When Is Emergency Dental Treatment Needed?

We arrange emergency appointments when treatment is essential to:

Our team will assess your situation and advise whether an emergency appointment is required.

What to Do While You’re Waiting to Be Seen

Toothache

Take pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen to manage discomfort. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging. Avoid placing painkillers directly on the gum.

Lost Filling

You can use a temporary, shop-bought dental filling material to cover the cavity. In an emergency, sugar-free chewing gum can be used as a short-term solution.

Lost Crown

If the crown is intact, it may be temporarily secured using dental cement or sugar-free chewing gum. Do not use superglue. If the crown is broken, keep all pieces and cover the tooth as you would for a lost filling

Chipped or Broken Tooth

Keep any broken fragments if possible and rinse your mouth gently with warm water. A cold compress applied to the face can help reduce swelling. Use gauze to stop any bleeding.

Knocked-Out Adult Tooth

Time is critical. Please contact us immediately. The sooner you are seen, the greater the chance of saving the tooth. Handle the tooth carefully by the crown only (not the root), rinse gently with water if dirty (do not scrub), and try to place it back into the socket the correct way round.

If this is not possible, store the tooth in milk or in water with a pinch of salt and bring it with you.

Lost Baby Tooth

This is not usually considered an emergency unless the gum is damaged or parts of the tooth remain embedded. Child-appropriate pain relief can be given, and ice lollies may help reduce pain and swelling.
Do not attempt to re-implant a baby tooth, as this could damage the developing adult tooth.

Dental Abscess

Rinse your mouth with warm salty water and apply a cold compress to reduce swelling. If you experience severe pain, significant swelling, fever or flu-like symptoms, please attend your nearest A&E department immediately, as this may require urgent medical attention.
