What is a dental emergency?
We know that a dental emergency can be a distressing experience, which is why we prioritise giving you immediate support. We have no waiting list for emergencies and pride ourselves on our rapid response, ensuring your situation is assessed and you are out of pain as soon as possible.
Please contact us for help and advice if you experience any of the following:
- Sudden pain in your teeth, gums or mouth
- A broken tooth
- A lost filling or crown
- A damaged, fractured or knocked out tooth
- Extreme swelling in your gum or an abscess.
What to do if you have…
Toothache?
You can take painkillers regularly to help relieve the pain. You can use paracetamol or ibuprofen, but please remember to follow the instructions on the packet.
-
Lost filling or crown?
Keep the restoration if you still have it. If intact, you can use over-the-counter dental cement (if you have access to it) to temporarily stick the filling or crown in place.
-
Chipped tooth?
First, rinse your mouth with warm water. If you have any pieces, keep them. A cold compress will help reduce any swelling and you can stop any bleeding with a piece of gauze pressed on the wound.
-
Knocked out tooth?
We will be much more likely to save the tooth if you see us quickly. Hold the tooth carefully and avoid touching the roots – these are very delicate. Rinse gently with water to remove excess skin.
If you can, try to put the tooth back and make sure it is the right way around. Don’t force it in as this could damage the tooth and the gum. If you can’t put the tooth back in place, keep it in some milk or some water containing a pinch of salt and bring it to your appointment.
-
An abscess?
Rinse your mouth with warm, salty water and apply a cold compress to ease any swelling. If you experience intense pain and swelling, accompanied by flu-like symptoms, you should give us a call and we will arrange for immediate assistance.
