Sadly, dental emergencies can and do happen. Whether through accident or illness, our dental experts can help diagnose your problem, provide comfort and relief, treat the problem, or refer you, if needed.
Emergencies need to be seen as soon as possible, to prevent signs and symptoms from worsening. We reserve appointment slots each day to cater for any emergencies that arise and help ensure you’re seen quickly.
Book appointmentOur patients often ask us what can be construed as a dental emergency. We can help with the following:
Contact us as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. If you’re unsure whether the situation is an emergency or not, either call our practice, or get in touch with the NHS 111 service.

Get in touch with us, and keep the tooth in milk. We may be able to re-insert the tooth. Do not attempt to clean or disinfect the tooth.
Depending on the severity of the swelling, either talk to us or phone the NHS 111 service. We might advise you to use an ice pack against the area between the time you contact us and the time of your appointment.
Depending on the severity of the bleeding, either talk to us or phone the NHS 111 service. We might advise you to bite down on a wad of cotton, putting pressure on the bleeding area, between the time you contact us and the time of your appointment
You should get in touch the moment you suspect a dental emergency. The faster your problem is seen to, the better the outcome may be for you and your smile.
We can help in many emergency situations, and will talk you through what’s involved. Your comfort and peace of mind is our utmost priority.
You may require follow-up treatment or a referral. In either case, we’ll discuss the options with you to ensure you’re happy with your care.
