Emergency Dental Care

Same-day relief for severe pain, swelling or a knocked-out tooth

You may need this if…

  • Severe toothache that painkillers are not controlling
  • Swelling of the gum, cheek or face
  • A tooth knocked out or pushed out of position
  • A tooth broken after an accident
  • Bleeding that will not stop after an extraction
  • A crown or filling that has come out

Dental emergencies do not wait for a convenient appointment. If you are in severe pain, if your face is swelling, or if a tooth has been knocked out, call the clinic on the number at the top of this page and we will fit you in the same day wherever we possibly can.

What counts as a dental emergency

  • Severe, unrelenting toothache — usually an infected nerve; needs the pressure released, not just painkillers.
  • Facial or gum swelling — an abscess. Swelling that is spreading, or that affects swallowing or breathing, is urgent; go to a hospital if you cannot reach us.
  • A knocked-out permanent tooth — this is the one genuine race against the clock. Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root, rinse it gently in milk or saline if it is dirty, put it back in the socket if you can, and get to us within the hour. Store it in milk if you cannot reinsert it. Never scrub it and never let it dry out.
  • A broken or cracked tooth — bring any pieces with you.
  • Bleeding that will not stop after an extraction — bite firmly on clean gauze for 20 minutes without checking, and call us.
  • A lost crown or filling — keep it, do not chew on that side, and come in.

Before you reach the clinic

Rinse with warm salt water. Take the painkiller you normally tolerate, with food. Do not place aspirin directly against the gum — it burns the tissue. Do not apply heat to a swollen face; a cold compress outside the cheek is safer.

Emergency Dental Care — common questions

Hold it by the crown, never the root. If it is dirty rinse it briefly in milk or saline, then put it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot, keep it in milk and reach us within the hour. Do not let it dry and do not scrub it.
