We have an emergency dentist on call during weekends and bank holidays for our registered patients.
In the event of an emergency, please call our practice where you will be given the phone number and details of the dentist on call.
We advise you to ring early in the morning if possible, as this service is usually only open for a few hours each day.
In the event of an extreme dental emergency and you are unable to contact our on-call dentist, please go to your local A&E.
Dental pain can be eased with painkillers (ibuprofen or Solpadine) . Always follow the directions on the packet or from the pharmacist. Phone the dentist as soon as possible to schedule an appointment.
Swelling can be caused by infection from an abscess. The most common treatment is a dentist/doctor prescribed antibiotic. Pain relief can also be taken.
Contact your dentist for an appointment, but if you experience difficulty with breathing or swallowing you should go straight to the hospital.
When a crown/bridge comes out the most common mistake people make is to try to replace it with superglue. Please do not do this!
You can buy temporary cement from the chemist to use until you get an appointment to attend the surgery. If you still have the crown keep it safe until your appointment.
Again, do not attempt to repair the denture with superglue! Make an appointment with the practice as soon as possible and keep any broken parts of the denture for your appointment. Usually, a lab technician can repair a denture in one day.
Usually, a broken tooth or filling creates a sharp edge that can irritate your tongue. To prevent irritation you can purchase temporary filling material at most chemists that you should use until you can get an appointment.
You should also try to avoid eating with the side of the mouth with the broken filling. You may also need to avoid very hot/cold liquids if you are experiencing any sensitivity around the affected area.
