What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Not every dental problem needs same-day care, but the following situations usually do:
- Severe toothache. Pain that is intense, constant, or keeps you up at night can point to an infection or nerve problem that needs prompt attention.
- Knocked-out tooth. If a tooth has been completely dislodged, getting seen quickly gives it the best chance of being saved.
- Cracked or broken tooth. A crack or fracture, especially one causing pain or sharp edges, should be checked before it worsens.
- Lost filling or crown. Once the tooth underneath is exposed, it becomes more sensitive and more vulnerable to further damage.
- Gum injury or bleeding. Cuts, tears, or bleeding that won’t stop with gentle pressure are worth having examined.
- Abscess or swelling. Swelling in the face, gum, or jaw, particularly with pain or a bad taste, can signal an infection that needs treatment.
Emergency Dental Services We Provide in Tung Chung
When you come in for an emergency, our first priority is getting you out of pain. Depending on what we find, treatment may include pain relief and management of infection (sometimes through root canal treatment), extraction of a tooth that can’t be saved, or a temporary restoration, such as a temporary filling or crown, to protect the tooth and keep you comfortable until a longer-term solution can be planned. Some dental emergencies involve more complex underlying issues, such as extensive decay, a fractured root, or a problem best handled by a specialist. In these cases, we’ll explain what we’ve found and refer you on to the right care.
Our aim on the day is always the same: settle the immediate problem safely, then work out what needs to happen next, if anything.
Opening Hours & Weekend Availability
Bayside Dental Tung Chung is open Monday to Friday from 09:30 to 18:30, Saturday from 09:30 to 13:30, and Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00. We’re closed on public holidays. Weekend availability matters because dental emergencies rarely wait for a convenient time. A toothache that starts on a Saturday morning, or a chipped tooth from a Sunday game, shouldn’t mean sitting with pain until Monday. If you need to be seen on a weekend, call us as early as you can so we have time to fit you in and prepare for your visit.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency (Before You Arrive)
A few simple steps before you get to us can make a real difference:
- Call or WhatsApp us first. Letting our team know you’re on your way, and roughly what’s happened, means we can prepare the room and be ready for you as soon as you arrive.
- Save a knocked-out tooth properly. Handle it by the crown (the visible chewing surface), not the root, and keep it moist in milk or in your own saliva until you reach us. Don’t scrub it or wrap it in a dry tissue.
- Use a cold compress for swelling. Holding a cold compress or ice pack, wrapped in a cloth, against the outside of the cheek can help ease swelling and discomfort on the way to the clinic.
- Leave a broken tooth fragment alone. Avoid poking, biting down on, or otherwise handling a cracked or broken piece unnecessarily; it can make the injury worse.
- Don’t treat painkillers as a substitute for treatment. Over-the-counter pain relief may ease discomfort temporarily, but it doesn’t address the underlying problem, so please still plan to see us as soon as you can.
Knocked-Out Tooth: What to Do First
Adult teeth and children’s baby teeth are handled differently. The key difference: put an adult tooth back in as soon as possible, but never put a baby tooth back.
Adult tooth: act within the first hour
If the mouth is bleeding, rinse with water, then hold a cold compress against the area.
Comfort the injured person and check for any other injuries that need attention right away.
If a tooth is chipped or knocked out, find the pieces or the whole tooth. If you can’t find it, a chest X-ray may be needed to make sure it wasn’t inhaled.
Touch only the chewing part (green circle), never the root (red circle); the cells on the root surface decide whether the tooth can be saved. If it’s dirty, rinse it gently in water or saline for a few seconds. Don’t scrub or wipe it.
Place the tooth back facing the right way and bite gently on clean gauze or cloth to hold it.
Keep the tooth in milk, or inside the injured person’s cheek to keep it moist. Don’t soak it in tap water or wrap it in tissue.
The sooner the better: aim to be seen within an hour, ideally within 30 minutes.
Baby tooth
Rinse with water, then use a cold compress.
Comfort your child and check for other injuries.
Find the pieces or the whole tooth. If you can’t find it, a chest X-ray may be needed.
Don’t put a baby tooth back in the socket.
Bring your child in as soon as possible so the dentist can check the adult tooth developing underneath.

How Your Emergency Visit Works
Our emergency process has four simple steps:
- Contact us. Phone +852 2185 6550 or message us on WhatsApp, and briefly describe what’s happened, such as which tooth, how much pain, and whether there’s swelling or bleeding. This gives our team a quick picture before you arrive.
- Get a same-day time. We’ll fit you into the schedule as soon as we can within opening hours and get the room and equipment ready in advance, so your wait once you arrive is as short as possible.
- Examination. The dentist will examine you, take an X-ray if needed, and explain what’s going on.
- Relief first, then a plan. We’ll ease the pain and discomfort first. If further treatment is needed, such as a root canal or extraction, we’ll explain the options and arrange that separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is an emergency dentist open on a Sunday?
Yes. Bayside Dental Tung Chung is open on Sundays from 09:00 to 13:00, and on Saturdays from 09:30 to 13:30. If you have a dental emergency over the weekend, call us as early as possible so we can fit you in.
How much is an emergency dentist appointment?
It depends on what treatment you actually need. A straightforward consultation costs less than an extraction or a temporary restoration, for example. Call us and we can talk through what you’re experiencing; the exact cost is always confirmed after we’ve examined you, before any treatment goes ahead.
How much are emergency dental visits?
Cost mainly comes down to complexity: whether you need pain relief and an exam, an extraction, or a temporary restoration to protect the tooth. There’s no single set fee for an emergency visit as such; it’s confirmed with you individually after consultation.
How do I get emergency dental care?
Call or WhatsApp us as soon as you notice a problem, and let us know what’s happened. We offer same-day appointments for urgent cases, and calling ahead means our team can prepare for your visit and see you as quickly as possible.
How do I get an emergency tooth extraction?
If a tooth can’t be saved, extraction is one of the treatments we may recommend after examining you. Call us to explain your symptoms, come in for an assessment, and if extraction is the right option, we’ll talk you through it before going ahead.
Are dentists open on Saturdays and Sundays?
Yes. Bayside Dental Tung Chung is open Saturday from 09:30 to 13:30 and Sunday from 09:00 to 13:00, in addition to weekday hours of 09:30 to 18:30 Monday to Friday. We’re closed on public holidays.
Do you offer same-day dental appointments?
Yes, for dental emergencies we do our best to offer same-day appointments. Calling ahead helps a great deal, since it gives our team time to prepare for your visit and fit you into the schedule as soon as possible.
Are you open 24 hours?
No, we’re not a 24-hour clinic. We’re open seven days a week: Monday to Friday 09:30–18:30, Saturday 09:30–13:30 and Sunday 09:00–13:00, closed on public holidays. Our after-hours contact number is +852 6071 4530. If you have facial or neck swelling that is spreading quickly or comes with a fever, difficulty breathing or swallowing, bleeding that won’t stop, or a head injury with dizziness, vomiting or confusion, go straight to a hospital Accident & Emergency department.
Besides private clinics, where else can I get emergency dental help in Hong Kong?
It depends on your situation. The Department of Health runs dental general public sessions at 11 government dental clinics, offering pain relief and tooth extraction only (no fillings or cleaning). Places are allocated by online ballot, with registration open from 6:00 to 11:30 am on the working day before. For rapidly spreading swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or heavy bleeding, go to a hospital Accident & Emergency department. If you’d like same-day care with full treatment such as fillings or root canal treatment, call us on +852 2185 6550.
