What To Expect At Your Emergency Visit
Triage And Welcome: We will listen to your symptoms, note your medical history, and make sure you are seen in the right order.
Examination And Diagnosis: A careful assessment, supported by digital X rays when needed, helps us find the cause with more clarity and plan the best next step.
Immediate Measures For Comfort: We may use local anaesthetic, smooth sharp edges, place a temporary filling or dressing, gently release any local build up if appropriate, and provide medicines if they are suitable for you.
Clear Next Steps: We will explain your options in plain English, outline likely results, and agree any follow up care. Fees are discussed with you before we proceed.
Practical Self Care While You Arrange Your Appointment
The tips below may help while you are on your way to see us. Only follow advice that is suitable for you and your health.
Toothache or Swelling: Take suitable over-the-counter pain relief, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, provided it is safe for you. Always follow the instructions on the packet. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth or gum. Rinse your mouth gently with warm saltwater to help soothe the area.
Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the affected area clean with careful brushing. If a crown has come off, temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help hold it in place for a short time, provided it fits fully and comfortably. Do not use superglue or household adhesives. Avoid chewing on the affected side and stay away from very hot, cold or sugary foods and drinks.
Broken Tooth: Keep any broken fragments in a safe place and bring them with you to your appointment. Cover sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum to protect your cheeks and tongue until you can be seen.
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, which is the white part, and avoid touching the root. If the tooth is clean, gently place it back into the socket and bite down on a clean cloth to hold it in position. If you cannot reinsert it, keep the tooth in milk or your own saliva and seek urgent dental care. Do not attempt to reinsert a knocked-out baby tooth.
Bleeding After an Extraction or Injury: Sit upright and place clean rolled gauze or a clean cloth over the area. Apply firm, steady pressure for a full 20 minutes without removing it to check. Avoid rinsing your mouth for the first few hours, as this may disturb the blood clot.
