Emergency Dentist in Hervey Bay

When an unexpected dental issue disrupts your day, having access to compassionate, same-day care is essential. If you have a dental emergency and live in or around Hervey Bay, call Viva Family Dental. We prioritise same-day emergency dental appointments, ensuring you receive prompt attention. We also guarantee same-day appointments when booked before midday, Monday to Friday.

Delaying treatment for a dental emergency can escalate pain or even risk your long-term oral health – especially when your dental issue makes eating, drinking, or even sleeping uncomfortable. Our team is here to ensure you get the care you need before it becomes a bigger issue. Let’s get you back to feeling like yourself again, and call us without delay.

When Should You Contact Us For Immediate Dental Care?

Understandably, many patients may wonder if their situation requires emergency dental care. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, then we kindly request that you call us immediately:

Knocked-Out Tooth

A tooth that has been completely dislodged requires urgent care to attempt reattachment.

Chipped Or Broken Tooth

Tooth fractures that expose a nerve can result in intense pain and sensitivity, while also increasing your risk of infection.

Persistent Toothache

If your toothache persists despite medication, it could indicate an underlying issue such as a cavity, infection, or nerve damage. Symptoms often include sharp or throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling.

Lost Filling Or Crown

A lost filling or crown can leave your tooth exposed, causing discomfort and increasing the risk of further damage.

Dental Abscess

A bacterial infection near the tooth root or gums can lead to a pus-filled abscess, causing intense pain, swelling, a bitter taste in the mouth, and sometimes a fever.

Uncontrollable Bleeding Of The Mouth Or Gums

Ongoing bleeding, particularly after surgery, could indicate complications with healing or underlying clotting disorders. Our emergency dentists will assess any cuts, tears, or excessive bleeding in the gums, lips, or cheeks.

Facial Swelling

Often caused by an infection or abscess in the mouth, facial swelling can impact your jaw or gums, leading to pain, warmth, tenderness, and sometimes fever.

When in doubt, it’s always best to contact our Hervey Bay emergency dentists. Early intervention can prevent complications and ensure the best outcome for you.

Your Treatment Options

Depending on the cause, treatment options may involve fillings, root canals, drainage, or other restorative procedures to alleviate discomfort and address the root problem.

We don’t want cost to stand in the way of your dental care, so we’ve got plenty of flexible payment options to make things easier. As a preferred provider for NIB, its subsidiaries, smile.com.au, and HCF, we’ll help you get the most out of your health insurance. Need a payment plan? Choose Denticare or Afterpay (for treatments up to $2,000), or ask about our in-house plans for more extensive treatments. We’ll work with you to find a solution that fits your budget, so you can focus on your smile – not the bill.
