If your dental issues are making it difficult to breathe, or if you have a sudden swelling or uncontrolled bleeding, you should treat this as an emergency and call 999.
What counts as a dental emergency?
If your dental pain is making it difficult to sleep, eat, go to work or enjoy everyday activities, then you should treat this as a dental emergency. Other examples of a dental emergency would be trauma to the face, such as a knocked out tooth or chipped tooth, even if the damage isn’t obvious. Excessive bleeding that cannot be controlled with gauze after dental surgery would also count as a dental emergency.
It would also be considered an emergency if you have lost a dental restoration like a crown or bridge. This could leave the underlying tooth structure feeling more sensitive and vulnerable to damage. You should also seek out an emergency dental appointment if you have broken a denture or an orthodontic appliance, as this could lead to further injury if it is not addressed. If you’re not sure if you’re dealing with a dental emergency or not, get in touch with our reception team to explain your symptoms. They will be able to advise you on the next steps.
Your emergency dental appointment explained
The purpose of an emergency dental appointment is to quickly understand the source of pain and then take steps to put things right. An emergency dental appointment might not always provide treatment on the same day, but it should help to address the cause of your pain. We start with a visual examination and X-rays to understand the source of the pain. We can then decide if treatment can be completed on the same day, or if you’ll need to return for a follow-up appointment. We may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics to help control an infection in the meantime.
Examples of treatment that can be completed on the same day include replacing fillings, extracting damaged teeth, or restoring a lost bridge or crown. For more complex treatment like a root canal or porcelain restoration, you will be invited to arrange a follow-up appointment to complete your treatment plan.
