Go to a hospital emergency department, not to us, if you have swelling that is closing your eye or spreading down your neck, difficulty swallowing or breathing, a fever with facial swelling, bleeding that will not stop, or a jaw injury from a fall or accident. Those need hospital facilities. Everything else on this page, we can help with.
What we see most
A lost crown, a filling that has fallen out, or a bracket or aligner problem are all worth calling about too, even when they do not hurt. A tooth with no filling in it is a tooth that is quietly getting worse.
What happens when you call
We ask what it feels like, where, since when, and whether there is swelling. That is triage, not admin — it decides whether you need us today, this week, or a hospital.
If you need to be seen today and we have the capacity, you come in. If we do not, we say so rather than book you into something that does not help.
At the visit: examination, a radiograph or a 3D scan where it is needed, and a diagnosis explained to you on screen.
We settle the pain. That may be the definitive treatment in one visit, or it may be the first stage with the repair planned properly afterwards.
You leave knowing what it was, what was done, what it cost, and what happens next.
Why an emergency visit here is not a production line
Pain makes people accept whatever is quickest. That is how a tooth that could have been saved becomes an extraction, and how a crack that needed one onlay becomes a root canal and a crown. We take the same approach in an emergency as we do in a planned appointment: find the actual cause, remove the least tooth structure possible, and tell you the options including the one where we do nothing today.
The same applies to fees. Whatever is done is charged at the published fee, and you are told the number before it happens, not after.
Questions
Do you keep same-day appointments for emergencies?
We hold some capacity in the diary each day for patients in pain, but we are a five-dentist practice, not a walk-in centre, and we will not pretend otherwise. Call and we will tell you honestly what we have. If the soonest we can offer is not soon enough for what you describe, we will say so and point you somewhere that can see you faster.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Pain that stops you sleeping or working, a tooth that has cracked or broken, a lost or loose crown, a filling that has come out, swelling around a tooth, bleeding that follows an extraction, or a knocked-out tooth. A knocked-out adult tooth is the one true race against the clock — see below.
What should I do about a knocked-out adult tooth?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. Do not scrub it. If it is dirty, rinse it briefly in milk or saline, not water. Put it back in the socket if you can and bite gently on a clean cloth; if you cannot, keep it in milk and get to a dentist within the hour. Do not do any of this with a baby tooth — take the child in, but do not reimplant it.
Should I take painkillers before I come?
Yes, take what you would normally take for pain, and tell us what you have taken and when. It does not mask anything we need to see, and there is no reason to sit in pain waiting for an appointment. Do not put aspirin directly on the gum, and do not put clove oil on the tooth — it burns the soft tissue.
Will you just pull the tooth?
Only if it cannot be saved, and not on the first visit unless you are in acute pain and that is the right answer. Our whole approach is to keep as much of your own tooth as possible. An emergency visit is usually about settling the pain and diagnosing the cause properly, then planning the repair.
Is an emergency visit more expensive?
No. The examination fee is the same as any other, and the treatment is charged at the published fee for whatever is actually done. We do not have an emergency surcharge.
