How we picked emergency dentists in Sydney

Practices are ordered by the emergency or same-day appointments they state, then by late and weekend hours they list. Scores weigh more heavily when many patients have reviewed the practice. Each practice's own pages were read for what they say about emergency care and what it treats, and anything a practice does not publish is said as such. Where a practice is based outside the city centre, its page says so.
