How Our Emergency Dental Care Works
Emergency dentistry focuses on easing pain, stabilising the situation and protecting your oral health. At Dentist By The Green, your care is tailored after a clinical assessment and is designed to support you in the moment while planning any next steps you may need.
- When you call: Our reception team will ask a few questions so we can understand your symptoms and help us prioritise appointments. Where suitable, we will aim to offer a same day assessment, subject to availability.
- A calm, thorough assessment: At your appointment, your clinician will examine the area of concern. Where appropriate, we may suggest simple diagnostic tests to clarify what is happening, so we can plan care that is safe and focused on your comfort.
- Immediate care: We work to manage pain, reduce the risk of problems spreading and stabilise the tooth or soft tissues. This may include temporary measures to protect the area while longer term options are discussed, depending on your needs.
- Clear advice: You will receive personalised guidance on caring for the area at home and any follow up that may be advisable after your emergency visit. Suitability for further treatment always depends on individual clinical assessment.
Practical Steps You Can Take Before You Arrive
While you are arranging your emergency appointment, these general tips may help. They are not a substitute for professional care and should only be followed if safe for you:
- Pain relief: Over the counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may help if you can take them safely. Avoid aspirin if you are bleeding, as it may increase bleeding. Always follow the instructions on the packet and seek medical advice if you are unsure.
- Swelling: A cold compress on the outside of your cheek for short intervals may help reduce swelling. Do not apply heat.
- Bleeding: For soft tissue bleeding, place clean gauze or a damp, clean cloth over the area and apply gentle, steady pressure for up to 10 minutes. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent medical help.
- Lost filling or sharp edge: Dental wax from many pharmacies can sometimes be used to cover a sharp area until you are seen.
- Knocked out tooth, adult tooth only: Avoid touching the root. If the tooth is visibly clean, you may try to gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If this is not possible, store it in milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment. Do not scrub the tooth.
- Rinsing: A lukewarm saltwater rinse may help keep the area clean. Do not rinse repeatedly if you are trying to control bleeding.
If you are unsure about any of these steps, we are happy to offer guidance over the phone.
