Emergency Dentist Bournemouth

There are lots of reasons you might need to visit an emergency dentist. You can’t plan for when dental emergencies might arise, and we don’t recommend waiting for your next routine checkup. Rather than ignore the pain, get in touch with Damira Southbourne Dental Practice and make the most of our same-day emergency dental appointment service. You don’t have to be registered as a patient with us to enjoy this benefit. So if your dental pain is keeping you awake at night, preventing you from going to work, or getting in the way of everyday life, then we can help to put things right.

We can often complete simple treatments on the same day, including fillings and simple extractions. For more complex treatment plans, you can arrange a follow-up appointment to complete your care. Some dental emergencies can be life-threatening. In this case, you should call 999 or go to A&E rather than waiting for an emergency appointment. Dental swelling that makes it difficult to breathe or swallow, uncontrolled bleeding and severe trauma to the face may require medical attention.

The goal of an emergency appointment will be to quickly get to the heart of the issue to help prevent further damage or pain. We’ll start with a history of the problem and a visual examination of your teeth and gums. We might take X-rays to get a better look at what is happening out of sight. For simple treatments, we can often complete this on the same day. With more complex treatment plans, we’ll find a temporary solution to the problem and then ask you to arrange a follow-up appointment to complete the treatment.

If you are nervous about your visit, our dental support team can help to put you at ease. We don’t want to allow a fear of the dentist to get in the way of you receiving the dental care you need. To arrange your emergency appointment in Bournemouth, get in touch with our team today. For out of hours service, call our reception number for further instructions.
