Some of the common dental emergencies that patients experience include

Small dentist icon

Chronic Toothache

If you experience severe toothache and your mouth is swollen, contact us at Bondi Family Dentist to schedule an appointment for emergency care.

Broken or Chipped Tooth

If possible, save the piece of your broken tooth. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply gauze to stop the bleeding.

Dental Abscesses

Abscesses are common infections that occur around the tooth’s root. Abscesses can damage the gum tissue and surrounding tooth or spread the infection to other parts of your mouth when not addressed in time.

Cracked Tooth

Don’t try to remove any tissue fragments. Instead, make sure the tooth stays in the socket. If you can find pieces of your tooth, put them in a cup of milk with salt.

Broken Orthodontic Wires and Brackets

If your brackets or wires break and hurt your gum, tongue, or cheek, please don’t cut the wire or attempt to fix the issue yourself. Instead, call Bondi Family Dentist to schedule your emergency dental treatment, and we’ll take care of the rest.
dental filling

Lost or broken fillings

Fillings are helpful dentistry tools for restoring damaged teeth and cavities. However, they are not invincible and can fall out if there is further decay, teeth grinding, or excessive movement. It’s important to address a lost or broken filling to prevent complications such as tooth pain, discomfort, or the need for more extensive dental work, like a root canal or crown.

Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums despite regular checkups is a dental emergency. Your dentist can perform a thorough evaluation to provide appropriate treatment. They may also refer you to a medical doctor for further testing to ensure your overall health is not at risk. Prompt action is key to addressing the issue.

In addition to emergency dentistry, we offer a vast selection of services, including:

Tooth removal

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure in which a tooth is removed from its socket in the bone. There are a variety of reasons why a tooth may need to be extracted, including severe decay, infection, gum disease, overcrowding, or trauma.

Dental implants

Dental implants are an effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support a crown, bridge, or denture, with a tooth attached to the root.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a groundbreaking approach to teeth straightening that’s effective and discreet. It’s a sequence of tailor-made, transparent aligners.

General Dentistry

Prioritise your oral health with routine general dentistry checks. Our expert care ensures your smile remains vibrant and healthy.

Teeth Whitening

Kids Dentistry

We’ll help turn your child’s first dental experience into a positive one, with our paediatric dental services in Bondi.

Composite Bonding

Revive your smile’s natural brilliance—our expert composite bonding techniques seamlessly repair chips, cracks, and gaps, merging artistry with dentistry.

Dental Veneers

Elevate your smile with our tailored veneers. Crafted to perfection, they offer a natural look and feel, instantly revamping your aesthetics.

Root Canal Treatment

Soothe dental pain and save damaged or infected teeth with a root canal. Our gentle yet thorough procedures restore tooth health, keeping your smile intact.

Dental crowns

Improve cracked, worn or weakened teeth with dental crowns. These durable protectors restore function and elevate smile aesthetics.

What to expect:

An X-ray of your mouth will determine the root cause of the problem. Our dentist will then assess the situation and develop a plan. Our goal is to restore your dental health and get you back to feeling comfortable and confident with your smile. We will explain each step of the process and answer any questions you may have to ensure you feel informed throughout your treatment.

What isn’t an Emergency?

Emergency dentistry only includes issues that can seriously impact your immediate health.

If you have any of the following symptoms, you should visit an emergency dentist: a mouth that tastes like metal (dysgeusia), one or more loose adult teeth, lesions that won’t heal, uncontrollable bleeding following tooth removal, rapid swelling around the throat or eye or trauma confined to the dental arches.

Chronic headaches or tooth pain are common reasons for trips to an emergency dentist, but they are not always indicators of a significant issue that requires an emergency dentist. Our Bondi dentists can provide professional advice at your earliest convenience.
