At Park St Dental Practice in Mona Vale, we understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time and often when you least expect them. Whether you’re experiencing severe pain, a dental injury, or a sudden problem with your teeth, our team is here to provide prompt, compassionate care to help relieve your symptoms and protect your oral health.
A dental emergency is any situation involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires urgent attention to alleviate pain, stop bleeding, prevent infection, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:
Severe toothache that does not go away
Knocked-out, fractured, or loosened teeth
Broken or lost fillings and crowns
Dental abscess or swelling
Bleeding that cannot be controlled
Injury to the gums, lips or soft tissues
These conditions can be painful and, if left untreated, can lead to more serious complications. Seeking care as soon as possible gives you the best chance of a positive outcome.
At Park St Dental Practice, we aim to respond quickly and effectively to dental emergencies. Once you contact us, we will prioritise your care and schedule you for the earliest possible appointment. Our experienced dental team is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of urgent dental issues, including:
If your emergency occurs outside regular hours, we provide clear instructions on who to contact and how to get immediate assistance.
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us first — we can advise you on what to do and whether you need to come in right away. For knocked-out teeth, gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing, try to keep it moist (in milk or saliva), and seek dental help immediately — the sooner you arrive, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
Delaying emergency dental care can increase pain, the risk of infection, and the possibility of losing the affected tooth. Prompt treatment not only relieves discomfort but also helps preserve your smile and oral function.
Emergency booking is available via online booking, emailing or calling the practice.
