    What counts as a dental emergency?

    • Severe or persistent toothache that isn't relieved by painkillers
    • A knocked-out adult tooth
    • A broken, chipped or cracked tooth causing pain
    • A lost crown, filling or bridge
    • Significant facial swelling or a dental abscess
    • Bleeding that won't stop after an extraction
    • Trauma to the mouth, teeth or jaw

    What to do right now

    Knocked-out adult tooth

    Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), gently rinse with milk or saline if dirty, and try to put it back in the socket. If you can't, keep it in milk and call us immediately — speed makes a big difference.

    Severe toothache

    Take paracetamol or ibuprofen as directed on the packet, rinse with warm salty water, and avoid very hot, cold or sweet foods. Call us as soon as you can.

    Facial swelling

    Swelling from a dental infection can become serious. If swelling is spreading, you can't open your mouth, you're struggling to swallow or breathe, or you feel generally unwell — go straight to A&E or call 999.

    Lost filling or crown

    Keep the area clean, avoid chewing on that side, and book in with us as soon as possible. Temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can help in the meantime.

    Out of hours

    If you have a dental emergency when we're closed, call NHS 24 on 111. They'll assess you and direct you to the nearest out-of-hours dental service. For life-threatening emergencies — uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing or major facial trauma — call 999 or go to A&E.

    Don't wait. Most dental problems get worse — and harder to treat — the longer they're left. If something doesn't feel right, give us a call. It's always better to check.
