Dental emergencies can arise any time.
DENTAL emergencies can occur at any time - and the Christmas-New year period is no exception.
So where can you turn if you urgently need a dentist?
The Australian Dental Association has compiled a list of private dental practices that can provide emergency dental care over the festive season.
Services will be limited to relief of pain or trauma and the provision of antibiotics where required.
Patients will be referred to a rostered emergency dentist by either web-based or telephone services.
Costs will apply for any treatment provided.
Arrangements vary from state to state:
- NSW/ACT - www.adansw.com.au
- Qld - www.adaq.com.au
- SA - (08) 7111-3676 (the emergency roster operates until January 14)
- Vic - See the National Health Services Directory (https://about.healthdirect.gov.au/nhsd) for available services
- WA - www.adawa.com.au
