Save your teeth
Experiencing a chipped or broken tooth due to an accident or injury or developing an unexpected tooth or gum infection can be a distressing event. So, seeking immediate emergency dental care is crucial.
In case of an emergency, it is important to remain composed and evaluate the seriousness of the situation. If the injury has occurred recently, it is recommended to seek advice through contacting NHS 111. If you have bleeding or severe trauma to the face or mouth, it is wise to seek help at an Accident and Emergency (A&E) hospital for prompt assessment. However, if the issue is persistent or hidden, you can refer to our website for contact information regarding emergency dental appointments that are available round the clock.
Our priority is to provide you with excellent emergency dental treatment and strive to resolve the issue promptly. Additionally, we will offer you comprehensive guidance for your dental issue from the time you schedule an appointment till your visit.
Emergency Dental Treaments
- Toothache: Floss your teeth and rinse your mouth with warm water to remove debris. Apply something cold to your cheek to help swelling. Don’t use painkiller gels near the sore tooth as they can burn the gums and cause further pain. Visit your dentist ASAP.
- Chipped / Broken Teeth: Save any remaining pieces of teeth and rinse thoroughly. Rinse your mouth with warm water and, if necessary, apply gauze to the injured site to stop bleeding. A cold compress applied to your cheek can help swelling and soothe pain. Book an emergency dentist appointment.
- Knocked-out teeth: Hold onto the crown (the bottom part of the tooth) and remove the dirt very carefully from the tooth root if there is any. Don’t scrub away any remaining tissue fragments. If possible, very gently place the tooth back in the socket and contact your dentist. If that proves too difficult, keep it bathed inside your cheek, with your saliva. In children, keep it in some milk.
- Partially dislodged (extruded) tooth: Apply a cold compress to your cheek to ease the pain. Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary. See your dentist ASAP.
- Lost filling: As a temporary solution, use dental temporary filling material from a chemist or sugar-free chewing gum to bridge the cavity. Your dentist will replace your filling during your emergency appointment.
- Lost crown: Book an emergency dentist appointment and bring the crown with you. If possible, apply dental cement/denture adhesive or toothpaste to the inner surface of the crown beforehand and try to place it back over the tooth.
- Trapped object between teeth: Attempt to gently remove the object with dental floss. If the object cannot be taken out, contact your dentist right away.
- Broken braces or wires: Rinse your mouth with salt water to keep your mouth clean and ease the pain. You may be able to push the wire back into place using a soft pencil eraser. Call your dentist if the wire won’t move back into place or is broken.
- Loose brackets and bands: Loose braces can be temporarily reattached with orthodontic wax before your dentist fixes them. If a band becomes loose, save it and call your dentist to have it reattached.
- Abscesses: Abscesses are serious infections that form under teeth and spread if left untreated. Book an emergency appointment with your dentist right away if you notice any painful swelling in your mouth. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with salt water to relieve pain and draw pus to the surface.
- Soft tissue injuries: Injuries to the cheeks, gums, tongue and lips often bleed and require immediate dental treatment. In the meantime, ease the pain by rinsing your mouth with salt water. To control the bleeding, apply pressure to the site with gauze for 15-20 minutes. You can also hold a hot compress to your cheek for 5-10 minutes.
- All emergency dental cases are promptly handled and treatment is provided on the very same day.
- Each and every patient is given a customised treatment plan and a quotation.
- We gladly accept nervous patients at our practice, suffering from any type of dental trauma.
