What counts as a dental emergency

Not sure if your symptoms need urgent attention? If you’re experiencing any of the signs below, an emergency endodontist can assess your tooth and help you understand what to do next.

  • Severe or throbbing toothache that makes eating or sleeping difficult
  • Facial swelling around the tooth, jaw or gums that may indicate infection
  • A cracked tooth, causing pain when biting or sensitivity to hot and cold
  • Traumatic dental injuries, such as a knocked-out, displaced or damaged tooth, including injured immature teeth that may suit regenerative endodontics
  • Persistent sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers after the source is removed
  • A previously treated tooth that has become painful or swollen

If you recognise these symptoms, an emergency endodontist in Sydney can assess your tooth and help you understand the right next step.
