Emergency Dental Care What to Do and What to Expect

A dental emergency can include severe tooth pain, a broken tooth, a knocked-out tooth, swelling, bleeding, or a lost restoration. Call Aster Dental Centre as soon as possible so the team can explain the next available step.

When to book an appointment

Contact the clinic promptly if pain is severe or worsening, a tooth is cracked or knocked out, a filling or crown has come loose, there is swelling, or an injury has affected the mouth. If there is trouble breathing or swallowing, severe facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious injury, seek emergency medical care immediately.

What happens at the appointment

When you call, explain what happened, when it started, and whether there is pain, swelling, bleeding, or a loose or missing tooth. The team can advise on same-day appointment availability and what to bring. At the visit, the dentist examines the concern, may take diagnostic images when appropriate, explains the findings, and discusses suitable next steps.

What to know before treatment

  • Do not place aspirin directly on a tooth or gums.
  • If a permanent tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown rather than the root and call immediately.
  • Bring any broken tooth or restoration pieces if you can do so safely.
  • Same-day appointments depend on availability; call before coming in.

Frequently asked questions
