Dental emergencies can happen at any time — and when they do, you need fast, reliable care. At Spixworth Dental Practice, we understand the urgency. If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, trauma, or a broken tooth during our opening hours, call us and we’ll do our best to fit you in for same-day treatment.
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, here are some of the most common reasons patients contact us urgently:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, please call us as soon as possible. The sooner we see you, the better the outcome is likely to be.
While you’re waiting to see us, here’s how to manage the most common dental emergencies at home:
Persistent or severe dental pain can indicate infection, decay, or damage beneath the surface. We’ll diagnose the cause and provide fast relief.
Whether caused by an accident, biting on something hard, or weakened enamel, we can repair and restore damaged teeth quickly.
A dental abscess is a serious infection that requires prompt treatment. Symptoms include swelling, throbbing pain, fever, and a bad taste in the mouth.
A lost restoration can expose sensitive tooth structure. We’ll replace or re-cement your filling or crown to protect the tooth and relieve discomfort.
When you contact us with an emergency, here’s what happens next:
Call us — explain your symptoms so we can assess urgency.
Same-day appointment — we’ll fit you in as quickly as possible.
Assessment — your dentist will examine, take X-rays if needed, and diagnose the problem.
Treatment — immediate pain relief and treatment provided.
Follow-up — further treatment arranged if needed.
Emergency treatment is available on the NHS (Band 1 urgent charge) when clinically necessary. Private emergency appointments are also available.
Urgent dental treatment is covered under NHS Band 1 charges when clinically necessary. This includes examination, diagnosis, and immediate care such as pain relief or drainage of an abscess.
Private emergency appointments are available for patients who prefer faster access or require treatment beyond NHS provision. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
We’ll always explain costs before treatment begins, so you can make an informed decision about your care.
