Yes! If you have a dental emergency, our team understands that it can be scary and painful. It can rob you of your rest and leave you exhausted. Fortunately, our emergency dentist in Pascoe Vale, VIC treats dental emergencies, and we always work hard to see you as soon as possible.

A dental emergency can mean many things, including:

  • Toothache
  • Severe tooth sensitivity
  • Jaw pain
  • Jaw swelling
  • Face swelling
  • Broken or lost tooth
  • Broken or lost restoration
  • Soft tissue injury

Our guiding philosophy is that if a dental issue causes you pain or puts your health at risk, we think of it as a dental emergency.

If you have a dental emergency in Pascoe Vale, VIC—or if you are not sure—we encourage you to contact a member of our dental team. We will consider your symptoms and make the proper recommendation—whether to see the dentist immediately or wait a day or so.

If we recommend you come into our dental clinic, you can expect prompt care and thorough evaluation. We will set to work making sure you’re relaxed as well.

The team at Lumino Smiles Dental looks forward to easing your pain and restoring your oral health. For emergency dentistry, we welcome your call.

If you have a knocked-out tooth, we encourage you to call our emergency dentist at Lumino Smiles Dental immediately. Our dentists, Dr Amir and Dr Valerie, are highly skilled and experienced in handling various dental emergencies, including avulsed teeth. We can quickly relieve your pain and discomfort, and we will provide you with the urgent dentistry you need to protect your smile. 

In the meantime, do not touch the dislodged tooth's root; only touch the crown (the visible part that peeks out of your gums). Gently rinse the tooth to remove dirt, debris or blood, and either try to carefully place it back in the socket or place it in a cup of water, milk or your saliva. Bring the tooth with you to your emergency dental appointment, and our team will help you get your smile back on track.
