Emergency Dentist

Sometimes problems can arise that require immediate treatment. You can also rest assured in the knowledge that we offer an on-call emergency dentist service for both registered and non-registered patients.

What constitutes a dental emergency?
There are several problems that are considered to be emergencies requiring the patient to see an emergency dentist. These are:

Serious pain
If you are suffering from serious pain, it is crucial to seek qualified dental advice immediately. Significant pain can indicate a dental infection or other problem that will require prompt, emergency treatment from your dentist.

Swelling
Swelling in your mouth or on the face or neck should be examined promptly by your dentist. Often, swelling can be caused by an underlying infection which can lead to serious problems. Other symptoms that may occur alongside swelling include pain, redness, fever and feeling unwell.

Trauma
Should you be involved in an incident which causes an injury to your mouth or teeth, it is important to obtain the opinion of a dentist as soon as possible as some treatment may need to be carried out right away.

If your problem is not listed above but you are still unsure as to whether it is an emergency or not, it is always better to contact us rather than to wait - you could prevent an issue developing into an emergency, or serious long-term effects.
