See a dentist as soon as possible if you have a knocked-out adult tooth, a broken or cracked tooth, a lost filling or crown, a dental abscess, or severe or ongoing toothache. Getting help early can make a real difference to the outcome.
If an adult tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it if it's dirty and keep it in a container of milk. Then call us straight away. Treatment within the first hour gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
If you have severe facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that won't stop, go to your nearest hospital emergency department or call 000.
For everything else, call our emergency dentist in Narre Warren South on (03) 8790 2500.
