Dental emergencies we treat
The team at Core Dental Group South Melbourne handles a wide range of urgent situations:
- Severe toothache or throbbing dental pain
- Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
- Knocked-out tooth (dental avulsion) — act immediately, this is time-critical
- Lost or dislodged filling or crown
- Dental abscess or swelling
- Bleeding gums or mouth
- Broken dentures or orthodontic appliances
- Swollen jaw or face
- Mouth ulcers or soft tissue injuries
What to do in a dental emergency
For a knocked-out tooth: pick it up by the crown, not the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline. If you can, place it back in the socket and hold it there. If that's not possible, keep it in milk or between your cheek and gum. Get to the practice as quickly as you can — the sooner you arrive, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
If swelling is making it hard to swallow or breathe, call 000 immediately. Those symptoms can mean a spreading infection that needs hospital treatment.
For everything else, call Core Dental Group South Melbourne on (03) 9114 7700 or 13 13 16.
HICAPS on-site
HICAPS is available for immediate health fund claiming, which helps keep your out-of-pocket costs down even when you're coming in at short notice.
No referral needed
You don't need a referral. Call and the team will take it from there.
Located on Clarendon Street near South Melbourne Market, the practice is easy to reach by tram from the CBD and inner suburbs. Weekday hours run until 6:00 pm, so emergency care is available well into the evening.
Pain management and comfort
Dental pain is distressing, and the team works to sort that out as soon as you arrive. Local anaesthetic is used to relieve pain quickly, and for patients who are particularly anxious, happy gas is available — just let the team know when you call.
