Emergency Dentistry in Dubbo
A broken tooth on the footy field. A throbbing toothache in the middle of the night. When a dental emergency strikes, the last thing you want is to wait around. At Smile on Dubbo & Narromine, we fully recognise how stressful and painful dental emergencies can be. That’s why we offer same-day care and do our best to get you seen as quickly as possible—even outside regular hours.
If you’re in pain, don’t wait to seek care. We’re ready to help.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Some dental problems can’t wait. Common emergencies we handle include:
- Severe or throbbing toothache
- Knocked-out or broken tooth
- Chipped tooth with pain or sharp edges
- Lost filling or crown
- Facial swelling, gum abscess, or jaw pain
Injuries from falls, sports, or other accidents can also require urgent attention, especially if they involve bleeding, cracked teeth, or trauma to the jaw, lips, or soft tissue.
What You Can Do Before Your Appointment
Until you can get to us, here are a few steps you can take:
- Use a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory, like ibuprofen
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm saltwater
- For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk, saline, or water with a pinch of salt
- If a crown or filling has fallen out, avoid chewing on that side and save the restoration if possible
Quick action can make a massive difference, especially with a lost or broken tooth.
How We Handle Dental Emergencies
We prioritise your comfort from the moment you call. Same-day appointments are available whenever possible, and our experienced team can quickly assess your situation, manage the pain, and start the right course of care.
Depending on the issue, we may provide temporary relief (like a filling or dressing) or offer a longer-term solution such as root canal therapy, a dental crown, or surgical extraction. We’ll explain your options clearly and help you decide what’s next.
