Emergency Dentistry Armadale
A toothache or broken tooth rarely waits for a convenient time. When dental pain strikes, Champion Family Dental aims to offer a same-day appointment where availability allows. Call 08 9497 2588, and our team will let you know the earliest available appointment.
Same-Day Care When You Need It Most
Dental emergencies can range from sudden toothache or swelling to a knocked-out tooth after a fall or knock during sport. Wherever possible, our team will arrange an appointment promptly, assess what’s going on and discuss treatment options to address the problem and manage your discomfort.
Common Reasons Patients Call Us Urgently
If you’re unsure whether your situation needs urgent attention, it’s usually best to call and ask.
- Severe or persistent toothache
- Dental abscess, infection or swelling
- Broken, cracked or chipped teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns or veneers
- Knocked-out, loose or displaced teeth
- Dental injuries following sport, falls or accidents
- Significant sensitivity or bleeding after dental trauma
What Happens at an Emergency Appointment?
Your dentist will assess the affected area and may take X-rays or other diagnostic records if required. They’ll explain what may be causing the problem, discuss available treatment options and go over expected costs before treatment proceeds.
You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Common Dental Emergencies
Toothache: Pain can be related to decay, infection, cracks, trauma or gum problems. If it’s severe, persistent or worsening, arrange an assessment.
Swelling or dental abscess: Dental infections may cause pain, tenderness and swelling and can require prompt attention.
Broken or cracked tooth: Your dentist can assess the damage and discuss whether repair or another treatment option may be appropriate.
Knocked-out permanent tooth: Pick the tooth up by the crown rather than the root if possible, and don’t scrub it. Contact the practice immediately for advice and seek urgent dental care.
What Can I Do Until My Appointment?
Avoid chewing on the affected side, keep the area clean and rinse gently with warm salt water if appropriate. If suitable for you, consider an over-the-counter pain reliever and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Don’t place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum.
Dental Emergencies for Children
Children can experience dental emergencies following falls, sport and accidents. If your child has a severe toothache, facial swelling, a broken tooth or another dental injury, contact us promptly. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, seek urgent dental advice.

Champion Family Dental accepts major health funds and has HICAPS available on site, allowing eligible patients to process applicable rebates at the practice. Government assistance may also be available in some circumstances. Ask reception what may apply to you.
