EMERGENCY DENTAL TREATMENT NEAR FERNY HILLS - SAME DAY APPOINTMENTS

We know that toothache can develop quickly to the point of debilitating pain so we will endeavour to see you on the day. Toothache is your body indicating to you that the tooth is infected and should be seen promptly to avoid spread of infection which can be potentially life threatening. So if you are having a toothache, it is important to have it treated as soon as possible.

BROKEN, CRACKED, CHIPPED TEETH

Broken tooth should be fixed immediately. When teeth break the inside of the tooth is exposed and lets bacteria from the mouth in. This can cause an infection in the tooth eventually leading to a toothache. Too often we see patients with a broken tooth that has been left because it was not sore ending up needing a root canal or extraction because it was not addressed immediately.

Why do teeth break?

Teeth may break due to:

Heavily filled
Decay in the tooth
Heavy grinders
Lost an old filling
Trauma

Our friendly dentists at Ferny Hills Dental will thoroughly assess the broken tooth and go over the best options for restoring your tooth. Depending on the size of the breakage and the amount of tooth structure left we may suggest tooth-coloured composite fillings, porcelain onlays or crowns.

Emergency Dental Latest

What counts as a dental emergency and when should I seek same-day care?

Any sudden, severe pain or trauma—such as a debilitating toothache, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or significant swelling—requires urgent attention. At Ferny Hills Dental, we prioritise these cases and aim to see you on the same day to prevent complications.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments in Ferny Hills?

Yes. Simply call our friendly team on (07) 3351 2731 as soon as your emergency arises, and we’ll do our best to fit you in for a same-day visit.

What should I do immediately if my tooth is broken, chipped, or cracked?

Rinse your mouth gently with warm water, save any tooth fragments, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. Contact us right away—prompt treatment (composite filling, onlay, or crown) can often save the tooth from infection and more invasive procedures.

Can you perform emergency root canal therapy at Ferny Hills Dental?

Absolutely. If a tooth’s nerve is infected or damaged, we can arrange an emergency root canal to remove infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural tooth structure whenever possible.

What can I expect during my emergency appointment at Ferny Hills Dental?

Upon arrival, we’ll review your medical and dental history, take any necessary X-rays, and perform a focused examination. We’ll then explain your diagnosis, present treatment options (including costs and timeframes), and proceed with pain relief and definitive repair or referral—all in one visit whenever feasible.

Will my health fund or Medicare’s Child Dental Benefits Scheme cover emergency treatment?

Coverage depends on your specific plan. Many health funds include emergency dental care; eligible children may receive up to $1,095 over two years under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule for emergency services. Our reception team can confirm your entitlements when you call.
