Emergency dentist service

It’s hard to know what qualifies as a dental emergency, but if something’s gone wrong and you’re suffering from dental pain, it’s better to call us. Any of the following might mean you need a speedy solution:

  • Bleeding from the mouth
  • Toothache
  • Severe dental pain
  • Loose teeth
  • Broken tooth
  • Lost crown
  • Broken denture
  • Wisdom teeth pain
  • Swelling in the face or mouth
  • Bulges or swelling on your gums

Dental Emergencies can include a cracked, broken, or completely knocked out tooth, a lost filling, damaged dental restorations, or an abscess, which can form within a tooth or on the gum.

So, if you feel there’s something wrong, call us without delay. You might need immediate dental treatment from one of our skilled dentists to prevent the problem from worsening or prevent it from causing permanent damage.

Emergency dental care tips

You shouldn’t have to wait too long to see us, but if you do have a mouth-related mishap, you might want to follow these handy dental emergency tips to help relieve pain and prevent further damage:

Knocked out tooth

We will be much more likely to save the tooth if you see us quickly. Hold the tooth carefully and avoid touching the roots – these are very delicate. Rinse gently with water to remove excess skin.

If you can, try to put the tooth back and ensure it is the right way around. If you can’t, don’t force it in, as this could damage the tooth and the gum. Place it in some milk or water containing a pinch of salt.

Chipped tooth

First, rinse your mouth with warm water. If you have any pieces, keep them. A cold compress will help reduce any swelling and you can stop any bleeding with a piece of gauze pressed on the wound.

Lost filling or crown

Keep the restoration if you still have it. If intact, you can use sugar-free gum to stick it in place. You can also use over-the-counter dental cement (if you have access to it).

Abscess

If you suspect you are suffering from an abscess, rinse your mouth with warm, salty water and take over-the-counter painkillers. If you develop a high temperature, severe pain, or difficulty breathing, you may have to go to A&E.
