Emergency dentistry focuses on easing pain and stabilising the situation first. At Dentist By The Green, we will focus on what you need most on the day.
A calm conversation about your symptoms and relevant medical history
A thorough clinical examination, and X rays if appropriate, to understand the cause
Immediate steps to reduce pain and protect the tooth or soft tissues
Clear guidance on next steps, tailored to your needs and clinical findings
Depending on your assessment, we may place a protective dressing, smooth a sharp edge, or provide other stabilising care where suitable. If X rays are taken, they give a clearer view to guide decisions, support comfort and help plan care with accuracy. We will explain what we find, discuss options and outline any further treatment that may be recommended after your emergency has been managed. Suitability always depends on your individual clinical needs.
1) Initial Contact
Speak with our reception team and describe your symptoms. If you are in pain or worried about a recent injury, please tell us so we can triage appropriately. We will also offer practical self care tips that may help until you are seen.
2) Examination And Relief Of Pain
At your appointment we will examine the area and, if suitable, take X rays to understand the cause. Our priority is to reduce discomfort and protect the tooth or soft tissues. We will talk you through what we are doing as we go, so you feel informed and reassured.
3) Stabilisation And Next Steps
Once your immediate needs have been addressed, we will explain your options and, where appropriate, arrange follow up care tailored to your situation. Every recommendation is made after a clinical assessment and depends on your individual needs. You can take time to consider your choices, and we will answer questions in plain English.
Any relevant medical information, including a list of medications and known allergies
Dental problems can feel unsettling, especially when they happen suddenly. Our team offers a calm, considerate environment and plain spoken explanations so you understand what is happening and why. From first contact through to follow up, we focus on helping you feel supported, reassured and able to make decisions at your own pace.
While you arrange an appointment, the tips below may help you feel more comfortable. Use them with care and only if they are appropriate for you.
Rinse gently with warm salty water. Use over the counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you. Follow the packet instructions and check for allergies or interactions. Do not place aspirin on the gum. Keep the area clean and avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods.
If you can, keep any fragments. Rinse them and store cleanly. Gently rinse your mouth with warm water. Cover any sharp edges with orthodontic wax if you have it, and avoid chewing on that side.
Handle the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If it is clean, you may try to gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot, store it in milk or saliva. Seek urgent dental care.
Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to control minor bleeding. Use a cold compress on the cheek to help reduce swelling. Please avoid smoking and alcohol while you have a dental injury or swelling, as they may worsen symptoms or delay healing.
Prompt, patient focused support. We aim to offer same day emergency appointments where possible, with your comfort at the centre of decisions.
