What You Can Do Right Now
A few calm steps at home can ease discomfort and protect the area until you are seen. Use this as a guide, then contact us for advice that’s right for you.
Toothache or severe sensitivity: Rinse your mouth gently with warm salty water. Take over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you. Always follow the packet directions. Do not place aspirin on the gum, as it can burn the tissue.
Swelling or a dental abscess: Do not apply heat. Use a cold compress on the outside of your face and get in touch promptly. Antibiotics are only helpful when the problem is spreading or you feel unwell generally. Most issues like this need care to the tooth itself for a full fix.
Broken tooth, chipped tooth, or lost filling or crown: Save any fragments. If a crown has come off, clean it and the tooth. A pharmacy temporary dental cement can help for a short-term fix. Avoid household glues. Eat soft foods and keep chewing away from the area.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root. If dirty, rinse very briefly in cold running water for up to 10 seconds. If you can, reinsert it gently into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If this is not possible, place it in milk or your own saliva, not water, and contact us immediately.
Bleeding that worries you: Apply steady pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for 20 minutes without peeking. If bleeding is heavy or does not stop, seek urgent medical help.
If you have severe facial swelling that affects your vision, breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a significant facial injury, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent dental advice outside usual hours, NHS 111 can help.
When To Treat It As A Dental Emergency
Please contact us as soon as you can if any of the following apply. Early assessment often reduces discomfort and helps avoid further problems.
Severe toothache or pain that is waking you at night
A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
A knocked-out, avulsed, or loosened adult tooth
Swelling of the gum or face, or a dental abscess
A lost or broken filling, crown or veneer that is painful or sharp

How Your Emergency Visit At Regent Dental Works
You will find the process clear and calm from the first call.
Triage and advice: When you contact us, we ask a few focused questions to understand urgency. We aim to offer a same-day appointment wherever possible and share short-term advice to keep you comfortable until you arrive.
Examination and diagnostics: Your clinician examines the area and takes digital X-rays if needed. Digital imaging supports accurate diagnosis and helps us plan clearly with you.
Immediate relief: The first goal is to reduce pain. This may include smoothing sharp edges, placing a temporary filling, easing pressure by draining a build-up, re-cementing a crown, adjusting the bite, or starting root canal treatment where appropriate. All care is provided using local anaesthetic for comfort.
Clear plan and follow up: Before any further treatment, we explain your options in plain language, including risks and benefits, and provide a written estimate. We then arrange follow up to complete care and look after your long-term oral health.
Professional Care You Can Trust In A Calm Setting
You will be seen by clinicians experienced in managing dental pain and trauma. We use modern materials and digital diagnostics for precision and comfort. We recommend only what is necessary for your situation.
If you feel nervous or have not visited a dentist for some time, please tell us. Extra time, gentle communication and local anaesthesia can make a real difference to how you feel during urgent care.
Who We See And Where Patients Visit From

We regularly see patients from the Pendle area, including Nelson, Barrowford, Foulridge, Trawden, Barnoldswick, Brierfield and Wycoller. You do not need to be a registered patient to book an emergency appointment.
Costs, Appointments And Practicalities
Urgent slots are kept where possible. Please contact us as early as you can and we will do our best to see you quickly. Costs vary depending on what is needed to relieve pain and stabilise the tooth. We will explain choices, agree a plan with you, and provide a clear estimate before moving ahead with any further treatment.
Antibiotics are not a cure for most dental problems. They are prescribed only when clinically indicated, for example where the problem is spreading or you feel unwell, and are usually combined with definitive dental treatment such as drainage, root canal therapy or extraction to address the cause.
Why Timely Care Matters
Pain that keeps returning, a sharp edge that is catching your tongue, or a crown that will not stay in place often signals an underlying problem. Early attention can prevent a cracked tooth from worsening, protect the nerve inside the tooth, and lower the chance of a flare-up. If a tooth has been knocked out, the sooner it is repositioned or stored correctly, the better the chance of saving it. Even if symptoms seem to ease, it is wise to get a professional opinion so you can plan for your long-term oral health with confidence.
Simple Guidance To Keep You Comfortable Before Your Visit
Keep the area clean by gently brushing around it. If brushing is uncomfortable, try a soft toothbrush and avoid direct pressure.
Warm salty mouthwashes can help with gum tenderness. Mix half a teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and swish gently.
Avoid very hot, very cold, or very sweet foods if these trigger sensitivity.
Stick to softer foods if biting is painful, and avoid chewing on the affected side.
For a mouth ulcer or soft tissue soreness, a pharmacy gel or mouthwash may help temporarily. Follow the product instructions and avoid irritants such as alcohol-based rinses if they sting.
If you are unsure about anything, call us. A quick chat can save you worry.
