What counts as a dental emergency?
Dental emergencies often occur suddenly. If you experience these symptoms, you may require urgent attention:
- Severe or persistent toothache or intense sensitivity
- Swelling around your jaw, face or gums
- Knocked-out, cracked, chipped or broken teeth
- A loose or missing crown or filling
- Bleeding that does not stop
If you experience any of these, contact TSB Dental and Facial Aesthetics as soon as possible so the team can treat you as soon as possible.
What should you do if you experience a dental emergency?
Firstly, you must remain calm. Secondly, here are simple, practical steps you can follow at home before attending your appointment:
- Rinse your mouth gently with warm water
- Use a cold compress on your cheek if swelling is present
- Keep any broken pieces of a tooth
- If a tooth has been knocked out, place it gently in milk
- Avoid placing aspirin directly on your gum or tooth
- Stick to soft foods until your appointment
How quickly will your dental emergency be assessed?
Emergency cases are prioritised. When you call, you will be asked a few short questions about your symptoms. This helps the team understand the urgency of your situation and prepare for your visit.
When should you contact TSB Dental and Facial Aesthetics?
If something feels wrong, it is better to ask. Pain or swelling often indicates that something needs attention. The sooner you reach out, the faster you can receive support.
