What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any condition requiring immediate dental attention to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include:
Severe Toothache
Unbearable pain lasting more than a few hours may indicate infection or decay requiring urgent care.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical. A tooth knocked out in trauma can sometimes be saved if treated within 30 minutes.
Lost or Broken Filling
Exposed cavity or tooth structure causes pain and requires urgent filling or treatment.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A fracture or chip can expose the inner tooth, causing pain and requiring same-day repair.
Dental Abscess
A bacterial infection causing swelling, fever, or pus requires immediate attention to prevent serious complications.
Swollen Jaw or Face
Facial swelling from infection is a serious emergency needing immediate professional evaluation.
Our Emergency Dental Services
Drury Dental offers comprehensive urgent dental care, including:
Same-Day Tooth Extraction
If your tooth cannot be saved, our team performs gentle, pain-free extractions using modern anesthesia and, when needed, IV sedation to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
Emergency Root Canal Treatment
Severe pain often indicates an infected tooth. Root canal therapy removes the infection, saves the tooth, and provides relief from pain.
Temporary and Permanent Fillings
For broken or cavity-exposed teeth, we provide immediate temporary relief and can often complete permanent filling the same day.
Emergency Oral Surgery
Complex cases such as impacted wisdom teeth or severe fractures are handled with precision and care, with options for pain management tailored to your needs.
Broken Tooth Repair
Whether a simple chip or major fracture, we repair broken teeth quickly. For significant damage, our CEREC technology can sometimes create a permanent crown in a single visit.
Dental Trauma Management
Accidents and injuries require expert care. Our team is trained to assess and treat dental trauma, working to save teeth whenever possible.
What to Do Before Your Emergency Appointment
While waiting to be seen, follow these steps to manage your pain and protect your tooth:
-
Call us immediately: (09) 294 7761. Tell us about your emergency so we can prioritize your appointment.
-
For a knocked-out tooth: Pick it up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket or store it in milk.
-
For severe pain: Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek (15 minutes on, 15 minutes off).
-
For swelling: Use ice packs and keep your head elevated to reduce inflammation.
-
Avoid hard foods: Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing on the affected side.
-
Rinse with salt water: A warm salt water rinse can help manage infection and reduce pain temporarily.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Dentistry
Can I get a same-day emergency dentist appointment?
Yes. We prioritize emergency cases and work hard to fit patients in the same day. Call (09) 294 7761 to let us know your situation.
How quickly should I see an emergency dentist?
For a knocked-out tooth, the first 30 minutes are critical. For severe pain, infection, or swelling, seek care within 24 hours. For less urgent issues like a small chip, within a week is acceptable, but sooner is better.
Should I go to hospital or an emergency dentist?
Go to hospital if you have severe facial trauma, difficulty breathing, unconsciousness, or uncontrolled bleeding. For tooth pain, broken teeth, or knocked-out teeth, contact an emergency dentist. Call Drury Dental first.
Can an emergency dentist perform an extraction?
Yes. If a tooth cannot be saved, our emergency dentists perform gentle extractions using local anesthesia or IV sedation, depending on the complexity and your comfort level.
What happens during an emergency dental appointment?
We begin with a thorough examination and digital X-rays to understand your problem. We'll discuss your options, explain the treatment, manage your pain, and begin treatment that day whenever possible. Your wellbeing comes first.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on your specific emergency. We provide a clear estimate before treatment begins. ACC, WINZ, and Southern Cross claims are accepted. We also offer interest-free payment plans to spread costs.
Is emergency dental treatment painful?
No. We use modern anesthetics to numb the area before treatment. For complex procedures or anxious patients, IV sedation is available to keep you calm and comfortable throughout.
Do you offer after-hours emergency dentist services?
We're open Monday to Friday 8am-5pm and by appointment on Saturday. For emergencies outside these hours, call (09) 294 7761 to hear our after-hours message for urgent contact information.
