Daytime Emergencies
Urgent appointments during practice hours for dental pain and accidents.
Daytime Emergency
During practice opening hours, we reserve emergency appointment slots each day for patients experiencing urgent dental problems. If you are in pain or have an urgent dental concern, please call us as early in the day as possible.
When to call us:
- Severe toothache or persistent dental pain
- A broken, chipped or knocked-out tooth
- A lost filling, crown or veneer
- Swelling in the mouth, face or jaw
- Bleeding that will not stop after dental treatment
- An abscess or signs of infection
What to expect:
When you call, our reception team will assess the urgency of your situation and arrange an appointment as soon as possible. Our dentist will examine you, manage your pain, and discuss the best course of treatment to resolve the issue.
Out of Hours Emergency
If you experience a dental emergency outside of our normal practice hours, including evenings, weekends and bank holidays, please follow the guidance below:
NHS 111 Service
Call NHS 111 for free dental advice and to be directed to the nearest available emergency dental service. NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
While you wait:
- Toothache: Take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen or paracetamol. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
- Knocked-out tooth: If possible, place the tooth back in its socket or keep it in milk. Seek emergency dental care within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
- Broken tooth: Rinse your mouth gently with warm water. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Lost filling: Temporary filling material is available from pharmacies. Avoid chewing on that side until you can see a dentist.
A&E attendance
Visit your nearest A&E if you experience uncontrollable bleeding, significant facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, or trauma to the face or jaw following an accident.
