Urgent Appointments Reserved for Emergencies

Common Dental Emergencies We Manage
Dr Natasha Lee commonly manages the following urgent dental conditions. Click on any condition to learn more.
Possible causes: Deep decay, nerve inflammation, infection, or a cracked tooth.
Symptoms may include: Constant or throbbing pain, pain that wakes you at night, sensitivity to heat, and pain when biting.
Warning signs may include: Swelling of the face, jaw, or gums, fever or feeling unwell, bad taste or discharge, and difficulty opening the mouth.
This is a time-critical emergency.
What to do immediately: Pick up the tooth by the crown only (not the root), gently rinse with milk or saline if dirty (do not scrub), try to place the tooth back into the socket if possible, or store it in milk or saliva if you cannot. Seek dental care as soon as possible, ideally within 30–60 minutes.
What you can do: Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any broken fragments, apply a cold compress for swelling, and avoid chewing on that side.
This often occurs after dental extraction or trauma and requires prompt assessment.
What you can do: Keep the filling or crown safe and bring it with you to your appointment.
For example, wisdom tooth infection.
Symptoms may include: Swelling around a wisdom tooth, pain when opening the mouth, and bad taste or difficulty cleaning around the area.
Jaw injuries and suspected fractures should be assessed quickly to determine if further imaging or referral is needed.
Dry socket can occur a few days after a tooth extraction when the blood clot is lost or does not form properly.
Symptoms may include: Severe, worsening pain 2–5 days after extraction, pain radiating to the ear, temple, or jaw, bad taste or unpleasant smell, and visible bone in the socket.
If you are unsure whether your symptoms require an emergency visit, you may contact the clinic during opening hours for advice and to help us determine the appropriate timing for your appointment.
What Happens at an Emergency Appointment
At your emergency appointment, Dr Natasha Lee will begin with a focused history and examination of the affected area. She may recommend X-rays or other investigations if needed. Based on the findings, she will discuss the diagnosis, immediate treatment options to relieve symptoms where possible, and any follow-up care that may be required. In some cases, treatment can be started on the same day; in others, a staged approach over several visits may be recommended for your safety and long-term outcome.
Booking and Walk-In Information
