What Counts As A Dental Emergency

Dental problems can change quickly. If you are unsure what to do, the following usually need a same day assessment:

If you have heavy bleeding that will not stop, severe facial swelling affecting breathing or vision, trauma to the head or neck, or you feel very unwell, call 999 or attend A&E immediately. Your safety matters most.

Severe or worsening toothache that is not easing with over the counter pain relief
Facial swelling, gum swelling or signs of a problem that seems to be spreading
Dental trauma such as a broken, cracked or knocked out tooth
Uncontrolled bleeding following an injury to the mouth
Sudden sensitivity that makes eating, drinking or sleeping difficult
Lost or dislodged restorations with pain or sharp edges that are catching the soft tissues
A suspected abscess, an unpleasant taste, or fever linked with dental pain

What To Expect After Your Emergency Visit

Every situation is different, but emergency care aims to:

Reduce pain and manage any swelling
Protect the tooth and surrounding tissues
Provide temporary or definitive stabilisation, as suitable
Set out a clear plan for ongoing care where further treatment is helpful

Some problems can be fully managed in one visit. Others are best cared for in stages once things have settled. Your clinician will explain what is most appropriate after a thorough assessment, so you can make choices in your own time.

Our aim is to make you more comfortable and, where possible, to address the cause. Sometimes the area needs time to settle before a definitive solution. In these cases, we will plan follow up care with you. All treatment is provided by fully qualified dental professionals using evidence based guidance, with choices tailored to your needs.

Listen to what has happened and review your medical history
Examine the area and, where helpful, take X rays to find the cause
Provide immediate care to relieve pain and stabilise things
Explain your next steps, which may include further treatment or a review appointment

Guidance For Common Urgent Situations

If you are unsure what to do, call us and we will guide you.

Severe toothache or swelling: Rest with your head raised and use a cold compress on the cheek in short intervals. Over the counter pain relief may help if suitable for you and taken as directed. Do not place aspirin on the gum or tooth.
Broken or chipped tooth: Rinse gently with lukewarm water to keep the area clean. If a sharp edge is catching your tongue or cheek, orthodontic wax from a chemist can protect the area for a short time.
Knocked out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, and avoid the root. If dirty, rinse very briefly with saline or milk, do not scrub. If you can, place it gently back into the socket and bite on clean gauze. If not, keep it moist in milk or in your mouth between the cheek and gum, and seek urgent dental care. Baby teeth should not be reinserted.
Lost restoration with pain or sensitivity: Keep the area as clean as you can. A temporary kit from a pharmacy can help for a short period, but it is not a replacement for professional care and should only be used as directed.
Soft tissue injury: Rinse gently with saltwater. If there is bleeding, apply light pressure with clean gauze. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent help.
