A toothache at 2am. A chipped tooth right before a work presentation. A knocked-out tooth at weekend sport. Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times, and when they do, you need to know exactly where to go.
If you’re searching for emergency dental care near Narre Warren, Smile Lounge can help. Call us on (03) 8820 1115 and we’ll get you seen as quickly as possible, often on the same day.
Our team handles dental emergencies regularly, from severe toothaches and infections to broken teeth and dental trauma. Dr Tony Liu and our experienced team understand that when you’re in discomfort, waiting days for an appointment simply isn’t an option.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental issue requires urgent care, but some situations definitely do. Knowing the difference can help you make the right call.
Seek emergency care for:
- Severe, persistent toothache that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter relief
- A knocked-out permanent tooth (time is critical here)
- A cracked, broken or chipped tooth with sharp edges or exposed nerve
- Swelling in your face, jaw or gums
- Bleeding that won’t stop after 15 minutes of pressure
- Signs of infection like fever, swelling or pus
- Trauma to your mouth or jaw
Can usually wait for a regular appointment:
- Minor tooth sensitivity
- A small chip with no discomfort
- Lost filling with no symptoms
- Mild gum irritation
If you’re unsure, call us. We’d rather hear from you and help you decide than have you suffer through something that needs immediate attention.
What to Do Before You Get to Us
While you’re on your way to emergency dental care, there are a few things you can do to manage the situation.
For a knocked-out tooth: Pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse gently with milk or saline. Try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, keep it moist in milk or inside your cheek. Time matters here. The sooner you get to us, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
For a severe toothache: Rinse with warm salt water. Use over-the-counter relief as directed. Avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks.
For a broken tooth: Rinse your mouth gently. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Save any pieces if you can.
For bleeding: Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze or a damp tea bag for 15 to 20 minutes.
