If you are unsure whether to seek urgent help, the problems below usually need prompt dental assessment. Suitability for any treatment will always depend on examination and individual circumstances.

In an emergency it can be hard to take everything in. We will explain your diagnosis, what any immediate treatment is designed to achieve, and any relevant risks or alternatives.

Emergency dentistry is centred on thoughtful assessment, relief of pain and stabilising the situation. At your visit, one of our fully qualified dentists will:
Depending on what we find, treatment may include steps to ease discomfort and protect the tooth or gums. This might involve smoothing sharp edges, placing a protective dressing, providing a temporary restoration, or starting definitive care where appropriate and agreed. If a localised abscess is identified, medication such as antibiotics may be recommended when clinically indicated. Where further care is advisable, we will explain your choices and likely next steps so you can make an informed decision that feels right for you.
A few simple measures can help protect the area and keep you more comfortable while you arrange to be seen. Always follow the guidance on any medicine packaging and consider your medical history and allergies.
Pain and swelling: You may take over the counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you. Do not exceed the stated dose. Do not place aspirin on the gum. A cool compress on the outside of the face may help with swelling.
Knocked out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If it is visibly dirty, gently rinse with cold water. Do not scrub. If you can, place the tooth back into the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If this is not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or your own saliva and seek urgent dental care. Baby teeth should not be reimplanted.
Broken or chipped tooth: Save any fragments. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. If there is a sharp edge, you may gently cover it with sugar free chewing gum or dental wax to protect your cheek or tongue.
Lost filling or temporary cover: Keep the area as clean as you can and avoid very hot, cold or sweet foods on that side. Temporary dental repair kits may offer short term cover. They are not a substitute for professional care.
Bleeding: Apply gentle, steady pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for up to 10 minutes. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent help.
These tips are only short term. We will guide you on the next steps once we have examined the area.
