Yes, we will evaluate and treat your dental emergency as soon as possible and often handle same-day dental emergencies.
Depending on the problem to be fixed, we will at least relieve your pain on the day of treatment. However, if necessary, you may need to rebook for further care. Specific procedures, such as root canals, to treat tooth pain and infections require more than one appointment.
Emergency dental issues may include:
- Toothache with or without swelling
- Oral injuries, including broken restorations or teeth
- Object lodges in soft tissues or between teeth
It's impossible to imagine every scenario. So, when in doubt, we encourage you to call our dental clinic for guidance. Our emergency dentist in Coffs Harbour is always concerned for your well-being and dental health.
Severity of the Dental Emergency: Minor Issues vs. Severe Trauma
Of course, some oral health issues may not be dental emergencies. For example, if you have a chipped or cracked tooth that is not causing pain or swelling, it can sometimes wait until the next available appointment. A dental team member can evaluate your symptoms and make the best decision for your care.
Severe trauma outside the mouth may require a visit to the local hospital emergency for assessment. For example, if you feel dizzy, have a headache or have sustained impact.
