Dental emergencies can be painful and disruptive, so we keep time aside every day, even for small issues. A quick call means you’ll know what’s happening and what you can do right now. Even if you’re not a current patient, you can come in for urgent care, and you’ll receive:
- A focused emergency assessment
- Clear, simple explanations of what we find
- Treatment options and costs before anything starts
If you already have a regular dentist, we can treat the emergency and then send you back to them with your records, x-rays, and notes

FAQs
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any urgent problem with your teeth, gums, or jaw that causes pain, bleeding, swelling, or obvious damage. If you’re not sure whether it’s serious, call our team, and we can talk it through with you.
Should I call the dentist or go to the hospital for a dental emergency?
Go straight to the hospital or call 000 for heavy bleeding, breathing or swallowing trouble, major trauma or a suspected broken jaw. For toothaches, broken teeth, lost fillings, or localised swelling, call Mona Vale Dental during business hours.
Can I see you for an emergency if I'm not a regular patient?
Yes, you can see us for an emergency even if you’ve never visited before. We’ll focus on getting you comfortable and explaining your options before any treatment starts.
What types of dental emergencies are treated at Mona Vale Dental?
We see severe toothache and sensitivity, broken or cracked teeth, knocked-out teeth, abscesses or swelling, lost fillings, crowns, or veneers, and soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, or gums. If you’re dealing with any of these, phone us as soon as you can.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, and gently place it back in the socket or keep it in milk or your cheek (if safe). Call us straight away, as teeth have the best chance of being saved within 30–60 minutes.
What if I have a severe toothache but no obvious damage?
A strong toothache can still mean decay, infection or a crack, even if you can’t see anything. Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed and book an emergency visit so we can find and treat the cause.
Do you have dedicated appointments for emergency dental treatment?
Yes, we keep time aside each weekday specifically for emergency patients. Calling earlier in the day gives you the best chance of a same-day appointment.
What if I have a dental emergency outside your business hours?
For severe injury, heavy bleeding, breathing or swallowing issues, or swelling that affects your airway, contact 000 or go straight to the hospital. For less urgent problems after hours, leave us a message or request an appointment online, and we’ll get back to you on the next business day.
How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
Costs depend on the cause of the problem and the type of treatment needed. An average, however, is $73. We’ll assess the issue, relieve discomfort, and plan next steps. Include your concern when contacting us so we’re aware before your visit, as X-rays may be required, which will incur additional costs.
Can you treat the emergency and then send me back to my regular dentist?
Yes, we can handle the urgent care and then refer you back to your regular dentist. With your consent, we’ll share your x-rays, notes, and treatment details so they’re fully up to speed.
