Emergency
in Petaling Jaya
Toothache, swelling, broken teeth, lost crowns, knocked-out teeth and bleeding seen during opening hours in SS2, with pain relief first and the definitive treatment planned after.
Overview
What counts as a dental emergency
A dental emergency is any problem that needs attention the same day: severe toothache, a swelling or abscess, a broken tooth or filling, a crown or bridge that has come off, a knocked-out tooth, a jaw that will not open or close, a broken denture, or bleeding that does not stop after an extraction. We see emergency patients during opening hours, relieve the pain or stabilise the problem first, and then plan the definitive treatment.
Seen during opening hours
Emergency patients are prioritised by pain and swelling.
Relief first
Drain, dress, re-cement or remove, then plan the definitive treatment.
Fee explained before we proceed

Step by Step
How an emergency visit runs
What happens at each stage.
- 1
Contact us
Call or WhatsApp during opening hours, describe the problem and send a photo if you can. We give first-aid advice while you travel.
- 2
Priority slot
Emergency patients are seen during opening hours and prioritised according to pain and swelling.
- 3
Diagnosis
Examination and an X-ray to find the cause: infection, a crack, an exposed nerve, a lost restoration or a joint problem.
- 4
Relief first
Draining an abscess, a soothing temporary dressing, a temporary filling or crown, re-cementing, or removing a tooth that cannot be saved.
- 5
Definitive treatment
The definitive treatment, such as root canal treatment, a crown or a replacement tooth, is planned once the pain is controlled.
What To Expect
What to expect
The practical things patients ask about.
Pain from an infection usually eases within 24 to 48 hours once the cause is treated. Antibiotics alone do not fix a dental infection.
Local anaesthesia is used to keep you as comfortable as possible. An acutely infected tooth can take longer to numb, and the area usually stays numb for two to four hours afterwards.
Temporary fixes are exactly that and need a follow-up visit for the definitive treatment.
A knocked-out adult tooth does best when it is put back in the socket straight away, ideally within 30 minutes. If you cannot, keep it in milk and come straight in.
Fees
What affects the fee
Fees are quoted per case. These factors move the figure.
The cause and the treatment needed on the day: a dressing, a temporary restoration, drainage, re-cementing or an extraction.
X-rays needed to find the cause.
The definitive treatment that follows, such as root canal treatment, a crown or a replacement tooth.
We explain the fee for the emergency visit before proceeding, and give a written plan for the follow-up treatment.

In Depth
More detail
Open a topic for the full explanation.
A dental emergency includes severe toothache that keeps you awake, a swelling of the gum or face, or a knocked-out or broken tooth. It also includes a crown, bridge or filling that has come off, bleeding that does not stop after an extraction, a locked jaw, a broken denture you rely on, or an injury to the mouth. If a swelling affects breathing or swallowing, spreads towards the eye, or comes with a high fever, go to a hospital emergency department first.
- Take the medication exactly as prescribed and finish any course of antibiotics.
- Soft food, a cold compress for swelling, and no smoking while the area heals.
- Keep the follow-up appointment for the definitive treatment even if the pain has gone.
- Return or call if swelling, fever or bleeding gets worse rather than better.

FAQ
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about this treatment.
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or saline, then place it back in the socket if you can and bite gently on a cloth. If not, keep it in milk (or, for an older child or adult, inside the cheek) and come in immediately. The sooner it is back in the socket the better, ideally within 30 minutes. Do not put a baby tooth back in.
We accommodate dental emergencies during opening hours and prioritise patients in pain. Call or WhatsApp before coming so we can prepare for your arrival and advise you on the way.
Contact us the same day. An abscess is an infection that needs drainage and treatment of the tooth (root canal treatment or extraction). Antibiotics alone do not cure it. If the swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, spreads towards the eye, or comes with a high fever, go to a hospital emergency department.
Keep the crown, avoid chewing on that side, and keep the tooth clean. Cover a sharp edge with sugar-free gum or dental wax if needed. See us within a few days: a crown can often be re-cemented if the tooth underneath is sound.
Pain that starts two to four days after an extraction when the blood clot in the socket is lost, exposing bone. It is more common after lower wisdom tooth removal and in smokers. It is treated with cleaning and a medicated dressing, which usually relieves the pain within hours.
A locked jaw is usually a jaw joint (TMJ) problem or a muscle spasm. We assess the joint, relieve the spasm, and may gently guide the jaw back if the joint has slipped, followed by a splint or muscle relaxants if needed. A dislocated jaw that cannot be reduced is referred to hospital.
Bite firmly on a folded gauze or clean cloth for 30 minutes without checking, keep your head raised and do not rinse or spit. Slight oozing for a day is normal. If bleeding continues beyond a few hours, or you take blood thinners, call us for same-day advice.
