When To Treat It As An Emergency
Please contact us as soon as you can if you notice any of the following:
Severe or persistent toothache
Facial swelling, a dental abscess, or heat or pain on biting
A knocked-out (avulsed) or loosened tooth
Broken, chipped, or fractured teeth
Lost fillings, crowns, bridges, or veneers that are painful or leave sharp edges
Soft-tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks, or gums
Bleeding that does not stop after dental treatment
If you have heavy bleeding, trauma to the face or jaw, difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapidly worsening swelling, or symptoms of a serious problem such as a high fever and feeling very unwell, call 999 or attend A&E immediately.
What To Do Straight Away
While you arrange your visit, a few simple steps can protect your mouth and ease discomfort.
Pain relief. Take suitable painkillers you would normally use for a headache, following the packet instructions. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum.
Keep it clean. Gently rinse with lukewarm water or saline to remove food debris.
Be cautious with temperature. Avoid very hot or very cold food and drink until you have been seen.
Protect sharp edges. If a tooth edge is catching on your cheek or tongue, you can cover it with orthodontic wax if available.
A little care now can make a big difference before you are seen.
Knocked-Out Adult Tooth (Avulsed): Act Fast
Time matters with a knocked-out adult tooth.
Handle the tooth by the crown, the white part. Avoid touching the root.
If there is visible dirt, give it a quick rinse under milk or saline for a few seconds only. Do not scrub and do not use soap.
If you can, place the tooth back into the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth to hold it in position.
If you cannot reinsert it, store the tooth in milk or in your cheek (not for children), and come to see us urgently.
The sooner you reach us, the better the chance of saving the tooth.
What To Expect At Your Emergency Appointment
Our priority is to relieve pain and stabilise the problem so you can get back to your day with confidence. Your appointment will focus on careful assessment, clear communication, and immediate support.
Examination and digital X-rays where appropriate. Digital imaging helps us see what is happening under the surface for accuracy and confident planning.
Local anaesthetic for rapid pain relief. We will keep you as comfortable as possible while we treat the problem.
Temporary repairs. We can place a dressing or a temporary restoration for broken teeth or lost fillings to protect the tooth and reduce sensitivity.
Securing loose work. Where suitable, we can re-cement or secure loose crowns or bridges.
Abscess care. If indicated, we may ease pressure and clean the affected area to help you feel more comfortable.
Root canal support. In cases of severe toothache linked to inflammation deep inside the tooth, we can start root canal treatment when clinically appropriate to settle symptoms.
Smoothing and protection. Sharp edges can be smoothed and exposed dentine protected to prevent further irritation.
Antibiotics. These are prescribed only when clinically appropriate, for example where there are signs the problem is spreading or affecting your general wellbeing.
You will receive a clear explanation of our findings and a straightforward outline of your options. We will agree the next steps together and arrange any follow-up care needed to complete definitive treatment once the emergency is controlled.

Reducing The Risk Of Future Emergencies
