When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Please get in touch urgently if you are experiencing any of the following:
If you develop difficulty breathing, swelling that is spreading to your eye, neck or floor of mouth, high fever or feel very unwell, seek urgent medical help via NHS 111 or attend A&E.
- Severe or persistent toothache that is not settling with over the counter pain relief
- Dental trauma from a fall, accident or sports injury
- A broken, chipped or fractured tooth, or a sharp edge cutting your cheek or tongue
- A lost or dislodged filling, inlay, onlay or crown that is causing pain or sensitivity
- Swelling of the gum or face, a dental abscess or signs of a spreading problem, such as a bad taste
- A tooth that has been knocked out, adult tooth
- Soft tissue injuries in the mouth, such as cuts to the lips, cheeks or tongue
After Your Emergency Visit
Your dentist will give you specific instructions, but the following general advice may help:
- Keep the area clean: Gently brush as normal, taking care around tender sites. A warm saltwater rinse, if advised by your dentist, may provide comfort.
- Manage discomfort: Use any recommended pain relief as directed. If pain worsens or swelling increases, please contact us.
- Eat and drink sensibly: Choose softer foods and avoid extremes of temperature if these aggravate symptoms.
- Monitor for changes: If you notice spreading swelling, fever, difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek urgent medical attention.
If anything worries you after your appointment, you can call our team for guidance.
What To Do Before Your Appointment
These simple steps may help protect the tooth and keep you more comfortable before you reach us:
If you are unsure what to do, our team can advise when you call.
- Knocked out adult tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If you can, gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or in your mouth between the cheek and gums. Do not scrub or remove any tissue from the root. Do not attempt to reinsert a baby tooth.
- Broken tooth or lost filling: Keep any fragments. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. If a sharp edge is rubbing, dental wax from a pharmacy may offer short term protection.
- Bleeding: Apply gentle, continuous pressure with clean gauze or a cloth for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Pain relief: If suitable for you, over the counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen may help. Always follow the instructions on the packet and your GP’s advice. Do not place aspirin directly on the gum or tooth.
- Avoid very hot or cold foods and drinks if they trigger pain. Choose softer foods and try to keep the area as clean as you can without causing discomfort.
Your Emergency Appointment: What To Expect
Our priority is to ease pain and stabilise the problem. Your visit typically includes:
- Triage and history: We will listen to what has happened, your symptoms and your medical history, including any medicines you take.
- Focused examination: The dentist will examine the tooth, gums and surrounding tissues. Digital X rays may be taken if needed. These help us see clearly, plan accurately and explain your options with confidence.
- Clear explanation: We will talk you through our findings in straightforward terms, discuss the immediate options and agree a plan with you. Suitability always depends on clinical assessment and your individual needs.
- Immediate care: Depending on the diagnosis, we may smooth a sharp edge, place a temporary dressing or restoration, re cement a dislodged crown where appropriate, start root canal treatment to relieve pressure, drain a dental abscess, or remove a tooth if this is the most suitable option for your situation. Antibiotics are prescribed only when clinically appropriate as part of managing a dental abscess or related concerns.
- Next steps: Emergency care is designed to get you comfortable and protect your oral health. Some conditions may need follow up visits for definitive treatment. We will outline a tailored plan and give you clear aftercare advice.
Caring For Dental Injuries And Infections
- Tooth fractures: Minor chips can often be smoothed and protected at your emergency visit. Deeper fractures may need more involved treatment, which we will plan with you after stabilising the area.
- Knocked out tooth, adult: Reimplantation may be possible if the tooth is handled correctly and assessed promptly. Suitability depends on the condition of the tooth and surrounding tissues and is confirmed after a clinical examination.
- Dental infections: Managing a dental abscess safely is a priority. Where appropriate, we may relieve pressure by creating drainage or starting root canal treatment. Antibiotics alone may not resolve the cause and are prescribed only when indicated.
We will always explain what we are doing and why, so you feel informed and supported.
