Dental problems we can assess
Patients contact us for toothache, chipped or broken teeth, facial swelling, dental trauma, painful wisdom teeth, lost fillings, loose crowns, sore gums and suspected infections. Some cases need same-day attention; others need a careful examination and staged treatment.
If you are unsure whether your issue is urgent, call the clinic and describe your symptoms. The team can tell you whether to book with Dental.Affect or seek medical care first.
What happens at an emergency appointment
The dentist will assess the painful or damaged area, discuss what has happened, and explain the immediate options. That may include pain relief advice, an X-ray, temporary stabilisation, infection management, a filling, extraction, or referral if the problem needs care outside the clinic.
Emergency treatment focuses on the urgent problem first. Any longer-term repair can be planned once pain, infection or damage has been assessed.
