When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Please get in touch for an urgent assessment if you experience any of the following:
If you have heavy bleeding that will not stop, difficulty breathing, trauma involving head or neck, or facial swelling affecting your vision or airway, call 999 or visit A&E immediately.
- Severe or persistent toothache that is not easing
- Dental trauma such as a broken or chipped tooth following a fall or impact
- A knocked out tooth
- Facial swelling, a painful gum swelling, or signs that may indicate a dental abscess
- Bleeding from the mouth that does not settle with gentle pressure
- A lost or broken restoration that is causing pain or sharp edges
- Sudden sensitivity or pain when biting
- Soft tissue injuries to the lips, cheeks or tongue
What To Do Right Now: Practical First Steps
Your actions before you are seen can protect the tooth and ease symptoms:
- Toothache or swelling: Keep the area as clean as you can. Rinse gently with warm salty water. Over the counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may help if suitable for you. Always follow the packet advice and check for any personal medical contraindications. Do not place aspirin on the gum.
- Broken tooth: Rinse carefully to remove debris. If there are sharp edges, cover them with dental wax or sugar free chewing gum to protect your cheek or tongue. Keep any fragments and bring them to your appointment.
- Knocked out adult tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root. If dirty, gently rinse with cold water. If you can, place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth to hold it in place. If this is not possible, store the tooth in milk or saliva and seek urgent dental care.
- Bleeding: Apply gentle, steady pressure with a clean gauze or cloth for up to 10 minutes. Avoid frequent checking, as this can disturb the clot.
If you are unsure about any step, our reception team can guide you when you call.
How We Help During Common Dental Emergencies
- Severe toothache: After assessment, we focus on easing pain and addressing the likely cause where suitable. This may include steps to calm inflamed tissues, relieve pressure or protect the area.
- Broken or chipped tooth: Depending on where and how much is damaged, we aim to smooth sharp edges, protect the tooth and help you stay comfortable, then discuss any next steps that may be appropriate.
- Dental abscess and swelling: Where this is suspected, we will advise on the most appropriate course of action after your assessment. Supportive measures may be recommended to manage discomfort and reduce the chance of complications.
- Lost or loose restoration causing pain: We will check the site and stabilise it where possible to protect the tooth and surrounding tissues, then talk you through options for any further care if needed.
