Emergency Dentist in Tweed Heads

Woman with extreme jaw pain “Emergency!” – it’s a word that nobody wants to hear. Yet, emergencies can happen at any time. It’s no different when it comes to your teeth. At TC Smiles, we provide emergency dental care for all ages. Contact us straightaway, let us know your situation and we will prioritise finding a spot to work you into our schedule on the day.

Our dental team will work efficiently to address your problem, get you out of pain and ensure that you’re happy when we’ve completed your treatment.

When to Call Us

You might be wondering if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency. When in doubt, call. It’s better to discuss your concern with us than to try to ignore it and let the problem worsen. Some of the common emergencies we see include toothaches, broken teeth and trauma from sports injuries.

The sooner we see you, the more likely a better outcome is to happen. Remember that if a person is unconscious, call emergency services straightaway.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

If you’re unsure whether your issue requires urgent care, here’s a good rule of thumb: if it hurts, it’s an emergency. Common concerns include:

Persistent toothaches
Facial swelling, infection or abscess
Broken or knocked-out teeth
Sudden jaw pain
Severe pain after a tooth extraction
Unexplained bleeding
Dental Trauma like a knocked out, chipped, cracked, or broken tooth

Pain is your body’s way of saying something’s wrong – and the sooner you see a dentist, the better the outcome. Our team is trained to triage your symptoms over the phone and book you in as quickly as possible.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

Some people wait because their tooth “only hurts sometimes.” But pain is often the tip of the iceberg. What starts as mild discomfort can quickly develop into nerve inflammation, infection, or even a dental abscess. Fast care can stop the problem in its tracks and prevent more complicated (and costly) procedures later on.
