Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Cabramatta Clinic
- Toothaches may come on suddenly and can interfere with eating, sleeping, and daily activities. Pain relief at home is usually temporary. We use X-rays and clinical examination to identify whether the problem is caused by decay, a crack, or infection. Treatment may involve a filling, root canal therapy, or extraction depending on the severity.
- Accidents can sometimes cause a tooth to become loose or move out of its normal position. If treated quickly, the tooth can often be repositioned and stabilised with a splint. X-rays are taken to assess root or bone involvement. Immediate attention increases the chances of saving the tooth.
- An abscess is a painful infection that may cause swelling, fever, or a bad taste in the mouth. Antibiotics can help control symptoms, but definitive dental treatment is required to remove the source of infection. Our team provides urgent care to prevent spread and protect surrounding teeth.
- Broken or damaged dentures can make eating and speaking difficult. Depending on the extent of the damage, repairs may be carried out or a replacement may be required. We will assess the denture and discuss the most practical solution to restore comfort and function.
- Mild bleeding is normal following an extraction, but if it continues for several hours, it needs professional review. We may recommend biting on gauze for firm pressure or apply stitches to secure the area. Detailed aftercare advice is always provided to support proper healing. At our Cabramatta clinic, we reserve time for same-day appointments to ensure urgent cases are managed quickly and effectively.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?
Toothache
Avoid chewing on the affected side and rinse gently with warm salty water. Pain medication may provide short-term relief, but the cause must be treated by a dentist. Take note of what triggers the pain and how severe it is, and share this with your dentist during the visit.
Dental abscess
Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if swelling is present. Do not apply heat, as this can worsen infection. Pain relief may help, but antibiotics and definitive treatment are often needed. Contact your dentist promptly to avoid serious complications.
Broken denture
Stop wearing the broken denture to avoid causing injury to your mouth. Keep all pieces and bring them with you to your appointment. Some minor repairs may be possible, but replacement may be required if the damage is extensive.
Bleeding after surgery
Bite firmly on gauze for at least 20 minutes to help the area clot. Avoid spitting or rinsing, which can dislodge the clot. Rest with your head elevated and stick to soft foods. If bleeding continues, contact your dentist urgently for further treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
- In most cases, yes. We try to accommodate urgent patients on the same day, especially if you are in pain. If our schedule is full, we will still provide advice or immediate relief and then book the earliest available appointment for definitive care. Every case requires an in-person exam to confirm the best treatment.
- Yes, in some cases trauma to a baby tooth can impact the developing adult tooth underneath. This may lead to changes in colour or shape when the adult tooth appears. A dentist will examine the injury and may recommend X-rays to check the adult teeth. Follow-up care is important.
- Recovery varies depending on the type of extraction and your health. Most patients feel comfortable again within a few days, but the gum and bone may take six to eight weeks to fully heal. Your dentist will check the site and give you tailored aftercare advice.
- Even if the swelling is painless, it may be a sign of gum disease or infection. Early treatment is usually simpler and prevents complications later. Booking a dental appointment quickly allows us to confirm the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
- It is common to feel sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days after a filling, particularly if the cavity was deep. This usually improves as the tooth adjusts. If sensitivity worsens, continues for more than a few weeks, or is triggered by biting, you should return for a review so we can check the tooth.
