What’s included in the $99 emergency appointment
- An examination focused on the source of your pain
- X-rays and clinical photos
- Any necessary diagnostic tests
- A clear explanation of what’s wrong and your options
- A written quote for any treatment, before it starts
If treatment is needed, we often relieve pain at the same visit. Depending on the cause, that might mean dressing or stabilising the tooth, starting root canal treatment, an extraction, or a temporary filling. Treatment is quoted separately, and nothing goes ahead without your agreement.
First aid while you wait
Knocked-out adult tooth
Hold it by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it gently in milk or saline without scrubbing. If you can, push it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If not, keep it in a cup of milk. Call us straight away: the first 30–60 minutes matter most. Don’t put a baby tooth back in.
Severe toothache
Rinse with warm salt water, gently floss to remove any trapped food, and take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packet. Never put aspirin on the gum, because it burns the tissue. A cold pack on the cheek can help.
Broken or cracked tooth
Rinse your mouth, keep any pieces, and cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum or dental wax. Avoid chewing on that side and avoid very hot or cold drinks.
Swelling or abscess
Rinse with warm salt water and use a cold pack on the outside of your cheek. Don’t use heat. Call us the same day. If the swelling affects your breathing, swallowing or eye, go to an emergency department.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the crown safe and bring it with you. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can cover the area until your appointment. Don’t use household glue.
Bleeding after an extraction
Bite firmly on a clean, damp gauze or a damp tea bag for 30 minutes without checking it. Avoid rinsing, spitting, smoking and hot drinks. If it keeps bleeding heavily, call us, or go to an emergency department if we’re closed. See our home care instructions.

Need a dentist after hours or on Sunday?
Perth Prime Dental isn’t a 24-hour clinic. If you have a dental problem when we’re closed:
- Life-threatening symptoms (swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, a jaw injury): go to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 000.
- Not sure how urgent it is? Call healthdirect on 1800 022 222 (24/7) for free advice from a registered nurse.
- Pain you can manage overnight: use the first-aid steps above and call us when we open at 7:30am (8am on Saturday). We keep time for emergencies.
How much does emergency dental treatment cost?
The emergency appointment is $99. The cost of any treatment depends on the cause, and you’ll get a quote first. Health fund rebates often apply, and we can claim on the spot. Our cost guides: root canal cost, fillings, and payment options, including payment plans.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see an emergency dentist in Perth CBD today?
Usually, yes. We keep time for emergencies and aim to see you the same day during opening hours. Call (08) 9325 4175 as early as you can.
How much is an emergency dental appointment?
$99, including an examination, X-rays, clinical photos and any necessary diagnostic tests. Treatment is quoted separately before it begins.
Are you a 24-hour dentist?
No. We’re open Monday to Thursday 7:30am–7:30pm, Friday 7:30am–5pm and Saturday 8am–1pm. Outside these hours, go to a hospital emergency department for severe swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or jaw injuries, or call healthdirect on 1800 022 222 for advice.
What should I do if a tooth gets knocked out?
Hold the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently in milk or saline without scrubbing, and put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk. Call us immediately. Acting within 30–60 minutes gives the best chance of saving it.
Is a toothache an emergency?
A severe, throbbing toothache, or toothache with swelling or fever, should be seen the same day, because it often means infection. Mild sensitivity can usually wait a few days, but don’t ignore it.
Do I need to be an existing patient?
No. New patients are welcome for emergency appointments, and no referral is needed.
