When To Get In Touch Without Delay
Some problems need quick assessment. Please contact us as soon as you can if you have any of the following:
Severe toothache or persistent pain that is disrupting sleep or daily activities
Facial swelling, a dental abscess or hot, throbbing discomfort
Broken, cracked or chipped teeth, especially if there is pain or sharp edges
A tooth that has been knocked out or pushed out of position
Lost fillings, crowns or veneers that are causing pain or sensitivity
Bleeding after a dental procedure that is not settling
Trauma to the teeth, lips or gums
If you have heavy, uncontrolled bleeding, significant facial swelling that affects breathing or vision, or a serious injury to your face or jaw, call 999 or go to A&E immediately.
What You Can Do Right Now
A few simple steps can help protect your mouth until you are seen. If you are unsure, call us for guidance.
Severe Toothache Or Possible Abscess
Take over the counter pain relief, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you. Avoid aspirin if you are bleeding. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek in short intervals. Do not use heat on the area.
Broken Or Chipped Tooth
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Keep any fragments. If there are sharp edges, cover them with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum to protect your tongue and cheeks.
Swelling
Same-day dental assessment is important. Do not attempt to drain the swelling. If the swelling is spreading or you feel unwell, for example fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek emergency medical help immediately.
Knocked Out Adult Tooth
Handle the tooth by the crown only, never the root. If the tooth is clean, try to place it back in the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If you cannot, store it in milk or your own saliva and contact us urgently.
Lost Filling Or Crown
Temporary filling material from a pharmacy can help protect the tooth until you are seen. Avoid very hot, cold or sweet foods on that side.
Soft Tissue Injury
Apply firm pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for 10 to 15 minutes. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent help.
We understand this can feel stressful. A short call with our team can make the next steps clear.
Who We Care For
You do not need to be a registered patient to receive emergency dental care at Regent Dental. We support adults and children with urgent dental problems, whether you usually visit us or not.
Many of our patients come from Rawdon Billing and the surrounding parts of Rawdon. There are easy links from nearby areas such as Yeadon, Guiseley and Horsforth. We also regularly hear from people working locally around Yeadon and Leeds Bradford Airport who need quick advice and a calm place to be seen.
What Happens At Your Emergency Appointment
Our first aim is to get you comfortable. Then we agree a clear plan. When you contact us, our friendly team will triage your call and offer advice to help you manage symptoms safely. At your appointment you can expect:
A focused examination and any necessary X-rays to understand the cause
Gentle pain relief and first aid treatment to stabilise the problem
Same-day measures where possible, for example smoothing sharp edges, placing a protective dressing, re-cementing a crown when appropriate, draining an abscess or placing a temporary restoration
Prescriptions when clinically indicated
Clear guidance on next steps, likely options and a plan for definitive treatment
You will have time to ask questions. We will make sure you leave knowing what we recommend and why.
Transparent And Professional Care
We believe in precise, patient-focused dentistry with straightforward communication. We explain what we find, what it means for you and the choices available.
Fees are always discussed before treatment begins
We agree each step with you so you can decide with confidence
Where contemporary techniques or imaging will help, we explain the benefit in simple terms, such as improved accuracy or greater comfort during your visit
Where imaging or digital assessment is clinically helpful, our dental technology supports clearer diagnosis, accurate planning and a more comfortable visit.
We also provide clear fees before treatment begins, so you understand your options before making a decision.
Antibiotics, When They Are Needed
Not every dental emergency requires antibiotics. They are prescribed only if there is a clinical indication, for example a spreading infection. Many urgent issues, such as an abscess or toothache from deep decay, are best managed with a procedure like drainage, a protective dressing or opening the tooth to relieve pressure.
We will assess your symptoms carefully and recommend the most appropriate approach for you. If antibiotics are advised, we will explain the reason and how to take them safely.
If You Feel Nervous
Please tell us if you are anxious. We will take time to explain each step and work at a pace that keeps you comfortable.
We pause often to check how you are feeling
Local anaesthetic is used carefully for comfort
We offer clear guidance to help you feel at ease during treatment and afterwards
Many people feel more relaxed once they know what is happening and why. We will support you throughout.
Are Chipped Teeth Always Urgent?
A chip can seem minor, but even small breaks may hide cracks or expose dentine. This can lead to sensitivity or further damage. If there is pain, sharp edges or you are concerned, contact us for advice.
We can smooth rough areas, place a temporary repair, or plan a longer-term solution that protects your tooth and restores appearance. It is better to check early than wait and worry.
Aftercare And Prevention
Following your emergency visit, we will arrange any follow-up you need and share practical tips to reduce the risk of problems recurring. This may include:
Tailored advice on oral hygiene and diet
A mouthguard for sport if you play contact games
A night guard if you grind your teeth
Where appropriate, we will plan definitive care, for example a permanent filling, root canal treatment or a new crown. Our focus is always on your long-term oral health.
If a damaged tooth needs rebuilding after the emergency has settled, our restorative dentistry options can help protect function, comfort and appearance.
