What counts as a dental emergency?
Quick action can save a tooth and reduce pain. Our first priority is relief and stabilisation; we then explain definitive treatment options. If you have facial swelling spreading towards the eye or neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, go to a hospital emergency department immediately.
Who may need it?
- Severe or throbbing toothache
- Swelling of the gum or face
- Broken, chipped or cracked tooth

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse briefly if dirty, and try to place it back in the socket. If you cannot, keep it in milk or saliva and see a dentist immediately — ideally within 30–60 minutes.
What can I do for severe tooth pain at night?
Rinse with warm salt water, take an over-the-counter pain reliever as directed on the pack, and avoid placing aspirin on the gum. Arrange a dental appointment as soon as possible.
When is a dental problem a medical emergency?
Facial swelling spreading to the eye or neck, difficulty breathing or swallowing, high fever or uncontrolled bleeding need immediate hospital care.
