Emergency dentist questions
What is considered a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, facial swelling, and dental injuries. If you're unsure, contact us, and we'll advise you on the best course of action.
Can I get a same-day appointment for a dental emergency?
Yes, we strive to accommodate same-day appointments for dental emergencies. Call us as soon as possible, and we'll prioritise your care.
How much does an emergency appointment cost?
Our emergency appointment is £183. It covers your assessment and treatment to relieve your pain, such as a simple extraction or dressing the tooth. If the tooth needs more, such as root canal treatment or a crown, there will be extra charges, and we'll tell you the cost before we start. If you come back for further treatment on the same tooth, we'll take the £183 off that treatment.
What should I do if I knock out a tooth?
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately for urgent care.
What if I have an emergency when you're closed?
Call 01784 454 899 and listen to the recorded message, which gives the emergency dentist's contact number. If you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, or bleeding that won't stop, go to A&E or call 999.
Should I call or send an enquiry?
If you're in pain, please call us on 01784 454 899. It's the quickest way to an appointment. The enquiry form is fine for less urgent problems, such as a small chip or a lost filling that isn't painful.
