Emergency Dentist
Urgent dental care when you need it most.
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and when they do, fast, professional care makes all the difference. At Moonee Ponds Family Dentistry, we offer same-day emergency dental appointments to relieve pain, treat injury, and protect your smile.
Whether you're dealing with a severe toothache, a broken filling, or dental trauma, our experienced team is here to help.
When to See an Emergency Dentist
If you're in pain, it's important to have your teeth assessed as soon as possible. Delaying treatment can make things worse and may result in permanent damage or more complex care later.
We treat a wide range of dental emergencies, including:
-
Severe or persistent toothaches
-
Knocked-out teeth
-
Broken or chipped teeth
-
Swelling, infection, or abscesses
-
Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges
-
Injuries from accidents or sports
-
Bleeding or trauma to the gums
If you're unsure whether your issue is urgent, please give us a call. Our team can advise you on the best next step.
What to Expect at Your Emergency Appointment
When you arrive, we’ll focus on relieving your pain and assessing the problem. Depending on the issue, treatment may involve:
-
X-rays to diagnose the cause
-
Tooth repair or replacement
-
Root canal treatment if the nerve is involved
-
Recementing or replacing lost restorations
-
Prescribing antibiotics or pain relief if needed
We prioritise your comfort at every step and will clearly explain your treatment options so you can make an informed decision.

FAQs About Dental Emergencies
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Gently rinse it (don’t scrub), place it back in the socket if possible, or keep it in milk or saliva. Call us immediately. Acting quickly gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Can I go to the hospital for a dental emergency?
Hospitals can help with swelling or trauma, but they can’t treat the cause of dental issues. It’s best to see a dentist as soon as possible.
Is emergency dental care covered by insurance?
Private health funds may cover part of your treatment depending on your level of extras cover. We’ll provide an itemised quote before starting.
How do I know if it’s a dental emergency?
If you're in pain, have facial swelling, bleeding, or a damaged tooth, it’s best to seek urgent dental advice.
Do you treat emergency patients from other suburbs?
Yes. We regularly care for patients from Moonee Ponds, Maribyrnong, Brunswick West, Essendon, Ascot Vale, and beyond.
