Emergency Dentistry For The Ilkley Grammar School Community
Same day advice and care for Ilkley Grammar School families from a trusted local team.
Fast, Calm Dental Help When The Unexpected Happens
Tooth pain during lessons. A broken filling before a meeting. A wire rubbing on the bus home. When something sudden happens, you want calm, practical help and a clear plan. Based in Ilkley, West Yorkshire, our team provides timely, professional care for urgent problems and welcomes students, staff and parents from Ilkley Grammar School. You will be listened to, examined carefully and guided through your options so you can feel reassured and in control.
What Is A Dental Emergency?
Some issues need prompt attention. Contact us for advice or an urgent appointment if you have:
Severe toothache that does not settle with pain relief
Facial swelling or a dental abscess
Knocked out, loose or broken teeth
Cracked teeth, lost fillings or lost crowns or veneers causing pain
Bleeding that continues after a dental procedure
Trauma to the mouth, lips, cheeks or gums
Orthodontic problems that are painful, including wires digging in or loose brackets
If there is heavy bleeding, facial swelling that affects breathing or vision, or trauma to the face or jaw, call 999 or go straight to A&E.
What To Do Straight Away
Call the practice as soon as you can. We offer same day appointments where capacity allows and will always advise you on the next safe step.
For pain relief, consider paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you. Follow the packet instructions and do not place aspirin on the gum.
Keep the area as clean as possible with gentle brushing and a warm saltwater rinse.
First Aid Tips You Can Use Now
Knocked Out Adult Tooth
• Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part you normally see.
• If dirty, gently rinse with water.
• Try to reinsert it into the socket and bite on a clean cloth to keep it in place.
• If you cannot reinsert it, store the tooth in milk or your own saliva and contact us immediately.
• Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
Broken Or Chipped Tooth
Save any fragments in milk.
To protect your mouth from sharp edges, place a little dental wax or sugar free chewing gum over the area.
Avoid biting on the damaged tooth until we have assessed it.
Braces Causing Trauma
If a wire is rubbing or digging in, place orthodontic wax or sugar free chewing gum over the sharp section.
If a bracket is loose, try to keep it in place and avoid hard or sticky foods.
Contact us so we can advise you and arrange care if required.
Lost Filling Or Crown
Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can help seal the tooth and reduce sensitivity until you are seen.
Keep the tooth clean and try to avoid very hot or very cold foods and drinks.
Swelling Or Abscess
Do not apply heat.
Use a cold compress on the outside of the face to ease discomfort.
Call us promptly for advice and assessment.
Your Urgent Visit At Regent Dental
Your comfort comes first. At your emergency appointment, we begin with a focused assessment to find the cause of the problem. Where helpful, digital X-rays are used to give a clear picture of what is happening under the surface. Our dental technology helps us work with precision and make a plan that suits your needs.

Pain relief and stabilising the situation are our immediate goals. Depending on what we find, we can:
Provide temporary dressings
Re cement loose crowns
Replace lost fillings
Smooth sharp edges
Carry out root canal therapy to relieve pain from a deep problem within the tooth
Remove a tooth if this is the safest option
Antibiotics are only used when clinically indicated, for example where there are signs a problem is spreading. Every treatment decision depends on individual assessment and we will explain what is appropriate for you.
Once the urgent issue is under control, we will discuss any follow up treatment that supports your long term oral health. You will leave the appointment knowing the next steps and the likely timescales, with written advice where needed.
New Patients And Access To Advice
You do not need to be registered with us to be seen for an emergency at Regent Dental. We will explain your options and fees before treatment begins so you can make an informed choice. You can also review our clear fees before your visit. If you require urgent dental guidance when our practice is closed and you cannot reach us, NHS 111 can advise on the most suitable next steps.

Preventing Future Emergencies
Not every accident can be avoided, but a few habits help. Regular dental check-ups allow us to spot small problems before they turn urgent. A custom mouthguard for contact sports can prevent many injuries. If you often have broken fillings or crowns, we can discuss restorative dentistry options, including materials and designs that better suit your bite and reduce future issues. Good daily dental hygiene, gentle brushing and cleaning between teeth all make flare ups less likely.
