Fast, Gentle Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies can happen anytime—whether it’s sudden pain, an accident, or a broken tooth. At Serene Family Dental in Ropes Crossing, we provide same-day emergency dental care to relieve discomfort, protect your oral health, and restore your smile.

Our compassionate team understands that emergencies can be stressful. That’s why we prioritise urgent appointments and deliver gentle, effective treatments when you need them most.

What Is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth.

Severe toothache or sudden dental pain
Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
Dental abscess or swelling of the face/gums
Injuries to the gums, lips, or jaw
Persistent bleeding after trauma or dental treatment

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water, take over-the-counter pain relief if needed, and call us immediately.
Knocked-Out Tooth: Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and see us within 30 minutes.
Broken/Chipped Tooth: Save any fragments, rinse your mouth, and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side, and book an urgent appointment.
Swelling/Abscess: Apply a cold compress, avoid heat, and seek care immediately as infections can spread quickly.

⚠️ Don’t ignore dental pain or damage—early treatment can save your tooth and prevent complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental emergency is any urgent issue involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that needs immediate attention. Common examples include severe toothache, knocked-out or broken teeth, swelling, abscesses, and uncontrolled bleeding. If you’re unsure, call us and we’ll advise whether you need same-day care.

Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part), not the root.
Gently rinse it with water if dirty, but do not scrub.
Try to place it back into the socket if possible.
If not, store it in milk or saliva and come to the dentist immediately.
⚠️ The sooner you get treatment (ideally within 30 minutes), the better the chance of saving the tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water, take over-the-counter pain relief if needed, and apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Then call us immediately — toothaches often signal an underlying problem that requires urgent care.
