When To Contact An Emergency Dentist

Please get in touch promptly if you have any of the following:

If you have heavy bleeding that will not stop, difficulty breathing or swallowing, significant facial swelling affecting the eye or airway, or a suspected broken jaw or head injury, call 999 or visit A&E immediately. Your safety always comes first.

Severe or escalating toothache that is not relieved by painkillers
A knocked-out (avulsed) adult tooth
Broken, fractured or cracked teeth causing pain or sensitivity
Dental or facial swelling, with or without fever
Bleeding from the mouth that does not stop with pressure
Trauma to teeth or gums after a fall, sports injury or accident
Lost or broken restorations that are causing pain or sharp edges
Signs such as a bad taste, pus or throbbing discomfort

Aftercare And Recovery

Before you leave, we will share personalised aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of further problems. This may include:

How to manage discomfort safely at home
Eating and drinking advice to protect the affected tooth or area
Guidance on oral hygiene around any temporary dressing or tender tissues
Signs to watch for, and when to contact us again

Where suitable, we will arrange a follow-up visit to review healing and discuss longer-term options tailored to your needs. You will have time to consider your choices, ask questions and decide at your own pace.

What To Do Right Now

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

Severe toothache: Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed. Avoid very hot, cold or sweet foods and drinks. Rinse gently with warm saltwater. Contact us as soon as you can for assessment.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the top, not the root. If it is dirty, give it a quick rinse with cold water. If you can, gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If this is not possible, keep it moist in milk or your saliva. Seek urgent dental care. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
Broken tooth or lost filling: Keep any fragments in clean saline or milk if available. Cover any sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum to protect your tongue and cheeks. Arrange an urgent appointment.
Swelling: Do not apply heat. Use a cold compress on the outside of your face and contact us promptly. If the swelling spreads towards your eye or neck, or affects your breathing, seek emergency medical help immediately.

How We Help At Your Emergency Appointment

Your comfort and safety are our priority. At Dentist By The Green, emergency appointments are designed to:

Assess the problem: We start by listening to your symptoms and examining the area. X-rays may be taken, where appropriate, to give a clearer picture so we can plan care accurately and explain your options with confidence.
Relieve pain: We focus on easing discomfort early. This may include local anaesthetic and measures to calm sensitivity or irritation so you feel more comfortable before we continue.
Stabilise the issue: Depending on the diagnosis, we may place a temporary dressing, smooth sharp edges, re-cement a loose restoration, or provide care to drain a local build-up where suitable.
Control a spreading problem: If there are signs that the issue is spreading, antibiotics may be prescribed where clinically indicated, alongside local measures and advice.
Plan the next step: Once things are steady, we outline your choices for definitive care. This may include further treatment, depending on your needs and clinical findings.

Same-day emergency appointments may be available. Please contact our reception team and we will do our best to see you promptly. Suitability and timing depend on clinical urgency and availability.
