When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
If you are unsure whether your situation needs urgent attention, it is always sensible to call for advice. Contact us promptly if you experience any of the following:
Our priority is to relieve pain, understand the cause and recommend appropriate next steps. Suitability for any treatment will always be discussed after a clinical assessment with a fully qualified dentist.
- Severe or persistent toothache that does not improve with over-the-counter pain relief
- Broken, chipped or fractured teeth causing pain or sharp edges
- Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
- Dental trauma from a fall, sports injury or accident
- Swelling of the face, jaw or gums, with or without pain
- Signs that may suggest infection, such as a bad taste, fever or increasing discomfort
- A lost or broken restoration, such as a filling or crown, when this causes pain or makes eating difficult
- Ongoing bleeding from the mouth that is not settling
After Your Urgent Visit
Relieving pain and addressing immediate concerns is the first step. Depending on your assessment, we will advise on:
- How to care for the area in the short term
- Signs to watch for and when to contact us again
- Whether a review or further treatment is advisable to help prevent recurrence
Your suitability for any ongoing care will be confirmed at a follow-up visit if required. Where relevant, we will discuss options such as a temporary and then a bespoke crown or bridge, replacement fillings or care to support gum health. Everything will be linked to your goals and comfort.
What To Do While You Seek Help
These simple measures may help you stay more comfortable before your appointment:
If symptoms escalate, especially facial swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, fever or feeling unwell, seek urgent medical assistance immediately. Your safety comes first.
- Pain relief: Use over-the-counter pain relief you know is safe for you, following the instructions on the packet. If you have medical conditions, allergies or take regular medication, check suitability first.
- Rinsing: If your gums feel irritated, a warm saltwater rinse can be soothing. Do not apply aspirin directly to the tooth or gums.
- Swelling: A cold compress on the outside of the cheek may help reduce swelling. Do not apply heat to the area.
- Knocked-out adult tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, the white part, and avoid touching the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse with milk or saline. Keep it moist in milk or saliva. Do not scrub it. Seek urgent dental advice.
- Broken tooth or sharp edges: If you have the fragment, keep it safe and bring it with you. Try to avoid biting on the affected area.
- Eating and drinking: Choose softer foods and avoid very hot, cold or sugary items if they make things worse. Avoid smoking and alcohol, as these can aggravate discomfort.

- Relieve pain and protect the affected tooth or soft tissue
- Smooth sharp edges or place a temporary dressing
- Recement a loose restoration where suitable
- Manage symptoms related to infection and advise on ongoing care
- Provide guidance on eating, cleaning and monitoring after your visit
