When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Please get in touch promptly if any of the below apply. Early advice often prevents problems from escalating and can make care more straightforward.
Severe or persistent toothache that does not settle with pain relief
Facial swelling, a gum abscess or signs of infection such as heat, throbbing or a bad taste
A broken, cracked or chipped tooth that is painful or has sharp edges
A lost filling, crown or veneer, particularly if the tooth is sensitive
Trauma to the teeth or mouth, including a knocked out or displaced tooth
Bleeding after dental treatment that does not stop with firm pressure
Cuts or soft tissue injuries involving the lips, cheeks or tongue
If you notice significant facial swelling affecting your eye or throat, difficulty breathing or swallowing, fever and feeling unwell, or bleeding that will not stop, seek urgent medical help via 999 or NHS 111.
Immediate Self Care Before You Are Seen
Toothache Or Swelling: Take over the counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you, following the instructions on the packet. Do not place aspirin on the gum. A cold compress on the cheek can help reduce swelling.
Lost Filling Or Crown: Keep the area as clean as you can. A temporary dental repair kit from a pharmacy can offer short term protection. Avoid very hot, cold or sweet foods on that side.
Broken Tooth: If there are sharp edges, cover them with dental wax from a pharmacy. Try not to bite on the affected area until you have been assessed.
Knocked Out Adult Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If clean, gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot replant it, store it in milk or in your cheek and contact us immediately. Do not scrub the root. This advice applies to adult teeth only.
Soft Tissue Injury: Rinse gently with lukewarm salty water. Apply pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to help stop minor bleeding.
What To Expect At Your Emergency Visit
Triage And Guidance: When you call, we will ask a few focused questions to understand your symptoms and provide immediate advice. We will offer the earliest suitable appointment.
Examination And Diagnostics: At the practice we will assess the area carefully, carry out any required X rays and explain what we can see in plain English. Your comfort is our priority throughout.
Relief And Stabilisation: Treatment at this stage aims to make you comfortable and protect the tooth or soft tissues. This may include a protective dressing, smoothing a sharp edge, re cementing a crown, drainage of an abscess, or starting root canal treatment if indicated.
Clear Plan For Next Steps: Once the emergency is controlled, we will outline your options, timings and fees, so you can choose how to proceed. Follow up care is planned around your needs.
Support For Children And Anxious Patients
We can see children privately for urgent issues and provide kind, straightforward care. If your child is in pain, call us for tailored advice and a prompt appointment.
If you feel nervous about dental treatment, let our reception team know. We will take time to explain each step. We use local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable and work at a pace that suits you. You will not be rushed and you will always know what is happening next.
Antibiotics And Urgent Symptoms
Antibiotics are prescribed only when clinically appropriate, for example where there are signs of spreading infection or systemic symptoms. Many dental infections improve most effectively when the source of the problem is treated, such as cleaning an abscess or beginning root canal therapy. We will advise you on the right approach for your situation and explain why.
If you are in severe pain outside normal hours, follow the self care advice above and contact us to arrange the earliest appointment. For red flag symptoms such as difficulty breathing, severe facial swelling, high fever or uncontrolled bleeding, seek urgent medical help via 999 or NHS 111.
