Dental pain rarely waits for a convenient time. During working hours we keep room for emergencies. Call before you come so we can be ready for you.
You might need this if…
- Severe or throbbing toothache
- Facial swelling
- A broken, chipped or knocked-out tooth
- A lost crown or filling
- Bleeding that won’t stop after an extraction
How it’s done
- 1
Call us
Tell us what happened; we’ll advise you what to do on the way and when to come.
- 2
Relief first
We find the cause and get you out of pain, often in the same visit.
- 3
Plan the fix
Once you’re comfortable, we plan any follow-up treatment.
Afterwards
- Knocked-out adult tooth: hold it by the crown, not the root; rinse briefly, keep it in milk or inside your cheek, and come immediately. Time matters.
- Swelling spreading to the eye or neck, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, needs a hospital emergency department straight away.
Questions patients ask
Take a painkiller that is safe for you, rinse with warm salt water and keep your head raised. Don’t put aspirin on the gum. Call us in the morning. Go to a hospital straight away if your face swells quickly or you have a fever with swelling.
Sometimes, if it’s an adult tooth and you reach a dentist quickly, ideally within an hour. Keep the tooth moist in milk.
