Severe Toothache
An intense, persistent toothache often caused by an infection, a damaged tooth, or other dental issues.
Dental Emergency
What is a dental emergency?
If you experience sudden and severe dental pain or trauma it may require immediate attention from a dental professional. These emergencies typically involve conditions or injuries that, if left untreated, can result in significant pain, infection, damage to teeth or surrounding tissues, or other serious complications.
The aim of our dental emergency appointment is to relive you of any pain and discomfort.
What is classed as a dental emergency?
Knocked-Out Tooth
When a tooth is completely dislodged from its socket due to trauma or injury, immediate dental care is necessary to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
Broken or Fractured Tooth
A tooth that is chipped, cracked, or fractured, especially if it causes pain or exposes sensitive inner layers of the tooth, requires immediate attention.
Lost Dental Crown or Filling
When a dental crown or filling comes loose or falls out, it can leave the underlying tooth vulnerable and in need of prompt repair.
Abscessed Tooth
An abscess is a painful, swollen, and often pus-filled area around a tooth's root, indicating a severe infection. This is considered a dental emergency and requires immediate treatment.
Severe Gum or Soft Tissue Injury
Trauma to the gums, lips, tongue, or other soft tissues in the mouth that results in significant bleeding or damage requires immediate care.
Jaw Fractures
Suspected fractures or injuries to the jawbone, which can affect a person's ability to eat, speak, or breathe properly, should be treated as a dental emergency.
Persistent Oral Bleeding
If bleeding in the mouth does not stop after applying pressure or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it may be an emergency.
Painful Orthodontic Issues
In some cases, orthodontic devices (such as braces) can cause severe pain or discomfort that requires immediate attention.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Have questions? We're here to help.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
Try to gently place the tooth back into its socket if possible. If not, store it in a container of milk or saliva and seek dental care immediately. Time is critical when it comes to saving a knocked-out tooth.
What should I do if I break a tooth?
Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area. If there’s bleeding, apply gauze to control it. Seek dental care promptly to assess the damage and repair the tooth.
How can I manage severe toothache at home?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, floss gently to remove any debris, and take over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary. Avoid using aspirin directly on the tooth as it can irritate the gum tissues. Schedule a dental appointment as soon as possible.
