What is a Dental Emergency?
What If I Have a Severe Toothache or Infection?
Even with good oral hygiene, infections in the root or surrounding tissues can still develop — often without warning. If you’re dealing with persistent or throbbing tooth pain, it’s important to contact a dentist for professional assessment.
At Accolade Dental, we perform a thorough examination of your teeth, gums and jaw, often using X-rays to pinpoint the source of infection. Our first priority is to assess the cause of discomfort and discuss appropriate treatment options to prevent the issue from worsening.
A damaged crown, veneer or dental bridge isn’t just a cosmetic issue — it can expose your tooth to sensitivity, decay or infection. At Accolade Dental, we provide timely professional assessment and discuss options aimed at addressing function and appearance, depending on the clinical situation. It’s important to seek assessment as soon as possible, as early treatment may help reduce the risk of further complications.
Knocked-Out Tooth – What to Do and Who to Call
Losing a tooth due to injury is a dental emergency that requires prompt attention. The sooner you act, the greater the chance that the tooth may be saved. Contact Accolade Dental as soon as possible — our team will aim to prioritise your appointment and provide appropriate care. If you can, bring the tooth and avoid touching the root. Our dental team will assess the injury, explain your options, and commence treatment as appropriate.
Ongoing Dental Pain? Don’t Wait to Get Help
Constant or recurring dental pain is often a sign of an underlying issue. Whether it’s a cracked tooth, gum infection, or sensitivity, delaying care may allow the problem to worsen. Our Adelaide team at Accolade Dental offers prompt appointments and flexible payment options to help ensure you receive the care you need, when you need it. Contact our team to arrange an appointment with an emergency dentist in Adelaide and discuss suitable treatment options for your situation.
Chipped Tooth or Lost Filling – Should I See an Emergency Dentist?
A chipped tooth or missing filling may seem minor, but seeking prompt care helps prevent decay, infection, or further breakage. At Accolade Dental, we use dental-grade, colour-matched composite materials where appropriate to restore the affected area — blending it closely with your natural tooth. It’s best not to delay treatment, as early attention can help reduce the risk of further damage and support ongoing oral health where clinically appropriate.
Can an Emergency Dentist Help With an Impacted Tooth?
Yes — in many cases, a dentist can assist with an impacted tooth. An impacted tooth — one that fails to break through the gum — can cause pressure, swelling, or discomfort that may not resolve without professional care. If ignored, it may damage surrounding teeth or soft tissue. Our experienced dental team in Seaford Heights can assess the problem and recommend suitable treatment options to help relieve your symptoms and protect your oral health. Contact our team to arrange an appointment with an emergency dentist in Adelaide.

FAQ
What qualifies as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes any situation involving pain, swelling, bleeding, or trauma to your teeth or gums. Common examples include toothaches, knocked-out teeth, broken crowns, or infections. If you’re unsure, it’s best to contact a dentist for a professional assessment — our team can help determine whether urgent care is needed.
Can I get a same-day appointment for a dental emergency?
In many cases, yes. At Accolade Dental, we aim to keep availability for urgent cases and will advise on appointment options based on current capacity. Please contact us as soon as you notice a problem so we can discuss suitable appointment times.
How much does it cost to see an emergency dentist in Adelaide?
Costs can vary depending on the nature of the emergency and required treatment. At Accolade Dental, we provide transparent pricing and flexible payment options may be available to eligible patients to assist with managing treatment costs. We accept all major health funds and provide flexible payment options, including the Child Dental Benefit Scheme and SA Dental vouchers.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it carefully by the crown (not the root), gently rinse it, and try to place it back in the socket — or store it in milk. Contact Accolade Dental’s emergency dentist in Seaford Heights as soon as possible. Acting promptly may improve the chance of saving the tooth.
Do you offer emergency dental care for children?
Yes. We understand how distressing dental emergencies can be for little ones — and for parents. Our team is experienced in managing paediatric dental emergencies and aims to provide gentle, supportive care in a calm environment.
