Emergency Dentist Wickham

Dental issues won’t go away without treatment, and leaving this until your next routine checkup could lead to further damage. This is why we recommend booking an emergency dental appointment when you’re in pain or worried about dental damage. We’re pleased to be able to offer this service to all Wickham residents, even if you aren’t registered as a patient with us. We offer consultations for both children and adults. So even if your usual dentist can’t fit you in, or if you’re not currently registered with a dentist, you’ll be able to find help.

We can also support nervous patients to navigate their complex phobias, ensuring that a fear of the dentist doesn’t interfere with their ability to get treatment. Our friendly and supportive team will help to put you at ease, so you can quickly find relief from your dental problems. If your dental issue is a medical emergency, you should call 999 or visit A&E rather than waiting for an emergency dental appointment. A medical emergency would include any instance of excessive bleeding, trauma to the face or neck, or swelling that makes it difficult to swallow or breathe.

The goal of an emergency dental appointment will be to address your pain and to prevent further damage. We may be able to carry out restorative work on the same day, or we might ask you to book a follow-up appointment. Medication may be prescribed to help control pain and infection. We’ll usually start with a history of the problem, followed by a detailed exam. We’ll also take X-rays, if required, to help us to get a clearer picture of your dental health. Simple treatments like extractions and fillings can often be completed on the same day. Where same-day treatment isn’t possible, we’ll take steps to control your discomfort in the meantime.
