When To Contact Us Today
If something feels wrong, a quick call can help you decide what to do next. Please get in touch promptly if you have any of the following:
Severe toothache or sensitivity that’s keeping you awake
Broken, chipped or knocked-out tooth
Lost crown, bridge or filling causing discomfort
Swelling, abscess or a gum flare-up
Dental trauma from an accident or sports injury
Bleeding after a dental appointment that isn’t settling
If you are unsure whether it needs urgent care, call the practice and we will advise you. The earlier you contact us, the sooner we can help you feel more comfortable.
What You Can Do Right Now
A few simple steps can protect your teeth and ease discomfort before your appointment.
Toothache or swelling: Rinse gently with warm salty water. Over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can help. Follow the packet instructions and speak to a pharmacist if you’re unsure. Avoid aspirin if you’re bleeding. Try to keep the area clean with careful brushing.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold it by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, give it a gentle rinse with milk or saline. If you can, place it back into the socket and bite softly on a clean cloth. If you cannot re-insert it, keep the tooth in milk or saliva and seek urgent care. Timing matters, so please call straight away.
Broken tooth or sharp edge: Cover any sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum to protect your cheek or tongue. Avoid biting on hard foods until you are seen.
Lost filling or crown: You can use temporary dental cement from a pharmacy as a short-term fix. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods on that side and chew on the opposite side where you can.
Abscess: Do not apply heat to the face. Warm saltwater rinses may ease discomfort until you’re seen. If you have swelling that is worsening, or you feel unwell, call for advice immediately.
For life-threatening symptoms such as facial swelling affecting your breathing or vision, uncontrolled bleeding, trauma to the face or jaw, or feeling very unwell with fever, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent dental advice out of hours, call NHS 111.
Your Emergency Visit, Step By Step
We focus on calm, precise care, with a clear plan you can trust.
Calm, focused assessment: You will be welcomed by our team and seen by a dentist who will listen to what has happened. We will examine the area and, if needed, take X-rays so we can identify the cause with accuracy. This helps us plan the most effective and comfortable treatment.
Pain relief first: Making you comfortable is our priority. Where appropriate, we will use local anaesthetic and stabilise the tooth or soft tissues to settle the immediate problem.
Same-day solutions where possible: Once we have identified the cause, we aim to carry out a stabilising treatment on the day. This may include smoothing sharp edges, placing a temporary or definitive filling, re-cementing a crown, easing pressure from a build-up, or prescribing antibiotics when clinically indicated.
Clear next steps: We will explain your options in plain English, outline the benefits and any risks, and provide a transparent estimate before we proceed with further care. You will leave knowing what has been done and what will follow.
