Common Types of Dental Emergencies
The most typical dental emergencies in Cabramatta are listed below, along with what you can do in each case:
Toothache or Dental Pain
Tooth pain can have several causes and may come and go. Call our team if pain is severe, worsening or accompanied by swelling, fever or a bad taste. A dentist needs to assess the cause before recommending treatment. Do not wait for a fixed number of hours when concerning symptoms develop.
Broken Tooth
If you can find the broken piece of tooth, bring it to the dentist; it may be possible to reattach it. Avoid chewing on the injured tooth and call Cabramatta Dental Care promptly after an injury to a tooth or your face so the dentist can assess the damage.
A broken piece is different from a whole tooth that has been knocked out. See the knocked-out-tooth advice below if the whole tooth came out.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it in milk or saline without scrubbing. If possible, return it to its socket and gently hold it in place. If not, transport it in milk or the person’s saliva. See a dentist as soon as possible.
Baby tooth: Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back in. Bring it to the dentist so the child can be checked. If you are unsure whether it is a baby or adult tooth, keep it moist in milk or the child’s saliva and seek dental care promptly.
Swelling or Suspected Dental Abscess
Call our team promptly if you have swelling, pain, fever or a bad taste. A dentist can assess the cause and discuss the care needed. If swelling affects breathing or speaking, or reaches the eye or neck, seek emergency medical care.
Soft Tissue Injuries in the Mouth
If the lips, tongue, cheeks or gums are injured, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze or a clean cloth to help control bleeding. Call our team for dental advice and an assessment. If bleeding does not stop, the injury is severe, or breathing is affected, seek urgent medical care.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a dental emergency?
A knocked-out or loose adult tooth, broken tooth, severe or worsening pain, painful swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or a jaw injury needs prompt assessment. Call our team and tell us what happened. If swelling affects breathing or speaking, or reaches the eye or neck, seek emergency medical care.
How soon should I see a dentist?

What should I do if an adult tooth is knocked out?
Hold the tooth by its crown. If dirty, gently rinse it in milk or saline without scrubbing. If possible, put it back in its socket and hold it gently; otherwise keep it moist in milk or the person’s saliva. Seek dental care as soon as possible. See our knocked-out tooth guide.
Should I put a knocked-out baby tooth back?
No. Do not put a knocked-out baby tooth back in its socket. Bring the tooth to the dentist and have the child assessed. If you are unsure whether it is a baby or adult tooth, keep it moist in milk or the child’s saliva and call us promptly.
Is a broken tooth handled the same way as a knocked-out tooth?
No. A broken piece is different from a whole tooth that has come out. Bring any fragment you can find, avoid chewing on the injured tooth and call us for an assessment. The dentist can check whether the piece can be reattached or whether another treatment is needed.
How much will an emergency visit cost?
The cost depends on the examination and any treatment needed. When you call, ask about the examination fee and whether an X-ray may be needed. The dentist can explain the findings, treatment options and likely costs before proceeding.
