At First Impressions Dental, we offer same day emergency appointments across Perth to help treat urgent dental problems as quickly as possible. When you are in pain, the priority is to relieve discomfort, assess what is happening and help you move forward with the right treatment.
When you may need an emergency dentist?
Dental emergencies can happen suddenly and can quickly become hard to ignore. Some issues may start as discomfort and worsen over a short period of time, while others, such as trauma or a knocked out tooth, need urgent attention straight away.
At First Impressions Dental, common dental emergencies treated include:
- knocked out teeth
- toothache
- tooth abscess
- broken fillings and crowns
- denture repairs
If you are unsure whether your problem is urgent, it is still important to call. A severe toothache, swelling, bleeding, infection or dental trauma should not be left too long without assessment.
Why emergency dental care matters?
Emergency dentistry is about more than dealing with pain in the moment. It is also about identifying the cause of the problem and helping prevent the issue from becoming worse.
Sudden dental pain, swelling, infection, trauma, bleeding or tooth damage can be a sign of a deeper issue that needs attention. Prompt treatment can help reduce discomfort, protect the affected tooth where possible and give you a clearer plan for what needs to happen next.
For many patients, fast access to care also provides peace of mind. When something feels wrong, knowing where to go and what to do can make the situation feel much more manageable.

What to do in a dental emergency?
If you have a dental emergency, the first step is to call your closest clinic. If it is during business hours, speak to the team for guidance and to arrange an appointment as soon as possible.
A few important steps may help before you are seen:
- rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area
- if there is bleeding, apply pressure with a clean cloth or gauze
- if there is swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek
- over the counter pain relief such as ibuprofen or paracetamol may help ease discomfort
- if a tooth has been knocked out, find it, hold it by the crown rather than the root, rinse it gently and store it in milk
These steps do not replace treatment, but they can help reduce further damage while you arrange urgent dental care.
What to do if you have knocked out a tooth?
If you have knocked out a tooth, try to locate it as quickly as possible. Pick it up carefully by the crown and avoid touching the root. Gently rinse off any dirt, then store the tooth in a sealed container filled with milk or contact solution. Apply pressure to the area with a clean cloth or tissue if there is bleeding.
Time matters in this situation. The sooner you can get to the clinic, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
What to expect at your emergency appointment?
At First Impressions Dental, emergency appointments are designed to focus on control and clarity. The first step is to understand your symptoms, check the affected tooth and surrounding tissues, and look for signs such as swelling or infection. If the cause is not obvious, imaging may be needed to understand what is happening below the surface.
Once the issue has been identified, the next priority is pain relief and stabilisation. Depending on the problem, this may involve temporary repair, infection control or protective treatment to help make the area more comfortable. From there, the next steps can be explained clearly so you understand what is happening and what treatment may be needed.

Emergency Dentist FAQs
What is considered a dental emergency?
A dental emergency can include severe tooth pain, a broken or chipped tooth, a lost filling or crown, an abscessed tooth, or another condition that needs immediate attention to relieve pain or prevent further damage.
How do I know if I need emergency dental care?
If you have severe pain, swelling, bleeding, infection, trauma or a knocked out tooth, it is best to contact a dentist as soon as possible. These problems should not be ignored.
What should I do if I have a toothache?
Call your nearest clinic for advice and an appointment. You can rinse your mouth with warm water and use over the counter pain relief if needed while arranging urgent care.
What should I do if I lose a crown or filling?
A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth exposed and sensitive, so it should be assessed as soon as possible to prevent further discomfort or damage.
How should I handle a broken or chipped tooth?
Broken or chipped teeth should be examined promptly, especially if there is pain, sensitivity or bleeding. Early treatment can help stabilise the tooth and reduce the risk of further damage.
What should I do with an abscessed tooth?
A tooth abscess can be serious and should be treated as soon as possible. If you have swelling, spreading pain or feel unwell, contact a dentist urgently.
Can I get emergency dental care after office hours?
First Impressions Dental has several clinics across Perth with extended hours, including weekends, to help make emergency dental care more accessible.
