If you need emergency dental care in Essendon, Niddrie Dental Clinic is here to help. Located just a short drive away, we provide prompt emergency dental treatment for patients across Essendon and surrounding north-west Melbourne suburbs.
Dental Emergencies We Can Help With

Some dental problems can’t wait for a routine appointment. If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, or a dental injury, seeking urgent treatment can help reduce discomfort and prevent more serious complications. We commonly treat:
- Severe toothaches
- Knocked-out tooth
- Chipped, cracked, or broken tooth
- Dental abscess or facial swelling
- Lost filling or crown
- Soft tissue injuries
If you’re unsure whether your situation is a dental emergency, contact our team. We’ll assess your symptoms and advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
Same-Day & Urgent Emergency Appointments
Experiencing a dental emergency? Our team offers same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, as well as after-hours, Sunday and public holiday appointments, subject to availability. We recommend calling as early as possible so we can arrange the earliest suitable appointment for your situation.
- Call (03) 9374 2244 as soon as possible to ask about a same-day appointment and current after-hours emergency dental availability.
- While waiting, use a cold compress, avoid hard foods, and keep the area clean to reduce discomfort.
- Ask about affordable payment options and plans before you book.
- If pain, swelling, or bleeding worsens, seek immediate care rather than waiting for a routine visit.
