What To Do Straight Away
Simple steps can protect a tooth and ease discomfort before you arrive.
Knocked Out Adult Tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part.
Do not scrub the root.
If it is clean, gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean tissue.
If you cannot reinsert it, keep it in milk or in your saliva and come straight to us.
Broken Tooth Or Lost Filling
Keep any pieces safe.
Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water.
Avoid chewing on that side.
Braces Or Sharp Edges
Cover sharp parts with orthodontic wax or sugar-free chewing gum until we can see you.
If you are unsure what to do, call us. We will talk you through the next steps.
Bleeding After Extraction
Fold clean gauze or a cotton handkerchief.
Place it over the socket.
Bite firmly for 20 to 30 minutes without checking.
Swelling Or Pain
Use over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you.
Follow the instructions on the packet.
Do not place aspirin on the gum.
How Your Emergency Visit Works
Your comfort and safety come first. When you call, our team will triage your symptoms and offer clear guidance. When you arrive, we examine the area to understand the cause of the problem. Where helpful, we take an x ray to plan treatment with accuracy. We use local anaesthetic when needed to keep you comfortable.
We explain what we find in plain English. You will know your options before anything goes ahead. Our first goal is to ease pain, calm any infection and make the situation safe. If we can complete treatment on the day, we will explain this. If it is better to make the tooth safe and return for a follow-up visit, we will plan that with you and advise on care at home.
Where clinically needed, our dental technology supports accurate diagnosis, clearer planning and a more comfortable emergency appointment.
Treatments We May Provide Urgently
Care during an emergency appointment may include:
Smoothing sharp edges to protect your cheeks and tongue
Placing a temporary filling or dressing to seal and protect the tooth
Re-cementing a loose crown if appropriate
Draining an abscess and, if indicated, prescribing antibiotics
Starting root canal therapy or extracting a tooth if necessary to resolve severe pain or infection
Planning follow-up care to fully restore function and comfort
Antibiotics are not always required. They are considered when there are signs of spreading infection or systemic involvement. Most dental pain is best treated by addressing the source. This may include removing decay, drainage or root canal therapy. We will guide you on the best route for your situation.
Supportive, Calm Care From First Call To Follow-Up
Dental emergencies can be stressful. We aim for clear information, a calm environment and steady, gentle care. You can ask questions at any point. New patients are welcome, and we can see unregistered patients for emergencies. Our approach is organised around your comfort, precise diagnosis and long-term oral health.
You will be looked after by a friendly team that takes time to explain your options and help you feel reassured throughout your visit.
Visiting Us From Earby Waterfalls And Nearby
Many people travel to us from across this part of the Pennines, including Earby Waterfalls, Earby, Thornton-in-Craven and Barnoldswick. Earby Waterfalls sits by Wentcliff Brook in the Pendle area, close to the border with Craven, and our Ilkley practice provides a convenient base for timely, professional care. Whether you are dealing with a sudden toothache after a walk near the falls or a chipped tooth from sport, we will do everything we can to see you as quickly as possible and get you comfortable again.
Same Day Availability, Treatment Aims And Fees
We aim to offer a same-day emergency appointment, subject to availability. Please call as early as you can so we can triage and allocate time appropriately. The purpose of an emergency visit is to relieve pain and make the situation safe. In many cases we can complete treatment on the day. In other cases we provide immediate relief, protect the tooth, and then schedule the next stage for a lasting result.
Costs depend on the treatment required. We will explain fees before we proceed and provide a clear plan for any follow-up appointments so you know what to expect. If you are unsure whether your symptoms count as a dental emergency, call us and we will advise you.
Clear Guidance For Common Situations
Pain And Swelling
• Keep your head elevated when resting.
• Use a cold compress on the outside of your face for short periods.
• Avoid heat on the area.
Lost Crown Or Veneer
Keep the crown safe.
Do not use glue.
Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can sometimes help for a short period, but only if it seats fully and comfortably.
If in doubt, leave it off and bring it with you.
Children’s Dental Injuries
For a knocked out baby tooth, do not put it back in the socket.
Come in for assessment and advice.
For an adult tooth in an older child, follow the knocked out tooth steps above.
