What to Do Before You Get to Us
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown, avoiding the root. Gently rinse in milk if dirty, and re-insert if possible. Otherwise, store in milk and see us immediately.
Severe Toothache
If you have toothache in Werribee, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water and use floss to clear debris. Manage pain with over-the-counter medication as directed. Never apply aspirin directly to gums.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Keep the fragment safely in milk. Rinse your mouth, apply a cold compress to your cheek, and contact us to repair broken teeth in Werribee.
Lost Crown or Filling
Keep the crown safe in a container. Try not to chew on that side, and never use household glues for a self-repair.
Facial Swelling
Apply a cold compress to the affected area. Sleep with your head elevated on pillows, and call our clinic the same day for an appointment.
Your Appointment and What We Treat
We start with a calming conversation to address your fears, focusing on pain relief and clinical assessment. We take digital X-rays if necessary and transparently explain your options before proceeding. We aim to settle the problem now and plan the rest later.
Our comprehensive dental services in Werribee cover toothaches, root canals, gentle extractions, wisdom tooth management, restorative repairs, and dental abscess treatment. Whether a tooth can be saved depends entirely on our assessment.
Costs, Health Funds and Concessions
We believe emergency dentistry in Werribee should come with total transparency and zero financial surprises. Costs depend on the initial exam, necessary X-rays, and the specific treatment provided, all of which are explained fully before starting.
We accept major health funds with instant HICAPS claiming and EFTPOS. We bulk bill Medicare for eligible children under the Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS) and proudly support DVA gold and white cardholders.
Free and Public Emergency Dental in Victoria
Concession card holders may be eligible for public emergency dental care. This subsidised route is provided by the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne and local clinics, usually requiring a small co-payment.
Public care can mean waiting. Our private practice provides a fast alternative for patients who cannot wait or are ineligible for public schemes.
