Experiencing a dental emergency right now? Call (08) 8258 0650 — we will do our best to see you today.
When a dental emergency strikes, the instinct is often to search online and book the nearest available slot. Calling us directly at Smile Spot Mawson Lakes will almost always get you seen faster. Our reception team can assess the urgency of your situation over the phone, give you immediate advice on managing pain or trauma, and slot you into the schedule as quickly as possible.
Dental infections and injuries can worsen quickly. An abscess left untreated for several days can spread. A cracked tooth exposed to biting forces may deteriorate further. Early assessment generally means simpler, less costly treatment. Please do not wait to see if it gets better on its own — contact us promptly so we can advise you on the right next step.
We serve the Mawson Lakes community and surrounding northern Adelaide suburbs including Parafield, Salisbury, Ingle Farm, and Para Hills. Our location on Coventry Street is easy to find and has parking available directly outside.
Persistent tooth pain is your body signalling that something needs attention. The cause could be decay reaching the nerve, a cracked tooth, a loose or failing filling, or early infection. We will assess the source of your pain and provide prompt treatment to address it. Over-the-counter pain relief can help in the meantime, but it does not treat the underlying problem.
Teeth can chip or break from a fall, a sports collision, biting down on something hard, or an accident. Depending on the extent of the damage, options may include composite bonding to rebuild the tooth, a dental crown, or in more severe cases root canal treatment. We will assess the damage and explain what is required.
A dislodged filling or crown leaves the underlying tooth exposed and sensitive. Contact us as soon as possible. In the meantime, dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum can provide temporary protection for a lost filling, but these are not substitutes for prompt dental care.
Swelling around a tooth or gum, throbbing pain, fever, or a persistent bad taste in your mouth can all indicate a dental infection. Abscesses require prompt professional treatment — do not attempt to drain them yourself. If swelling is spreading to your face, neck, or jaw, seek emergency medical care immediately.
A tooth that has been completely knocked out — whether from a sports injury or an accident — can sometimes be reimplanted successfully if you act quickly. Handle the tooth only by the crown, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us immediately. Time is the key factor.
Cuts, lacerations, or bruising to the gums, lips, cheeks, or tongue can accompany dental trauma. If bleeding does not stop with gentle pressure after 15 minutes, seek medical attention. Where the injury is dental in nature, we can assess and treat what is within our scope.
A single-dentist practice has one schedule. Smile Spot Mawson Lakes has three dentists — Dr Sunny Suaan, Dr Alissa Kim, and Dr Louise Chen — which means significantly more flexibility to accommodate urgent and same-day appointments. When one dentist's schedule is full, another may have capacity to see you that day.
Our evening hours also mean that if an emergency develops during the day — a sharp pain that comes on at work, or a filling that comes out in the afternoon — you may be able to see us that same evening without disrupting your work or family commitments. We are open Monday to Thursday until 7pm, and Friday until 2pm.
Any situation causing significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or dental trauma should be treated as urgent. This includes toothaches, knocked-out or cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, dental abscesses, and soft tissue injuries. If you are unsure, call us and we can advise you over the phone.
Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water if dirty, and if possible reinsert it into the socket or keep it moist in milk or your own saliva. Call Smile Spot immediately — the sooner you are seen, the better the chances of saving the tooth. Time is critical.
We are open Monday to Thursday until 7pm, which covers many after-work and evening emergencies that other practices cannot accommodate. If your emergency occurs outside our opening hours, please call and listen to our recorded message for guidance. For severe swelling affecting your airway, call 000.
Calling ahead is strongly recommended. It allows us to prepare for your arrival, advise you on managing pain or trauma in the meantime, and confirm that a dentist is available when you arrive. Walk-in patients are seen as quickly as possible, but calling first generally gets you seen faster.
Call (08) 8258 0650 for the fastest response. With three dentists at Smile Spot Mawson Lakes, we have more options to fit you in today.
