Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Randwick Clinic
At No Gaps Dental Randwick, we provide urgent care for a wide range of dental emergencies. Our team focuses on fast pain relief, protecting your teeth, and offering long-term treatment options tailored to your situation.
- A chipped tooth can leave sharp edges that irritate the tongue and may also cause sensitivity to hot or cold. Smaller chips can often be repaired with bonding, while larger fractures may need fillings or crowns. Bringing the broken fragment to your appointment can sometimes help with repair.
- Infections in the gums may cause swelling, bleeding, and tenderness. Left untreated, they can progress to abscesses or periodontal disease. Treatment usually includes a thorough clean, possible antibiotics, and follow-up care. Seeing a dentist early prevents the infection from worsening.
- Wisdom teeth often cause pain, swelling, or difficulty opening the mouth, especially if they are impacted. We assess the area with X-rays and provide treatment ranging from cleaning and antibiotics to extraction. Relief of pain is always the first priority.
- If a permanent tooth is knocked out, keep it moist in milk or saliva and bring it to the dentist immediately. Quick action within one hour offers the best chance of saving the tooth. If possible, gently reinsert it into the socket until you arrive.
- Some soreness is normal after a tooth removal, but worsening pain after three to five days may indicate infection or dry socket. Biting on gauze helps manage bleeding, and avoiding rinsing or spitting protects the healing site. Persistent pain should be checked urgently. Our Randwick clinic keeps emergency appointments available daily so patients can be seen without unnecessary delay.

Where to Find Our Randwick Emergency Dental Clinic
No Gaps Dental Randwick is located on Avoca Street, directly across from Randwick School, a well-known landmark in the area. This makes it simple for patients and visitors to find us, even if it’s their first time in the suburb.
The Randwick light rail service ends right on Avoca Street, with the final stop a short walk from our clinic. This makes public transport one of the easiest ways to reach us. Buses also serve the area frequently, connecting Randwick with nearby suburbs and Sydney CBD.
For patients driving, there is dedicated parking available behind the clinic. Additional street parking can also be found nearby, though it can be busy during school and hospital hours. If you are unfamiliar with the area, our reception team can provide detailed directions and parking advice when you book.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?
Chipped tooth
Avoid biting hard foods on the chipped tooth. Rinse with warm water to keep the area clean. Cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free gum if needed. Bring any broken fragments to your appointment for assessment.
Gum infection
Rinse gently with warm salty water to soothe the gums. Avoid smoking or irritants that may worsen swelling. Pain medication may provide temporary relief, but only professional treatment can resolve the infection. Contact your dentist promptly.
Wisdom tooth pain
Eat soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter medication may ease pain temporarily. A dentist will assess the tooth and recommend cleaning, antibiotics, or extraction as required.
Pain or bleeding after extraction
Bite on clean gauze for 20 minutes to help stop bleeding. Keep your head elevated and avoid spitting or rinsing for the first 24 hours. If pain worsens after several days or bleeding continues, arrange a review with your dentist as soon as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. If you are in pain, our priority is to relieve your discomfort as quickly as possible. We can usually provide immediate relief with medication or a quick emergency procedure. In some cases, especially if all clinicians are fully booked, we may schedule the full treatment for another day once we’ve identified the underlying cause.
- Bleeding gums are usually caused by plaque build-up leading to inflammation, though other factors may contribute. A professional clean is often the first step to resolving the issue. Regular home care and follow-up visits are essential to restore gum health.
- Dental treatment always comes with options. Your dentist will explain the benefits and drawbacks of each option so you can make an informed decision. You are never obliged to proceed with a specific treatment if you’re not comfortable.
- Root canal therapy generally takes two to four visits, depending on the complexity of the tooth. Each session lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. Your dentist will confirm the exact number of appointments after examining your tooth.
