Emergency Dentist Oakham

You can’t plan for a dental emergency, which means you might struggle to know what to do when one strikes. This is why a reliable emergency dentist in your area can be so helpful. You’ll always know where to turn when you are facing any kind of dental mishap, and you don’t even have to be registered with us as a patient to make the most of this service. We serve the whole of the Oakham community, even if you don’t have a dentist at the moment. Any kind of dental pain should be treated as an emergency, as it is very unlikely to resolve without help from a dentist. In some instances, a dental emergency can become a life-threatening emergency. In this case, we would recommend visiting A&E or calling 999 if you are concerned. A medical emergency from a dental issue would include swelling that makes it difficult to swallow or breathe, and uncontrolled bleeding.

An emergency appointment is slightly different to a typical routine checkup, as the focus will be on a single issue, not your overall oral health. We’ll start with an examination of your mouth and ask questions about the issue and when it started. We might take X-rays if we need to get a better picture of what is going on below the surface. We’ll then create a treatment plan to help get your oral health back on track and to prevent further damage and pain. Treatment may be completed on the same day, or we might invite you to book a follow-up to complete your care. We can help you to quickly overcome your dental issues so you can get back to enjoying life.
