A list of any medications you are taking and any known allergies

These small steps help us give you focused, safe care from the start.

Emergency dentistry is about timely diagnosis and immediate steps to manage pain, swelling and trauma. At your urgent appointment, our first priority is to listen, understand what has happened and examine the area carefully. We will then recommend the most appropriate next steps for you. Where suitable, we can provide treatment straight away to relieve discomfort and protect the tooth or soft tissues. You will also receive clear advice on aftercare and any further appointments you may need. Your care is delivered by qualified dental professionals who follow evidence based guidance, with safety and comfort at the centre of every decision.

Many urgent issues can be settled quickly with targeted treatment and advice. Some problems may need staged care over more than one visit. Where suitable, your dentist will outline a plan to support healing and comfort while moving towards a definitive solution. We will tailor guidance on eating, drinking, oral hygiene and monitoring symptoms to you after your assessment. Our aim is to help you eat comfortably again, smile in photos without worrying and feel reassured that you know what to expect next.
Pain relief: Consider taking paracetamol or ibuprofen if you can do so safely and are not allergic. Do not exceed the stated dose. If unsure, a pharmacist can advise. Please do not place aspirin on the gum or tooth.
Swelling: Keep upright and apply a cool compress on the outside of your face. Do not apply heat.
Broken tooth or sharp edge: If safe, use dental wax from a pharmacy to cover the area and protect your tongue and cheeks until you are seen.
Lost filling or crown: Keep the area clean. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy may help for a short time, but please have the tooth assessed as soon as you can.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If clean, try to gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot, keep it moist in milk or saline. Seek urgent dental care immediately. Do not reinsert baby teeth.
If you are ever unsure what to do, our reception team can offer interim guidance when you call.
Calm, patient-centred care: Dental pain can feel overwhelming. We take time to listen, explain and help you feel comfortable.

01
We will ask a few questions to understand your symptoms and how urgent they are. This helps us offer the right appointment and initial advice.

Triage and history: We ask about your symptoms, when they started and any relevant medical details, including allergies and current medications. This helps us focus the examination and keep you safe.
Clinical assessment: Your dentist will examine the area thoroughly. X-rays may be taken where helpful. These images improve clarity and accuracy so we can make a clear diagnosis and plan your care carefully.
Immediate care: Depending on your needs, urgent treatment may include smoothing sharp edges, placing a protective dressing, re-cementing a restoration where suitable or draining an abscess. Pain relief and advice are given at the appointment, and a prescription may be issued if clinically indicated.
Next steps: Many emergencies can be settled or stabilised straightaway. If further treatment is needed, we will outline your options and arrange follow up care tailored to you. Suitability always depends on clinical assessment and your individual circumstances.
