General Advice on Dental Emergencies
-
Toothache
Constant, severe pain usually indicates that a tooth is dying or infected. In the meantime, over-the-counter pain killers as advised by a pharmacist can help. Avoid any precipitating factors – e.g. chewing hard foods or hot or cold drinks if these cause pain. In all cases it is best to gets things checked as soon as possible. -
Facial Swelling
This is usually caused by infection and treatment will be required. Contact the practice without delay. In the rare event a swelling in your mouth has become so large it is becoming difficult to swallow or breathe, contact your local emergency department or dial 111 for further attention.
-
Broken Tooth Or Filling
If the tooth is painful, avoid eating very hot or cold foods and chewing on that side. Painkillers may help. Contact the surgery to have the tooth assessed without too much delay as this may increase the risk of further damage to the tooth and possibly the nerve inside. -
Lost Crown Or Bridge
The tooth may be sensitive to temperature so avoid very hot or cold drinks. Avoid eating on that side so that trapped food does not cause discomfort. Keep the crown/bridge safe and bring it to your dentist. It will be recemented to avoid further damage to the underlying tooth and nerve.
Some Extra Advice Around Dental Emergencies

Broken dentures
Broken dentures can usually be repaired, and we have arrangements with local laboratories to have this done as quickly as possible. Sometimes it is necessary to take an impression of your mouth so that the broken parts can be reliably relocated.
Dental trauma
If a tooth has been completely knocked out, then it needs to be re-implanted as soon as possible.
Call us immediately for an emergency appointment. Avoid touching the root to prevent damage to the fibrous attachment. If the tooth is visibly dirty, rinse it gently with water but do not scrub. If you can, replace the tooth back in the socket and hold it there until you see your dentist. If this is difficult keep the tooth in iced milk. If a tooth has been slightly knocked out of position, then attempt to gently reposition it with very light finger pressure. Avoid eating and contact us for an emergency appointment.
