What counts as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency is typically a situation that requires prompt attention to minimise the risk of further complications or alleviate significant discomfort. Common examples include:

  • Severe or persistent toothache
  • Knocked-out or dislodged teeth
  • Cracked or broken teeth with pain or sharp edges
  • Heavy bleeding from the mouth that doesn’t stop with pressure
  • Swelling in the face, jaw, or gums
  • Soft-tissue injuries inside the mouth


If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, contacting Broadway Smiles allows the dental team to advise you on the appropriate next steps.

Yes, in some cases, a knocked-out tooth may be managed if care is sought quickly. The chance of success depends on factors such as the duration of the tooth’s absence from the mouth and its handling.

A dental assessment is still recommended to check for damage to the surrounding area.

Recovery time depends on the number of teeth removed and the complexity of the procedure. Most patients experience some swelling or tenderness for a few days.

Careful attention to aftercare instructions, including a balanced diet and proper oral hygiene, can help support a smoother recovery.

While waiting to be seen, you may be able to take temporary steps to manage the situation:

  • Bleeding: Apply gentle, firm pressure with clean gauze or cloth
  • Swelling: A cold compress on the cheek may help reduce swelling
  • Toothache: Over-the-counter pain relief may be used as directed by your pharmacist or doctor
  • Lost filling or crown: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side
  • Knocked-out tooth: Store in milk or saline if reinsertion is not possible


Always seek professional advice as early as possible, as these measures are only temporary.

Eligible children aged 2–17 may access up to $1,000 in benefits over two calendar years for basic dental care. This may include:
