Dental emergencies we treat include:

- Knocked-out teeth
- Lost fillings or crowns
- Dental abscess or infection
- Swelling or bleeding
- Gum or jaw pain
- Orthodontic issues (e.g., broken wires or brackets)
Not sure if it’s an emergency? Call us. We’ll talk you through what to do and determine if same-day care is needed.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Tooth knocked out?
Gently rinse it with water (don’t scrub), hold it by the crown, and try to place it back in the socket. If not possible, keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately.
Toothache or swelling?
Rinse your mouth with warm water, apply a cold compress to the cheek, and call us to be seen as soon as possible.
Broken tooth or crown?
Save any pieces, avoid chewing on that side, and bring the pieces to your appointment.
If you’re experiencing signs of infection (such as swelling, fever, or pus), don’t delay — these can spread quickly and require immediate attention.
