What Happens Next

When you need emergency dental help.

The emergency page explains which dental problems may need urgent review and how to contact the clinic. It does not promise a diagnosis or a fixed appointment time.

  1. Review the urgent warning signs and decide whether the concern can wait for normal booking.
  2. Call the clinic if you need help deciding what to do next.
  3. Use normal booking when the concern is stable or planned.
  4. If symptoms are medically serious or worsening quickly, seek urgent medical help where appropriate.
Book a normal appointment instead

Use emergency for severe pain, swelling, trauma, bleeding or urgent broken teeth.

Call the clinic if you need help deciding what to do next.

Normal booking remains available for planned and non-urgent care.

More about this care

When to use emergency

Use emergency if there is facial or gum swelling, severe or worsening pain, dental trauma, bleeding, infection concern or a broken tooth that cannot wait for a normal appointment.

What to do when the problem feels urgent

Review the warning signs on this page and call the clinic if you need help deciding what to do next. Stable or planned concerns can use normal booking.

When normal booking is better

Use normal booking for check-ups, planned care, second opinions, cosmetic concerns or symptoms that are mild, stable and able to wait.

If symptoms feel medically serious

If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, or you feel acutely unwell, seek urgent medical help immediately rather than waiting for an online dental response.

What happens when you call

Tell the clinic what has happened and how symptoms are changing. The next step may be urgent dental review, normal booking, or medical escalation if symptoms sound serious.

What the dentist may need to check

Urgent dental care may involve checking the source of pain or swelling, whether a tooth is cracked or loose, whether infection is spreading, and whether the safest first step is stabilisation, drainage, repair, extraction discussion or referral.

Urgent dental concerns need a different next step from planned and routine appointments.
