A dental emergency can happen at any time — a sudden toothache in the middle of the night, a broken tooth from a fall, a swollen jaw from an abscess, or a crown that comes off on the morning of an important event. Whatever the situation, Peninsula Dental in Mornington is here to help as quickly as possible.
We reserve emergency appointment slots every day so that patients in urgent need are not left waiting days for relief. Call us first thing on (03) 5925 9293 and our reception team will do everything possible to fit you in the same day. For dental trauma involving knocked-out or displaced teeth, immediate action significantly improves outcomes — please call us immediately.
After providing emergency pain relief, we will thoroughly assess the affected tooth and discuss all available treatment options with you — from temporary measures to definitive long-term solutions — with clear information about costs so you can make an informed decision.
Prompt assessment identifies the cause of pain — whether decay, abscess, cracked tooth or gum infection — followed by treatment to relieve pain and address the underlying problem.
Fractured teeth are assessed for severity and managed with bonding, a temporary crown or other appropriate restoration to protect the tooth and restore function.
A lost filling or crown leaves the tooth exposed and sensitive. We re-cement or replace the restoration promptly to protect the tooth and restore comfort.
A dental abscess is a serious bacterial infection requiring urgent treatment. We drain the abscess, provide antibiotic therapy where indicated and address the underlying cause.
Teeth knocked out, displaced or fractured in accidents need immediate attention. We re-implant avulsed teeth where possible and manage fractures to maximise the long-term prognosis.
Lacerations to the lips, cheeks or tongue following dental trauma are assessed and managed, with referral for stitching where required.
We hold emergency appointment capacity every day — so you are not left in pain waiting for days when an urgent dental situation arises.
We understand dental emergencies are frightening. Our team provides immediate reassurance and works calmly and efficiently to get you out of pain as quickly as possible.
After emergency treatment, we arrange a follow-up appointment to complete any further treatment needed — ensuring the problem is fully resolved, not just temporarily managed.
Pick up the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse without scrubbing, and place it back in the socket if possible — or keep it moist in milk or between your cheek and gum. Call us immediately on (03) 5925 9293 — time is critical.
We strongly recommend calling ahead on (03) 5925 9293 so we can prepare for your arrival and minimise your wait. Walk-in emergencies are accommodated where possible based on capacity.
For emergencies outside our opening hours, your nearest hospital emergency department can provide pain relief and management of dental infections. Call us as early as possible on the next business day for follow-up care.
Costs vary depending on the treatment required. We always provide a clear estimate before proceeding with any treatment so you can make an informed decision. HICAPS is available for immediate private health fund processing.
Yes — a dental abscess is a bacterial infection that will not resolve on its own and can spread if left untreated. Please seek dental attention promptly. If you experience swelling, difficulty swallowing or breathing, go directly to hospital emergency.
