Common problems we see as your emergency dentist in Lang Lang
From farm and footy knocks to a toothache that kept you up all
night, these are the problems we see most from around Lang Lang
and South Gippsland.
Toothache relief
A toothache can mean decay, a cracked tooth, gum trouble or an
infection starting, and it’s hard to tell which on your own. We’ll
examine the tooth, take an X-ray if needed and explain what’s
going on. Our first aim is to relieve your pain and get you
comfortable.
Broken or chipped teeth
A knock on the farm or worksite, a hit at footy or netball, or biting
something hard can crack or chip a tooth. Even a small chip can
leave a sharp edge or expose the sensitive layer inside. We’ll
check the damage, protect the tooth and explain your repair
options.
Knocked-out teeth
A knocked-out adult tooth is one of the most urgent dental
problems, because time matters. Ideally it should be seen within
30 minutes. Call us straight away and we’ll tell you what to do
before you leave. Being close by means less time on the road.
Lost fillings or crowns
When a filling or crown comes out, the tooth underneath can feel sensitive or sharp and is easier to damage. It’s usually less urgent than a knocked-out tooth, but worth seeing us soon. We’ll check the tooth and, if the crown is intact, see whether it can go back on.
Abscesses and infections
An abscess is an infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum.
Signs include a throbbing ache, a pimple-like bump on the gum,
swelling, a bad taste or a fever. It needs prompt treatment of the
source, and we’ll find the cause and start treatment as soon as we
can.
Orthodontic emergencies
Braces and clear aligners have their own small emergencies: a wire that pokes, a loose bracket, or an aligner that breaks or goes missing. They can be uncomfortable, especially for kids. Call us and we’ll arrange a time to fix or adjust things.
A knockedout tooth in Lang Lang: act fast and call ahead
Out here, a knock from footy, a horse, farm work or a fall can
happen a fair drive from help. For a knocked-out adult tooth, time matters: ideally it should be seen within 30 minutes, so the steps you take on the spot really count.
If you’re coming from Nyora, Koo Wee Rup or further along the
coast, call us before you set off so we’re ready when you arrive.
1
Pick the tooth up by the crown, the white chewing part, not by
the root.
2
If it’s dirty, give it a quick rinse in milk or saline. Don’t scrub it,
and keep it moist.
3
If you can, gently push it back into the socket the right way
round, then bite on a clean cloth for the trip in.
4
If it won’t go back, carry it in a small container of milk. An adult can keep it in their mouth against the cheek.
5
Call us on (03) 9069 2026 straight away. Tell us a tooth has been knocked out and roughly how far away you are.
Why trust Lang Lang Dental with your dental emergency?
We’re a family clinic in a country town, and many of the people we
see are our neighbours. We know injuries often happen on the
farm, on the job or at weekend sport, and that kids have accidents
at the worst times. Our calm, friendly team will explain things in
plain words and take the time you need.
We’re part of My Dentist Network, a group of five local clinics. For complex extractions or troublesome wisdom teeth, our network includes a registered specialist oral surgeon at our Lynbrook clinic. For everything else, we’ll look after you here in Lang Lang.
What happens when you come in to Lang Lang Dental
1
We listen and check
We’ll ask what happened and how you’re feeling, then look
carefully at the tooth and the area around it, with an X-ray if we need a clearer picture. If you’re nervous, tell us and we’ll go at your pace.
2
We focus on relief
Our first priority is to relieve your pain and get you comfortable. That might mean treating the problem on the day, or temporary
care that protects the tooth until a follow-up visit.
3
We plan the next steps
Before any further treatment, we’ll explain your options and the
costs in plain words so you can decide what’s right for you, and
tell you how to care for the tooth at home.

FAQs
Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment in Lang Lang?
We’ll do our best to see you within 24 hours, and often sooner, but we can’t always guarantee it because it depends on how many people need urgent care that day. Call us early on (03) 9069 2026 and we’ll find the earliest time we can.
Are you open on weekends?
We’re open Saturdays from 9am to 4pm, and weekdays until
8:30pm. We’re closed on Sundays. If something happens on a
Sunday and it can wait, call us on Monday morning. For advice in
the meantime, call NURSE-ON-CALL on 1300 60 60 24, or 000 in
an emergency
My child has knocked out a tooth. What should I do?
Never try to put a baby tooth back in; call us for advice instead. If it’s an adult tooth, hold it by the crown, keep it in milk and call us straight away, because time matters. If your child has hit their head or jaw, go to hospital. You can read more about our children’s
dental care
I've hurt my mouth on the farm or at work. What should I do?
If you’ve had a knock to the head or jaw, or bleeding won’t stop,
call 000 or go to the nearest emergency department. If it’s just your teeth, call us straight away. Bring any broken pieces or a knocked-out tooth in milk, and we’ll do our best to see you within 24 hours.
I'm in Corinella, Coronet Bay or Grantville. Can you help?
Yes. We see patients from right around Western Port. If you need an emergency dentist in Corinella or Grantville, call us before you
set off. We’ll book the earliest time we can and tell you what to do on the way along the Bass Highway.
Is wisdom tooth pain an emergency?
It can be. Wisdom teeth that are partly through the gum can trap food and become sore, swollen or infected. We’ll check the tooth and work on relieving your pain. For a complex extraction, our network includes a registered specialist oral surgeon at our Lynbrook clinic. If swelling is spreading or swallowing is hard, go to hospital.
