When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
If you are unsure whether your situation counts as a dental emergency, the following problems are common reasons to seek urgent help:
If you have significant facial swelling that is affecting your breathing, difficulty swallowing, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or you are feeling very unwell, call 999 or go to A&E immediately.
- Severe or persistent toothache that is not settling with over the counter pain relief
- Swelling in the mouth, gum or face
- A cracked, chipped or broken tooth, especially if it is sharp or painful
- A lost filling or broken crown leading to discomfort or sensitivity
- Trauma to the mouth from a fall, sports injury or accident
- A dental abscess, throbbing pain, swelling, bad taste or fever
- Bleeding after dental trauma that does not stop with pressure
If A Tooth Has Been Knocked Out
- Handle the tooth carefully, touching only the crown, the white part, not the root.
- If it is visibly dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline. Do not scrub or use soap.
- If you feel able, and it is an adult tooth, try to reinsert it into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot, store it in milk or in your cheek, only if safe for you, and contact a dentist promptly.
- Children’s baby teeth should not be reinserted.
What An Emergency Dentist Appointment Aims To Do
Our first priority is to reduce discomfort, find the likely cause and, where appropriate, stabilise the problem safely. Depending on what is needed after a careful assessment, an emergency visit may include:
Every situation is different. Your dentist will explain what is clinically appropriate for you on the day and outline the next steps at a pace that feels manageable.
- A focused examination of the area that is troubling you, with any relevant medical history reviewed
- X-rays where clinically appropriate, to give a clearer picture of what is happening
- Pain relief measures designed to help you feel more comfortable
- Temporary or definitive treatment to manage the issue, where suitable
- Clear advice on at home care and any follow up plan you may need

Practical Advice While You Arrange Your Appointment
- Pain relief. Consider taking over the counter painkillers you know you can safely take, following the instructions on the packet. If you are unsure what is appropriate for you, speak to a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
- Swelling. A cold compress held to the outside of your cheek may help reduce discomfort and puffiness. Do not apply heat to a swelling.
- Lost filling or sharp tooth. Try to keep the area clean. Temporary dental repair material from a pharmacy can sometimes offer short term cover for a cavity, but still arrange to see a dentist promptly.
- Bleeding after injury. Apply gentle but firm pressure with clean gauze or a cloth. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent medical help.
- Avoid aggravating the area. Chew on the other side, keep to soft foods and avoid very hot, cold or sugary items that can trigger sensitivity.
