Emergency Dentist in Rochedale South

Urgent Dental Care When You Need It Most

Need an emergency dentist in Rochedale South? We treat dental abscesses, relieve severe toothache, repair chipped or broken teeth, and save knocked-out teeth for adults and children.

Dr Vinisha Kapadia and our team provide same-day emergency appointments, gentle care, sedation options for anxious patients, and flexible payment plans.

Severe Toothache or Dental Abscess

• What You Can Do Before Arriving: Take over-the-counter pain relief and rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek (15 minutes on, 15 off). Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
• Our Treatment Options: We may drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics, or perform a root canal to save the tooth. If necessary, extraction may be recommended to stop the infection from spreading.
• Book an urgent same-day visit: Don’t delay — call us (07) 3062 7488 for urgent relief and treatment.

Gum Infection and Facial Swelling

• What You Can Do Before Arriving: Keep your head elevated to reduce swelling. Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek. Avoid pressing on the swollen area or applying heat.
• Our Treatment Options: Same-day emergency care may include deep cleaning, antibiotics, or a small procedure to release the infection and relieve pressure.

Knocked-Out Adult or Baby Teeth

What You Can Do Before Arriving:

• Adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (white part), not the root. Gently try to reinsert it into the socket if possible, or store it in milk or saliva. Time is critical.
• Baby tooth: Do not reinsert to avoid damaging the permanent tooth underneath. Apply gentle pressure with gauze to stop bleeding.
• Our Treatment Options: We reimplant and stabilise adult teeth if seen quickly. If not possible, replacement options will be discussed. For children, we focus on protecting the area and monitoring permanent tooth development.

Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth

• What You Can Do Before Arriving: Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken fragments, and avoid chewing on the injured side. If bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze.
• Our Treatment Options: Depending on the severity, we may use bonding, fillings, or crowns to repair the tooth and restore comfort and appearance.

Uncontrollable Bleeding After Dental Trauma or Extraction

• What You Can Do Before Arriving: Rinse gently with cool water and place clean gauze over the area. Apply firm, steady pressure for at least 15 minutes without checking too soon. Avoid rinsing repeatedly or using straws.
• Our Treatment Options: We’ll identify the source of bleeding and apply local measures to stop it safely — this may include sutures, medication, or special dressings.
• Book an urgent same-day visit: If bleeding doesn’t slow down after 15-20 minutes, call us immediately on (07) 3062 7488.

Fractured or Broken Jaw

• What You Can Do Before Arriving: Keep your mouth as still as possible and support your jaw with a soft bandage. Use a cold compress to limit swelling and avoid eating or speaking.
• Our Treatment Options: A suspected jaw fracture is a serious emergency. Go straight to your nearest hospital emergency
  department or call 000. Once stable, we can assist with follow-up care, pain management, and dental restoration.
• For follow-up care: Contact us on (07) 3062 7488 for urgent assessment and support after initial hospital care.

Can Dental Emergencies Be Avoided?

Not every dental emergency can be prevented — accidents happen. But many issues like severe toothaches, abscesses, and broken teeth often develop from untreated problems.

Regular check-ups, professional cleaning, and dental X-rays help us detect small issues before they turn into painful emergencies. If you play contact sports, wear a custom mouthguard to prevent dental injuries.

While you can’t always predict when a tooth will crack or get knocked out, keeping up with routine care and wearing protection during sports greatly lowers your risk.

What Is and Is Not a Dental Emergency

Dental Emergencies That Require Urgent Care

Severe toothache or abscess, knocked-out or loose teeth, facial swelling or infection, broken teeth with pain or exposed nerves, uncontrolled bleeding in the mouth, fractured or broken jaw, and soft tissue injuries to the lip, cheek, or tongue.

Emergency Dentist with Sedation Options

When you’re already hurting, the thought of dental treatment can feel overwhelming. We never want fear to be the reason someone stays in pain.

That’s why we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you relax quickly while staying awake and aware. It’s safe, effective, and wears off quickly so you can drive home.

For anxious patients, children, or anyone who needs extra comfort – sedation makes emergency care manageable and stress-free.

We believe relief shouldn’t come with extra stress. Whatever the situation — severe toothache, broken tooth, or sudden swelling — we’ll plan your care to keep you comfortable and at ease.

Emergency Dental Care for Children and Families

Our team provides gentle, patient care for children experiencing dental emergencies. We understand that childhood dental injuries can look scary, but most are manageable with quick action.

What makes children’s care different: We assess whether permanent teeth are at risk, monitor growth and development, use child-friendly language, and create a calm environment.

For children with special needs, we take extra time to ensure a comfortable, sensory-friendly experience.

Parents, don’t panic. Call us, and we’ll calmly walk you through what to do next.

Any invasive or surgical procedure may carry risks. Before moving forward, it is recommended that you seek a second opinion from an appropriately licensed medical professional.
