Question 1

What counts as a dental emergency?

Accepted Answer

Severe or persistent tooth pain, swelling of the face or gums, a knocked-out or broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, or a lost filling or crown causing pain all count as dental emergencies that need prompt attention.

Question 2

How quickly can I be seen?

Accepted Answer

We offer same-day appointments if you call before 1pm, Monday to Friday. Call us on 01483 568584 or book online, and we'll get you in as soon as possible.

Question 3

How much does an emergency appointment cost?

Accepted Answer

Our emergency consultation fee is £69. Any further treatment costs are discussed transparently with you before you proceed.

Question 4

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

Accepted Answer

Handle the tooth only by the crown, not the root. Rinse it gently with milk or saline — do not scrub it. Try to reinsert it into the socket, or store it in milk if that isn't possible, and come in straight away. Acting within the first 30 minutes gives the best chance of saving the tooth.

Question 8

What happens during my emergency appointment?

Accepted Answer

We'll carry out an initial assessment and X-ray if needed, explain the diagnosis and your treatment options, provide pain relief, treat the problem on the same day where possible, and arrange any follow-up or referral you need.
