A dental emergency is any problem which requires immediate attention. This could be an injury, infection, or severe pain. If you’re not sure whether you require emergency treatment, please call our friendly team who will invite you for an appointment if necessary.
A tooth being knocked out is a serious dental emergency. Please call us to make an appointment as soon as it happens. The faster we can see you, the higher chance that the root can be saved.
Immediately after the tooth is knocked out, please attempt to reinsert it into the socket to protect the root. If the tooth cannot be reinserted, please clean and bring it with you to your appointment (if you have it).
Tooth extractions are only done when it is not possible to save your natural tooth, and your dentist will always try to save it wherever possible. If the tooth must be removed, your dentist will discuss your options with you regarding extraction and possible dental reconstruction.
Of course. We will still aim to treat you within 24 hours of your call – even if you are not a registered patient with us.
A&E is not an ideal place to receive treatment, except in extreme cases of excessive bleeding, breathing problems due to swelling, or swelling around the eyes and neck.
Emergency departments generally do not have the equipment or expertise necessary to manage dental emergencies. Please contact us and our team will arrange to see you as soon as possible to address your issue.
