If you have significant facial swelling affecting your vision or breathing, trauma with uncontrollable bleeding, or symptoms of a spreading dental problem with fever or feeling very unwell, please seek urgent medical attention via NHS 111 or attend A&E.

We believe that clear explanation helps reduce anxiety. During your visit, fully qualified dental professionals will talk through what we find and what it may mean, discuss short-term relief and longer-term stability, and provide written guidance where helpful.
Suitability for any procedure will always depend on a consultation, clinical assessment, your medical history and your individual needs. Our approach is ethical and evidence based, with planning designed around safety, comfort and your priorities.

Once your immediate concerns are settled, we will recommend a personalised plan for any further care you may need.

This thoughtful way of caring for you supports long-term comfort, everyday confidence and your ongoing oral health.
Severe toothache: Keep the area as clean as you can and avoid very hot or cold foods. Over-the-counter pain relief may help if suitable for you. Arrange an assessment so we can find the cause and help relieve symptoms.
Broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth gently with lukewarm water. If there are sharp edges, dental wax from a pharmacy can protect your tongue or cheeks for a short time. Keep any fragments safe and bring them with you.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, rinse briefly under cold running water for a few seconds. If you feel able, gently put it back in place and bite on a clean cloth. If not possible, store it in milk or saliva and seek urgent professional help. Timely care may improve the chance of saving the tooth.
Swelling or suspected dental problem: Do not apply heat. Keep upright where possible and contact a dental professional for advice. If swelling is severe or affects breathing or swallowing, seek emergency medical help immediately.
Ongoing bleeding after dental treatment: Sit upright, place a clean gauze pad or rolled-up cloth over the area, and bite down with steady pressure for 20 minutes without checking. If bleeding continues, contact a dental professional for guidance.
If you are unsure what to do, a short call to our team can help you decide on your next step.
