Types of Dental Emergencies We Treat in Our Wynyard Clinic

  • Persistent tooth pain can be sharp, throbbing, or constant. It may be caused by decay, cracks, or infection. We take a detailed history, perform an exam, and use X-rays where required. Treatment may include fillings, root canal therapy, or extraction.

  • When a filling comes out, the tooth underneath can become sensitive and vulnerable. Food and bacteria can easily become trapped. A dentist will usually replace the filling, but sometimes a crown is needed if the tooth has weakened. Temporary protection can be applied until definitive treatment is done.

  • A crack may cause discomfort when chewing or sensitivity to hot and cold. Minor cracks can often be restored with fillings or bonding, but deeper ones may require crowns or root canal treatment. Prompt attention prevents the crack from worsening.

  • Swollen, tender, or bleeding gums can signal an infection. If untreated, this may progress to gum disease or abscesses. Treatment includes professional cleaning, antibiotics where necessary, and advice for long-term gum care.

  • It is normal to feel some soreness after a tooth removal, but worsening pain after three to five days may indicate infection or dry socket. Biting on gauze helps control bleeding, and avoiding spitting or rinsing protects the clot. Ongoing pain should always be reviewed promptly.   At our Wynyard clinic, emergency appointments are prioritised to ensure patients in urgent need are seen quickly.

Where to Find Our Wynyard - Sydney CBD Emergency Dental Clinic

No Gaps Dental Wynyard is located at 283 George Street, right in the Sydney CBD. The practice is just steps away from Wynyard Station, making it ideal for commuters and city workers.

When exiting Wynyard Station towards George Street, turn left. You will find building number 285, and right next to it is 283 George Street. The entrance is slightly enclosed, marked by a souvenir shop and barber boards near the doorway. We are also directly across the road from the Commonwealth Bank building, providing another clear landmark.

If you are driving into the city, there are several nearby parking stations. However, most patients find it easiest to arrive by train or bus, with Wynyard Station and George Street bus routes providing direct access. Our reception team can guide you if further directions are needed.

What to do if you have a Dental Emergency?

Severe toothache


Avoid chewing on the sore side and rinse gently with warm salty water. Take pain medication if safe for you. Record what triggers the pain such as heat, cold, or biting  and share this with your dentist. Book an urgent appointment to identify the cause.

 

Lost filling


Avoid sticky or hard foods that may irritate the exposed tooth. Keep the area clean by rinsing after meals. Over-the-counter temporary filling material may provide short-term relief. Arrange an urgent visit to replace the filling properly.

Cracked tooth


Do not chew on the cracked tooth until assessed. Apply a cold compress if there is swelling. Rinse with warm water to keep the area clean. If fragments break off, keep them safe and bring them to your appointment.

 

Gum infection


Rinse with warm salty water to reduce bacteria and swelling. Avoid irritants such as smoking or alcohol. Pain medication may help temporarily, but gum infections require professional care. Book an appointment quickly to prevent further progression.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, in most cases we can offer same-day appointments. If our schedule is completely full, we will still provide immediate advice and short-term care to help relieve your discomfort until a full appointment is available.

  • Often, yes. Many causes of dental pain, such as cracks, decay, or infections, cannot be seen with a simple exam. X-rays allow us to pinpoint the source and plan the right treatment. Your dentist will advise if one is necessary.

  • Immediately. Ideally, a knocked-out tooth should be replanted within 30 minutes for the best chance of survival. Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva until you arrive, and avoid touching the root.

  • Bleeding gums are usually caused by plaque build-up and inflammation. A professional clean often helps, but a dentist should also check for gum disease. Good oral hygiene at home supports long-term gum health.

  • Most dental procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout. You may feel some pressure, but pain is unlikely. Your dentist will check that you are fully numb before beginning any treatment.
