Frequently asked questions

How urgently do I need to see a dentist?

For dental emergencies, you should call us as soon as possible. We will then arrange you an urgent appointment. Receiving care quickly enables pain relief and is essential to limiting long-term damage.

What treatment might I need after a dental emergency?

The treatment recommended will depend on the cause of the problem. In some cases, a damaged tooth may be repaired using tooth fillings or protected with a dental crown. If a tooth cannot be saved, replacement options such as dental bridges, dentures, or dental implants may be discussed after the emergency has been managed.

Will I need to follow-up with my general dentist?

Depending upon your emergency, you may need to organise follow-up appointments. This will be with your general dentist and helps to ensure that you are on the correct path to recovery.

What counts as a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies can include severe tooth pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma to a tooth, or signs of infection. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, contact the practice and our team can advise you.
