What Counts As A Dental Emergency
If you are unsure whether to call, it is usually best to get in touch. Please contact us promptly if you have any of the following:
Severe toothache or pain that keeps you awake
Facial swelling, a dental abscess or signs of a spreading problem such as a bad taste, fever or feeling unwell
A broken, chipped or fractured tooth
A knocked-out adult tooth
A lost filling, crown or veneer causing pain or sharp edges
Injury to the mouth, teeth or jaw
Bleeding that does not stop after dental treatment
A broken brace, loose wire or sharp orthodontic component irritating cheeks or gums
If you have heavy or uncontrolled bleeding, swelling affecting your breathing or vision, or a head or neck injury, call 999 or go straight to A&E. For urgent dental advice out of hours, call NHS 111.
First Steps You Can Take At Home
While you arrange your visit, simple steps can make things more manageable. These tips are not a substitute for treatment, but they can help protect your mouth and reduce discomfort.
Toothache
Rinse with warm salty water to help soothe the area.
Take suitable pain relief such as paracetamol and/or ibuprofen if you can take them. Follow the packet and do not exceed the stated dose.
Do not put aspirin on your gum as it can burn the tissues.
Broken Or Chipped Tooth
Keep any fragments in milk or saliva. Bring them with you to your appointment.
Avoid very hot, cold or sweet foods that may trigger sensitivity.
A temporary dental repair kit can help cover sharp edges until you are seen.
Bleeding After Extraction
Fold clean gauze or a tea bag and bite down with firm, steady pressure for 20 minutes.
If bleeding persists, contact us or NHS 111 for advice.
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth
Hold the tooth by the crown, which is the white part, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently.
Try to place it back into the socket once, then bite on a clean cloth to keep it in position.
If this is not possible, store the tooth in milk or saliva and seek urgent care.
Do not re-implant a baby tooth.
Lost Filling Or Crown
Keep the area clean with careful brushing.
Avoid sticky or hard foods until the tooth is assessed.
Temporary cement from a pharmacy may help, but please avoid strong household glues.
Brace Discomfort
Cover sharp wires or brackets with orthodontic wax or sugar-free gum.
Do not cut the wire yourself. Call for guidance and an appointment.
