When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Please get in touch as soon as you can if you have any of the following:
- Severe or persistent toothache that is not improving with usual pain relief
- Facial swelling, a bad taste or signs that may point to a possible abscess
- A broken, chipped or cracked tooth, especially if it is painful or sharp
- A knocked-out or loosened tooth after an accident
- A lost filling, inlay, onlay or crown that is causing discomfort or sensitivity
- Soft tissue injuries in the mouth or gums
- Prolonged bleeding after a dental procedure
We know problems do not always happen at convenient times. Whether you had a mishap on your way to The Kia Oval, noticed a sudden swelling at home in Oval Village, or chipped a tooth while out by Kennington Park, our reception team will do their best to arrange an urgent appointment for you, subject to availability. You will be treated with care and respect from the first call.
A Calm, Reassuring Environment
Dental emergencies can feel worrying, especially if you are in pain or concerned about swelling or trauma. Our team takes a gentle, thoughtful approach. We talk you through each step, check your comfort during any procedure and provide clear guidance to help you look after the area once you leave the practice. If you feel anxious about treatment, please tell us. Taking time to explain and to proceed at a pace that suits you can make urgent care feel more manageable.
Support For Common Dental Emergencies
Emergency dentistry can help manage a wide range of urgent issues. Depending on the assessment, care at your visit may include:
Pain relief and protective dressings for deep decay or fractured teeth, designed to settle the tooth until a definitive solution can be planned
Temporary repairs for lost fillings or crowns where feasible, to shield sensitive areas and reduce discomfort
Management of dental abscesses and local swellings, which may involve drainage where suitable and, where indicated, a prescription to help control symptoms
Care for dental trauma, such as stabilising a loosened tooth or advising on the best next step for chipped or broken edges
If you have a knocked-out adult tooth, hold it by the crown, the part you normally see, and avoid touching the root. Keep it moist in milk or in your own saliva and seek dental care as soon as you can. These general pointers are not a substitute for professional assessment, and the viability of any tooth depends on many factors a dentist will need to evaluate. If in doubt, call for advice.
Practical Tips Until You’re Seen
The following simple measures may help while you arrange an appointment:
02
02Swelling
A cold compress held gently on the outside of the cheek may help reduce discomfort and swelling.
03
03Broken Or Chipped Tooth
If a tooth fragment has broken off, keep it clean and bring it with you.
04
04Keep The Area Clean
Keep the area clean with careful brushing, and consider a warm saltwater rinse to help with tenderness.
05
05Avoid Extremes Temperature Very
Avoid extremes of temperature and very sweet or hard foods that could aggravate sensitivity or cause further damage.
These are general suggestions only. They are not a replacement for a dental assessment. If you have significant swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or feel generally unwell, seek urgent medical help.
