A sudden toothache that won’t quit? A sports mishap resulting in a chipped tooth? Dental emergencies are stressful, and knowing what to do before you call can make all the difference in the outcome. We’re here for urgent relief, so don’t hesitate to call.
See below for some important steps to take:
If a tooth (or part of) is knocked out, put the tooth straight into milk or saliva (do not wash it with water) and make you way to the dentist immediately. Time may be critical in being able to replant or save the tooth.
For swelling or pain, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for 10-20 minutes at a time.
Before calling, rinse your mouth gently with warm water to clear debris and offer some temporary comfort.
Hear from other locals who’ve had help from the team during a dental emergency.
Very warm and friendly staff. From the man at the reception, to the dental assistants, and the dentist himself. I was nervous visiting a new dentist after a long time, but they made me feel comfortable. They were helpful, genuine and warm. I’d recommend Albany dental to anyone seeking professional and kind dental service on the central coast.
Can not rate high enough. Have been coming here for a couple of years, and always have the best experience. All the staff are really lovely; they have always been fully informative and transparent with what they need to do, and most importantly if it doesn’t need doing, they don’t. Good dentists are hard to find. Great ones are impossible. Look no further.
The best dentist on the coast. So friendly, comforting and affordable. I had a bad experience at a different dentist’s office that caused me to avoid going until I found the team at Albany, my faith has been restored. Thank you for taking care of my smile 😁
An extremely warm and welcoming dental surgery! All the staff members my client and I met today were so friendly, polite and informative!! We were very impressed! Highly recommend!
I went to Albany because of all their 5 star reviews and I am more than happy to add to them. Excellent service, prompt, professional, friendly, affordable and most importantly, the quality of work was 10/10.
Feeling worried about seeing the dentist during an emergency? It’s understandable! Here are a few quick things that might help:
Just Breathe: Try taking slow, deep breaths in through your nose, out through your mouth. It really can help calm your nerves.
Remember Why: Focus on the fact that you're taking action to get relief and fix the problem. That's a positive step!
Let Us Know: Please tell our team if you're feeling anxious. We understand and are used to helping nervous patients feel more at ease.
Tune Out: If it helps, pop in some headphones with calming music or focus on a simple puzzle or game on your phone while you wait or travel.
We’re conveniently located at Suite 5/215 Albany St North, Gosford NSW 2250. You can find detailed directions and a map on our contact page. If you’re facing an emergency, call us ahead so we can prepare for your arrival and provide the quickest emergency dental care.
While we aren’t open and on-call 24/7, we prioritise urgent cases for prompt next-day care. If you’re in severe pain we recommend seeking immediate hospital attention. If your situation can wait until morning, call us first thing and our Albany Dental team will do our best to book you in quickly and relieve your discomfort.
While a chip or fracture might not hurt that much, you need to understand the potential risks of delaying treatment. Exposed inner layers of the tooth are vulnerable to bacteria, leading to painful infections that can spread, put stress on the remaining tooth structure, cause more extensive cracks, nerve damage, and ultimately, the loss of the tooth. Don’t wait for the pain to start! Contact us for emergency dental care on the Central Coast for a timely assessment. We can also explore cosmetic options to restore your smile’s appearance later, and we offer flexible payment plans to make urgent care accessible.
The first step is to call us immediately. Tell us clearly that it’s an emergency and briefly explain what happened.
