When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Please get in touch promptly if you have:
Severe or persistent toothache
Facial swelling or a dental abscess
A broken, cracked or chipped tooth
A knocked-out tooth
A lost filling, crown or veneer
Bleeding that will not stop after a dental procedure
Trauma to the teeth or mouth
A sharp edge that is cutting the tongue or cheek
If you have significant facial swelling affecting your vision, breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious injury to the head, face or neck, call 999 or go straight to A&E.


What To Do Before You Are Seen
Contact our Ilkley reception team as soon as you can, or send an enquiry through our website. We will advise you on the next safe steps and try to arrange an urgent appointment.
For pain, you can take over the counter pain relief that you know you can safely use, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. Never exceed the stated dose. Do not place aspirin on the gum.
Rinse gently with warm salty water to help keep the area clean.
Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek for swelling, 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off.
If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown, not the root. If needed, gently rinse off any dirt without scrubbing. If you can, place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If this is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek urgent dental care.
If a crown comes off, keep it safe. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help with short term comfort. Please avoid superglue.
Out Of Hours Advice
If you need urgent dental guidance outside our usual opening times, call our practice number and follow the recorded instructions. You can also contact NHS 111 for urgent dental support. For severe swelling affecting breathing, heavy bleeding, or major facial trauma, call 999 or go to A&E.

How We Help Different Emergency Situations
Every situation is different. The right approach depends on what we find during your assessment. Here are common ways we can help.
Toothache and sensitivity. After diagnosis, we may place a protective dressing, use desensitising treatments, or start the process for a filling or root canal if required. The immediate aim is to reduce symptoms and protect your tooth.
Broken or chipped tooth. We smooth sharp edges to protect the tongue and cheeks. A temporary restoration may be placed. We will advise on a lasting repair such as bonding or a crown where suitable.
Lost crown, bridge or veneer. If the fit and condition allow, we can often re-cement it. If not, we will suggest a safe temporary option and plan for replacement.
Dental abscess or swelling. Where possible, we relieve pressure to help with comfort. Antibiotics are only used when clinically necessary. We then outline the next steps to address the cause.
Knocked-out tooth. Speed matters. We assess the tooth and surrounding area and advise on the best course of action. Keeping the tooth moist before you arrive improves the chance of saving it.

Looking After Your Oral Health Beyond The Emergency
Sorting the immediate issue is the first step. We also look ahead. We can discuss tailored hygiene advice, review appointments and any care that may reduce the risk of future problems. Our aim is to restore comfort now and support confidence in your smile over time.

Fees And Payment
We will always explain likely costs before any treatment begins. An emergency visit typically covers your assessment and immediate relief of symptoms. If further care is needed, you will receive a clear estimate and an outline of timings so you can plan with confidence. For current fees, please contact our reception team.
