A thorough clinical assessment to find the cause of your symptoms

Steps to ease pain and help reduce inflammation
Measures to shield exposed tooth surfaces and stabilise damaged areas
Advice on caring for the affected area at home and what to avoid

Our first priority is to make you comfortable and address the urgent concern. Any longer term treatment is discussed fully and only advised if it is suitable for you.

Once the urgent issue is addressed, we provide guidance on:
- How to keep the area clean without aggravating symptoms
- Sensible pain management options where appropriate
- Foods and activities to avoid while you heal
- Signs to look out for that mean you should contact us again
If additional treatment is advised, we will arrange a suitable time and make sure you understand what it involves, any alternatives and how it supports your comfort and everyday confidence.
