When A Dental Problem May Need Urgent Attention
Some dental issues need quick attention, especially if you are in strong pain, your bite or speech is affected, or there is a chance the problem could worsen. Please get in touch as soon as you can if you notice any of the following:
- Sudden, severe or throbbing toothache that does not ease with over-the-counter pain relief
- A cracked, chipped or broken tooth after a fall or impact
- A knocked-out tooth
- A loose or broken veneer, bridge or crown that is causing pain or sensitivity
- Lost fillings or sharp edges irritating your tongue or cheeks
- A swollen face or gums, particularly with fever or a bad taste
- Bleeding from the mouth that is persistent or difficult to control
- Soft-tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks or tongue
If you have heavy bleeding that will not stop, swelling affecting your breathing or vision, or a significant facial injury, please go straight to A&E or call 999. For other urgent dental concerns, our clinicians can assess your needs and provide appropriate care.

What Our Emergency Appointment Is Designed To Do
At your emergency visit, our first aim is to ease pain, reduce the risk of the problem spreading and stabilise the area. After a careful assessment, we may:
Examine the area and take X-rays if needed, so we can see what is happening beneath the surface and plan care safely
Provide local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable during any immediate treatment
Smooth sharp edges, place a temporary restoration or re-secure a loose restoration where suitable
Clean and dress an affected area to protect it while it settles
Issue a prescription, such as antibiotics, if clinically indicated
Offer clear guidance on aftercare and, if required, outline next steps for definitive treatment at a subsequent visit
Your suitability for any procedure will always depend on your individual assessment, medical history and the clinical findings on the day. We will explain what we can do for you clearly and calmly.
Support For Cycling And Sport-Related Dental Injuries
Being close to an active sporting venue, we often see emergencies linked to impacts on the face or jaw. If you have had an incident on or around the track, try to stay calm and contact us promptly. Where it is safe to do so:
- Rinse your mouth gently with lukewarm water to clear debris.
- If a tooth has been knocked out, avoid touching the root. If it is clean, you can try to place it back in the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or your own saliva. Do not store it in water.
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek to help reduce swelling.
- Avoid aspirin directly on the gum. It can irritate soft tissues.
Every injury is different, so please call for tailored advice before your appointment. We will assess the extent of the trauma and advise what can be done straight away to protect the area and relieve pain, and what may be needed afterwards based on your clinical needs.
