Ease pain as soon as we can.

When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Please get in touch straight away if you have:
Severe toothache or pain that keeps you awake
Facial swelling or a dental abscess
A broken or chipped tooth
A knocked-out or loose adult tooth
A lost filling, crown or veneer causing sharp edges or sensitivity
Bleeding after an extraction or dental injury that won’t stop
Trauma to the teeth, lips or gums
If you have facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, heavy bleeding, high fever, or head/neck trauma, seek immediate help via A&E or call 999.
What To Do Right Now At Home
Small steps can help before you see us. Use the advice below and contact the practice for tailored guidance.
Severe toothache: Take over-the-counter pain relief (such as paracetamol or ibuprofen) as directed. Do not place aspirin on the gum. Keep the area clean and avoid very hot or cold foods.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root). If clean, try to gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If that isn’t possible, keep it in milk or your own saliva and come to us urgently. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
Broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth, keep any fragments, and use a cold compress for swelling.
Lost filling or crown: You can use temporary dental cement from a pharmacy to protect the tooth until you’re seen. Avoid sticky foods.
Abscess/swelling: Rinse gently with warm salty water. Do not apply heat to the face. Call us for urgent advice.
Bleeding: Bite firmly on clean gauze or a rolled-up handkerchief for 20–30 minutes without checking. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent medical help.
Your Emergency Visit - What Happens
A calm welcome and focused assessment: We start by listening to what has happened. We then examine the area. If X-rays are needed to confirm the cause, we take digital X-rays there and then. This supports accuracy and helps us choose the safest next step.
Relief and stabilisation: Our first priority is to ease pain and stop the problem from getting worse. This might involve smoothing a sharp edge, placing a soothing dressing, re-cementing a crown, or starting care to settle the area if there’s a flare-up.
Clear guidance on options: We explain what we find and what it means for your long-term oral health. We outline the choices, likely timeframes, and costs. You’ll have time to ask questions and agree a plan that feels right for you.
Sensible next steps: Some emergencies can be resolved fully during the appointment. Others may need a temporary measure and a follow-up visit once symptoms have improved. We will book that with you before you leave.
Out-of-hours Guidance
If you need urgent help outside our normal hours, please contact the practice and follow the recorded advice for next steps. For severe pain, facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding or trauma, you can also use NHS 111 for further direction or attend A&E if necessary. If in doubt, call - we would rather you ask.
