Broken Tooth Emergency | Asquith Dentists

A broken tooth can happen suddenly while eating, playing sport, or even biting something hard. It can be painful and worrying, but quick action can help protect your tooth and reduce complications.

At Asquith Dentists, we provide prompt emergency dental care to help you manage broken or damaged teeth and get relief as quickly as possible.


What to do if you break a tooth?

If you break a tooth, try to stay calm and follow these simple steps:

1. Call our clinic immediately
Contact Asquith Dentists on (02) 8014 4288 so we can arrange an urgent appointment.

2. Save the broken piece
If you can find the broken part of the tooth, keep it in a clean container or milk. In some cases, it may be possible to reattach it.

3. Protect the area
Avoid chewing on the affected side and stick to soft foods until you are seen.


Emergency dental care at Asquith Dentists

When you arrive, our team will gently assess your tooth and take necessary X-rays to understand the damage. We focus on making you comfortable first, then explain the best treatment options clearly.

Treatment may include:

  • Dental bonding to repair small chips
  • Crowns for more significant damage

Our goal is to restore your tooth and help you return to normal function as soon as possible.
