What an emergency dentist appointment may involve

Every situation is different. What we do will always depend on a clinical assessment by our qualified dental professionals and your individual needs.
- A focused chat about your symptoms, when they started, and your medical history
- A gentle examination, with any investigations such as X-rays if clinically indicated for clarity and to guide decisions
- Straightforward explanations of what we believe is happening and the options available
- Immediate steps to reduce pain and protect the tooth or area of concern

Timing and suitability will always be based on your clinical assessment and your preferences.
