Emergency Dentist Chingford

At Damira The Avenue Dental Practice, we are proud to be able to support all patients in an emergency. We set aside a number of appointments each day to be able to accommodate dental emergencies. The nature of dental emergencies means that you can’t schedule them, and when they strike, they can quickly derail your day. If your dental pain is keeping you awake at night or preventing you from going to work, then it’s essential that you seek help as soon as possible.

With our help, you can quickly understand the source of your pain and find treatment to help put things right. This could mean treatment on the day, or interim treatment to help ease your discomfort until you arrange follow-up care. You don’t have to be a registered patient to make the most of this service. In the case of life threatening injuries, please call 999. This would include uncontrolled bleeding, swelling that restricts your bleeding, and severe trauma to the face or neck.

The goal of an emergency dental appointment is to quickly address your pain or discomfort. This typically starts with an examination and a history of your symptoms. We may also take X-rays to get a better look at your teeth and jaw structures. When the treatment is simple, we can often complete this on the same day. Examples of this would be for simple extractions or replacing a filling. We can also reattach dental appliances like bridges and crowns if you have managed to save it.

In the case of more complex requirements, you’ll need to book a follow-up appointment to complete the treatment. We can also provide medication in the meantime to help ease any pain or discomfort. Examples of this would be for more complex wisdom tooth removal, root canals, or creating a new bridge, crown or veneer to replace a missing one. Patients are able to choose between returning to their usual dentist or continuing treatment with us.
