Before You Reach Us
Dental emergency first aid
While you sort out your appointment, these simple steps might help. They won’t replace proper treatment - so please still ring us.
Knocked-out tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown - the top part - never the root. If you can, gently place it back in the socket. If not, keep it in milk. Australian health authorities like healthdirect say a knocked-out adult tooth has the best chance when it’s put back within about an hour, so call us straight away. For children under six, head to your nearest children’s hospital.
Severe toothache
Rinse with warm salty water and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packaging or by your pharmacist. If there’s swelling, hold a cold compress to the outside of your cheek and book an appointment quickly.
Broken or chipped tooth
Keep any fragments. Rinse your mouth with warm water and use a cold compress if it swells. Try not to chew on that side until you’re seen.
Lost crown or filling
Keep the restoration safe - it can often be re-cemented rather than replaced. Avoid chewing on that side and book in soon.
Facial swelling
Swelling can mean infection and needs checking fast. Call us as soon as you can. If it’s severe or affecting your breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
Prevent sport injuries
A custom mouthguard is a simple, proven way to cut the risk of sporting dental injuries. Learn more about custom mouthguards.
These steps buy you time - but they don’t replace treatment. Still ring our emergency dentist on (02) 4023 3885.

Frequently asked questions
QCan I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Mayfield?
Often, yes. As a same-day dentist in Mayfield, we hold emergency slots in our daily schedule and do everything we can to see patients in real pain on the same day, during opening hours. Calling early gives you the best shot. Phone (02) 4023 3885.
QWhat counts as a dental emergency?
Any problem that needs prompt care: severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a dental abscess, facial swelling, a lost filling or crown, a broken denture, bleeding that won’t stop, or any dental pain getting in the way of daily life. If you’re not sure, just call and we’ll help you sort it out.
QDo you treat patients who aren’t regular patients of MS Dental?
Absolutely. Our emergency dentist in Mayfield is happy to see brand-new patients alongside the families we already know.
QWhere is your emergency dentist in Mayfield located?
Our Mayfield clinic is located at 181 Maitland Rd, Mayfield NSW 2304, with parking available at the front and a dedicated parking bay at the rear. Call us on (02) 4023 3885 if you need an urgent dental appointment.
QWhat should I do with a knocked-out tooth?
Hold it by the crown, never the root. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, then phone us straight away. The sooner you’re seen, the better the odds the tooth survives. For a child under six, head to your closest children’s hospital.
QHow much does an emergency dental visit cost?
It depends on the treatment you need, and your dentist will walk you through the cost before anything happens. We accept every private health fund and offer payment plans to soften the cost of bigger treatment.
QWhat if I have a dental emergency after hours?
Call (02) 4023 3885, and our team will assist you during opening hours. If you contact us outside these hours, you can leave a voicemail or use our online booking system to request the next available appointment. For urgent situations involving heavy bleeding, swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, or facial trauma, seek immediate medical attention at your nearest hospital emergency department or call 000.
QDo you treat children’s dental emergencies in Mayfield?
Yes. We provide gentle, age-appropriate emergency care for kids, and some children may qualify for treatment under the Child Dental Benefit Schedule.
