Emergency dentist in Berala

Often, yes. Berala Dental offers same-day emergency appointments wherever it can, generally in the afternoon, Monday to Saturday. Call (02) 9649 6468 or message on WhatsApp; anyone in pain is treated as urgent, and not every available slot is released online, so calling is the quickest way to be seen.

An emergency visit at Berala Dental starts as a $120 consultation, with the X-rays needed for the problem included. Any treatment is quoted in writing before it starts. Every figure assumes your health fund contributes nothing, and claims are made on the spot through HICAPS.

Severe or throbbing toothache, swelling of the gum or face, a knocked-out or broken tooth, bleeding that will not stop, and pain that keeps you awake all count. Bleeding gums count too. If you are not sure, call Berala Dental and ask; no question is a bad question.

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly in milk; do not scrub it. Put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk, and call Berala Dental on (02) 9649 6468 straight away. The sooner a knocked-out tooth is replaced, the better its chance. Baby teeth should not be put back.

Go to a hospital emergency department or call 000 for swelling that spreads towards the eye or down the neck, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a high fever with facial swelling, heavy bleeding that will not stop with pressure, or a serious injury to the face or jaw.

Berala Dental is open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 4pm, and closed on Sunday. Outside those hours, severe pain, facial swelling or uncontrolled bleeding should be taken to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Yes. Children in pain are seen as urgently as adults at Berala Dental. The children's emergency page explains what to do with a knocked-out, chipped or painful tooth in a child.
