What is the advice for common dental emergencies?

Nagging toothache

A constant toothache can be unbearable. Call us to book an emergency dental appointment. In the meantime, you can take paracetamol for the pain and try rinsing your mouth in salty water to help ease your toothache.

A knocked-out tooth

If you can find the knocked-out tooth, please save it either by keeping it in your mouth or putting it into a cup of cold milk to prevent the tooth from drying out. Don’t touch the knocked-out tooth by the roots, only handle the crown. It is essential that you call us as quickly as possible as saving a knocked-out tooth is time critical.

A dental abscess

A bacterial infection causes a dental abscess which results in a build up of pus in the tooth, gum or jaw. If it spreads to other parts of the body, it can be potentially dangerous. You must call us as soon as you can for a dental emergency appointment. Take paracetamol for the pain and swill your mouth in salty water to ease any discomfort or swelling.
