly what to expect.
- This depends on the treatment and the condition being managed. Some patients feel relief immediately, while others may experience minor discomfort for several days. Following aftercare instructions is essential to aid recovery. If your symptoms persist or worsen, we encourage you to return for review so we can provide further support.
