Even with the best brushing habits, dental emergencies happen: accidents, infections, and out-of-nowhere toothaches that just won’t quit.
Pain can sneak up fast, and the longer you wait, the worse it gets. Not knowing what to do only adds to the stress. Is it serious? Will you lose the tooth? Do you really need to be seen today?
Take a deep breath and call our emergency dentist Toowoomba. We keep space in our schedule for same-day appointments, so you’re never stuck waiting or wondering.
If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out or mobile tooth, or trauma to your mouth or jaw, it's a dental emergency. Bleeding that won’t stop or a broken crown causing pain also counts. If you’re unsure, call us, better safe than sorry.
If you need urgent care outside our hours, it’s best to head to the emergency department at Toowoomba hospital. They’ll help right away — and we’ll be here to follow-up and support as soon as we reopen.
If pain is constant or comes with swelling, fever, or bad breath, it could be an abscess. These infections need an emergency dental service to avoid serious complications, please call us.
Stay calm. Try placing the tooth gently back into its socket and hold it there. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or your saliva and bring it with you. Call us right away. Ideally, we need to see you within 30–60 minutes to have the best chance of saving your tooth.
If it’s reinserted quickly and stored correctly, yes, there’s a good chance. If not, we’ll talk through long-term options like dental implants that look and function just like a natural tooth.
