Dental Emergency? We're Here to Help.
Dental pain and unexpected injuries can be stressful. Get in touch with our team for guidance on the next steps and to enquire about an urgent dental appointment.
Prompt Attention for Unexpected Dental Problems
Dental discomfort, a damaged tooth or an injury to the mouth can happen without warning. Seeking appropriate dental advice promptly may help protect your oral health and identify the most suitable treatment.
Our team can discuss your concerns, explain the next steps and advise whether an urgent dental assessment may be appropriate. If you think you have a dental emergency, contact the practice as soon as possible.
Dental or Mouth Injury
An impact to the teeth, lips or mouth may require prompt assessment, even if the damage is not immediately obvious.
Lost Filling or Crown
A missing or loose restoration can leave a tooth sensitive or vulnerable. Contact the practice for advice.
Dental Swelling
Swelling around a tooth or gum may indicate an infection and should be assessed promptly.
Severe Toothache
Persistent or intense tooth pain may need prompt assessment to identify the cause and discuss suitable care.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A permanent tooth knocked out by an injury needs immediate dental advice. Time can be important.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
A damaged tooth may require an examination to assess the extent of the damage and available treatment options.

What to do in a dental emergency
Contact a dental professional
Explain what happened, when it happened, your symptoms and whether there is swelling or bleeding. Ask what to do next and whether an urgent appointment is available.
Take appropriate immediate steps
For bleeding, apply gentle pressure with clean gauze. For swelling, a cold compress on the outside of the cheek may help. Avoid placing aspirin directly on a tooth or gum.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out
Hold it by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, gently rinse it with milk or saline without scrubbing. Seek immediate dental care; if possible and safe, keep the tooth in milk while travelling for care. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.
Follow the recommended care plan
After assessment, the dental professional can explain the findings, possible treatment options and any follow-up care needed.
