Dental emergencies in Oxford

Dental emergencies can quickly derail your life, making it difficult to sleep at night and concentrate during the day. We don’t recommend waiting for your next routine checkup, as the damage could become much worse in the meantime. If you’re struggling with dental pain, book a same-day emergency dental appointment in Oxford with Damira Oxford Dental Practice. This service is not only available to registered patients, we can also help those who aren’t registered with us. This is perfect if your usual dentist can’t find time for you, or if you don’t currently have a routine dentist. Consultations are available for both adults and children.

We can also support nervous patients and those who have been avoiding dental checkups. If you are struggling to swallow or breathe, if you have uncontrollable bleeding or if you’ve suffered a trauma to the face or jaw, this is a medical emergency. You should call 999 or go to A&E.

Emergency dental care explained

During an emergency dental appointment, our goal will be to quickly understand the cause of the problem and then to create a treatment plan that will minimise further damage. If treatment is simple enough, this may be carried out on the same day, but in most situations you will need to return for follow-up treatment. In this case, we can provide interim care that will ease your discomfort and prevent further damage. Before going forward with any treatment, you will always be told the expected costs so you are fully informed every step of the way.

We can often accommodate same-day dental appointments if there is capacity. We recommend calling as early as possible in the morning to secure your spot. Examples of common dental emergencies we see in Oxford include toothache, dental abscesses, knocked out teeth, chipped teeth and complications from oral surgery. Whatever the problem, we can help to get to the heart of the issue and quickly put things right.

What to expect during your emergency appointment

During your emergency dental consultation, our goal is to first understand the cause of the problem and then take steps to stop your pain and prevent further damage. If possible, we’ll complete work on the same day, but you will most likely need to arrange a follow-up appointment. Antibiotics may be required to control infection and provide relief from pain in the meantime. Your consultation will start with a quick history of the issue, and then we’ll examine your teeth and gums. We may need to take X-rays to get a better idea of what is going on below the surface. We’ll then formulate a treatment plan to help you find relief from your pain so you can get back to enjoying life. Our friendly and supportive team will help to put you at ease so we can deal with your dental emergency.
