Wisdom Tooth Pain

Wisdom tooth pain can be linked directly to our Tooth & Wisdom Tooth Extractions page for assessment and treatment information.

Knocked-Out Adult Tooth

Hold the tooth by the crown rather than the root. If dirty, gently rinse without scrubbing. If possible, replace it in the socket; otherwise keep it moist in milk and contact a dentist immediately. Do not reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth.

When to Seek Urgent Medical Care

If you have rapidly increasing facial or neck swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or feel seriously unwell, seek urgent medical attention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I book an emergency online?

For urgent problems, calling the clinic directly is preferable so the team can understand the problem and advise about appointment availability.

Can you see wisdom tooth emergencies?

Yes. We assess wisdom tooth problems and perform suitable extractions; complex cases may be referred.

What if my toothache stops?

Pain can change even when a dental problem remains. An assessment may still be appropriate.
