What To Do In A Dental Emergency
Toothache or Swelling
Tooth pain often indicates an underlying infection or inflammation, especially when accompanied by swelling. Contact us as soon as possible so we can diagnose the problem and relieve your discomfort. Until your appointment, you may take ibuprofen or paracetamol as directed and avoid very hot or cold foods that may worsen the pain.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is a true dental emergency.
- Hold the tooth by the crown, never the root.
- If possible, gently place it back into the socket.
- If not, keep it in cold milk or inside your cheek and contact us immediately.
The sooner you are seen, the greater the chance the tooth can be saved.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A chipped or fractured tooth can often be repaired if treated early. Avoid chewing on the affected side and contact us promptly so we can prevent further damage and restore your smile.
Lost Crown or Filling
A missing crown or filling can leave your tooth sensitive and vulnerable to fracture.
Keep the crown if possible and avoid chewing on that side until we can see you.
Broken Denture
Avoid repairing your denture with household glue.
Keep all broken pieces and contact us so we can organise a professional repair.

You should contact us immediately if you experience:
- Severe toothache
- Facial swelling
