Dental emergencies we treat at our Cranbourne clinic
From a throbbing toothache to a tooth knocked out at weekend
sport, here’s how we can help, and what you can do until you get
to us.
Toothache relief
A toothache can mean decay, a cracked tooth, an irritated nerve or
an infection. Sometimes it’s just trapped food. Our toothache
treatment in Cranbourne starts with finding the cause and relieving
your pain, then explaining your options in plain words.
Broken or chipped teeth
Teeth can chip on something hard, in a fall at the playground or
from a knock during sport, leaving a sharp edge or a sensitive spot. We’ll check the tooth and its nerve, then talk you through repair options. Broken baby teeth matter too, so bring your child in.
Knocked-out teeth
A tooth knocked out at footy, netball or on the trampoline is a true emergency, and time matters. Ideally, a knocked-out adult tooth should be seen within 30 minutes, so call us straight away. Baby teeth are handled differently, so call us for advice.
Lost fillings or crowns
A filling or crown can come loose while you’re eating, sometimes
without much pain at first. The tooth underneath can be sensitive
or weaker than usual, so it’s worth having it checked soon. We’ll talk you through re-fitting or replacing it.
Abscesses and infections
A throbbing ache, a pimple-like bump on the gum, swelling, a bad
taste or a fever can be signs of an abscess. It needs prompt
treatment of the source, so please don’t wait it out. We’ll find where it’s coming from and work to relieve your pain.
Orthodontic emergencies
A poking wire, a loose bracket or a cracked clear aligner can make
braces or Invisalign hard to live with, especially for kids and teens. Call us and we’ll tell you what to do next, then help make things comfortable again.
Dealing with a knocked-out tooth in Cranbourne
With so many young families around Cranbourne East and Clyde
North, weekend sport and playground tumbles are a common
cause of knocked-out teeth. For an adult tooth, what you do in the first half hour makes a real difference to whether it can be saved.
Here’s what to do, step by step. Keep this page handy on your
phone.
1
Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white top part). Avoid
touching the root.
2
If it has dirt on it, rinse it for a few seconds in milk or saline. Don’t scrub it or let it dry.
3
If you can, slide it gently back into its socket facing the right
way, and bite on a clean cloth or hanky to keep it in place.
4
If that’s not possible, keep the tooth in milk. Adults can hold it in their mouth against the cheek instead.
5
Ring us on (03) 5996 6286 straight away and tell us a tooth has been knocked out. We’ll do everything we can to see you quickly

FAQs
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Cranbourne?
We’ll do our best to see you within 24 hours, and often sooner. We can’t always guarantee it, because it depends on how many people need us that day. The earlier you call (03) 5996 6286, the better your chance of a same-day visit.
Are you open on weekends?
Yes, on Saturdays from 9am to 4pm, and Monday to Friday from
9am to 8:30pm. We’re closed on Sundays. If you need a weekend
emergency dentist in Cranbourne, call as early as you can on
Saturday morning. On a Sunday, follow the hospital and NURSEON-CALL advice above.
My child broke or knocked out a baby tooth. What should I do?
Comfort your child and never try to put a baby tooth back in. Keep
any broken pieces in a clean container with a little milk, use a cold — compress for swelling and call us for advice. We’ll check the area gently. If there’s a head or jaw injury, go to hospital.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Strong or ongoing toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth,
swelling, a lost filling or crown, or a broken brace wire are all good reasons to call. If you’re unsure, ring us and describe what’s happening. We’d rather hear from you early than have you put up with pain.
Can you help with wisdom tooth pain?
Yes. Call us if a wisdom tooth is sore or the gum
around it is swollen. We’ll find the cause, focus on relieving your pain and explain your options. For a complex extraction, our network includes a registered specialist oral surgeon at our Lynbrook clinic. If swelling spreads towards your eye or neck, go to hospital.
