When To Get In Touch
Please contact a dentist urgently if you notice any of the following:
Significant or worsening discomfort
Swelling in your gums, face or jaw
Signs of infection such as a bad taste or fever
An accident involving your teeth or mouth
Getting help early often means simpler treatment and a quicker return to comfort.
What Counts As A Dental Emergency
Toothache that is severe, ongoing or not helped by appropriate pain relief
Swelling in your gums, face or jaw, or infection signs such as a bad taste or fever
A cracked, broken or chipped tooth that is painful or has a sharp edge
An adult tooth that has been knocked out or loosened in an accident
A lost filling, crown or bridge, especially if the tooth feels sensitive or painful
Bleeding after dental treatment that does not stop
Injuries to the lips, cheeks or tongue
A broken denture or brace that causes rubbing, soreness or sharp edges
If you are unsure whether it is an emergency, call us and our team will guide you.
Immediate Self-Care Tips
Pain and Sensitivity: Take over-the-counter pain relief, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, provided it is suitable for you. Always follow the instructions on the packet and do not exceed the recommended dose. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods and drinks until the tooth has been assessed.
Swelling or Fever: Do not apply heat to the affected area. Use a cold compress on the outside of your face for short periods to help ease discomfort. If the swelling spreads towards your eye or neck, or affects your breathing or swallowing, call 999 or attend A&E immediately.
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, which is the white part, and avoid touching the root. If the tooth appears 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.
Broken Tooth or Lost Filling: Keep the area clean and avoid biting or chewing on the affected tooth. A temporary dental repair kit from a pharmacy may help protect the exposed area until you can be seen.
Lost Crown: Keep the crown in a safe place and do not use superglue or household adhesives. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may hold the crown in position for a short period, provided it fits fully and comfortably, until your appointment.
Bleeding: Place clean gauze or a folded cotton handkerchief over the area and apply steady pressure for up to 20 minutes without removing it to check. If heavy bleeding continues, attend A&E.
These steps can help for a short time. Please still arrange an appointment so we can treat the cause.

Care For Patients From Harrogate, Pannal And Beckwithshaw
Regent Dental regularly supports patients who live and work in and around the spa town of Harrogate, including the villages of Pannal and Beckwithshaw. You do not need to be a registered patient to access urgent care.
Our clinicians use modern techniques and digital diagnostics to support accurate assessment and a more comfortable experience. We focus on clarity, so you know what is happening, why it is needed, and how we will help you move towards long-term oral health.
Transparent Fees And Clear Choices
Before any treatment begins, we will outline likely costs and provide a written estimate where appropriate. If there is more than one way to manage your problem, we will explain the benefits, limitations and fees for each option. You can then choose the approach that suits you.
Good To Know Before You Call
You can book an emergency appointment even if you have never visited the practice.
We prioritise urgent cases and will offer the earliest suitable time. Please contact us as soon as you can.
Antibiotics have a role when there is a spreading infection, but they rarely cure toothache on their own. Dental treatment is usually required to remove decay, settle an abscess or repair a damaged tooth.
If you feel nervous, let us know. We will talk through each step, use effective local anaesthetic, and check your comfort throughout.
Sharing this information helps us help you sooner. Bring any relevant medical details and a list of medicines if you can.
