    • Gentle pain relief to help you feel more comfortable during and after your visit.
    • Temporary or interim treatment to protect a tooth or soft tissues and reduce sensitivity.
    • Clear advice on caring for the area at home so you know what to do and what to avoid.

    Practical Steps Before You Are Seen

    While you wait to be assessed, the following general tips may help if they are safe for you. These do not replace a dental examination, and suitability depends on your health and any medicines you take:

    If you are unsure what to do, please call. Our reception team can guide you on the safest next step until you are able to attend.

    • Take over the counter pain relief as directed by the packet or your pharmacist. Do not place aspirin on the gum or tooth.
    • Use a cool compress on the cheek for short periods to ease soreness.
    • If a filling or crown has come loose, keep the area clean. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help in some cases. Use only as directed and do not force anything into place.
    • Rinse gently with warm salt water to help keep the mouth clean. Avoid very hot or very cold drinks if they worsen sensitivity.
    • If a tooth has been completely knocked out, avoid touching the root. Keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek urgent dental assessment.

    Your Safety And Suitability

    Every person’s situation is unique. Suitability for any treatment is decided after a clinical assessment that considers your symptoms, medical history and current oral health. Care is provided by qualified dental professionals who plan treatment ethically and in line with accepted guidance. We do not offer one size fits all solutions. Recommendations are tailored to you and to what is appropriate on the day.
