If you’re in Cranebrook with a broken tooth, a throbbing toothache or a child who has just taken a knock to the mouth, ring us on (02) 4744 3754 as early in the day as you can. We keep time aside every day for urgent appointments, and the sooner you call, the more options we usually have. Those times don’t always show online, so please phone.
We’re Omega Dental & Cosmetics, a general dental practice in Jordan Springs Shopping Centre, right next door to Cranebrook. We’re open Monday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm, including full Saturdays.
Many urgent calls from Cranebrook families involve kids: a fall at the park, a scooter tumble or a ball to the face. Here’s what to do in the meantime.
Check for bleeding, loose or pushed-in teeth and cuts to the lip or gum. Press a clean, damp cloth on any bleeding and call us. Baby teeth that are knocked out are generally not put back in, but your child should still be checked, as an injury can affect the adult tooth developing underneath. You can read more on our children’s dentistry page.
Pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it briefly in milk, but don’t scrub the root. If you can, push it gently back into the socket and bite on a cloth. If that isn’t possible, keep it in milk or in the person’s saliva and get seen as soon as possible. Time matters with a knocked-out tooth, so ring us straight away.
Rinse with warm water and keep any pieces you find. A cold compress on the cheek can help with swelling. Even a small chip is worth getting looked at, as sharp edges can cut the tongue and a crack can go deeper than it looks.
Take pain relief as directed on the packet and don’t hold aspirin against the gum. Swelling in the gum or face often means infection, so call us early. If the swelling is spreading towards the eye or under the jaw, or it’s affecting breathing or swallowing, go to a hospital emergency department.
Keep a crown that has come off and bring it with you. Wisdom teeth can flare up with pain, swelling around the gum and trouble opening your mouth. Rinsing with warm salty water may ease things until we can see you.
Cranebrook is our next-door neighbour, sitting to the west of Jordan Springs. If you usually shop at Cranebrook Village, we’re in the neighbouring suburb, inside Jordan Springs Shopping Centre on Water Gum Drive. The centre has undercover and open-air parking with no time limit, so you’re not watching the clock while you’re with us. There’s accessible parking and level access, handy with a pram. Our Cranebrook page has more on getting here.
We’re closed on Sundays and in the evenings, so we can’t offer after-hours dental care. If something happens outside our hours:
For anything else, ring us when we open at 8am and we’ll find you a time.

No. Call us on (02) 4744 3754 and tell us what’s happened. We’ll ask a few questions so we can work out how soon you need to be seen.
Happy gas is usually available on the day. Oral sedation and IV sedation with our visiting sedationist need to be arranged ahead of time. See our sedation dentistry page for more.
