Emergency Dentistry

Emergencies such as dental trauma and facial swellings can be a stressful situation for you and your child. Urgent and proper management is very important in ensuring the best possible outcome.

At Southside Paediatric Dentistry, we prioritise children’s dental emergencies and we offer same-day appointments whenever possible. If your child’s tooth emergency occurs outside of our regular business hours, you can contact one of our Paediatric dentists directly.

Handling Common Dental Emergencies

Some of the emergencies we handle at Southside Paediatric Dentistry are:

• Facial swelling, pain or dental abscesses
• Dental trauma
• Broken or chipped teeth
• Soft tissue injuries to cheeks, lips or tongue
• Toothaches

Contact our team immediately if your child is experiencing a dental emergency. 

At Southside Paediatric Dentistry, we aim to make every child’s experience as pleasant and stress-free as possible, even during a tooth emergency.

With over 30 years of experience dealing with dental trauma in hospitals and private practice, Dr Soni Stephen and Dr Jeena Paul will ensure your child is given top priority to manage their dental needs. 

If your child needs treatment, we offer dental sedation with nitrous oxide (happy gas) to help alleviate anxiety. If their case is more complicated, we can discuss treatment with general anaesthesia in a hospital setting to ensure their comfort.

For emergencies during office hours, please call the practice on 02 9531 8488. For after-hours emergencies, please contact Dr Soni Stephen on 0414 802 646.
