Dental emergencies we can help with
If you are not sure whether your problem is urgent, call us and our team will advise you.
Severe toothache
Persistent or severe tooth pain, often caused by decay or infection, needs to be assessed.
Swelling or infection
Swelling, an abscess or signs of infection should be seen promptly. An infection will not go away without treatment.
Broken or chipped teeth
We can assess and repair a broken tooth and protect it from further damage.
Lost fillings or crowns
A lost filling, crown or bridge can leave a tooth sensitive and exposed. We can help to restore it.
Knocked out teeth and trauma
If an adult tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, keep it moist in milk and call us straight away.
Wisdom tooth problems
Painful or swollen wisdom teeth can be assessed by our team. Read about tooth removal.
When to call 999 or go to A&E: if you have swelling that is affecting your breathing or swallowing, bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury to your face or head. Outside our opening hours, NHS 111 can advise you on urgent dental care.
