Yes, we highly recommend an immediate assessment. Even a chip that doesn’t hurt can expose the inner layers of the tooth to bacteria, leading to decay or infection later on. An emergency appointment allows us to properly seal or repair the damage, preventing future complications.
Time is the most critical factor. You have a very short window (ideally within 30-60 minutes) for successful re-implantation. If possible, gently insert the tooth back into its socket. If not, keep it moist by placing it in a cup of milk, saline solution, or saliva, and get to our clinic immediately.
While we have specific operating hours, we make every effort to fit genuine dental trauma emergencies into our schedule as quickly as possible. Please call us directly on (07) 3846 2548 as soon as the injury occurs, and we will provide you with the next available and most appropriate steps.
