Dental emergencies

Toothache, inflammation or an injury need prompt assessment. At an emergency consultation we identify the cause of the problem and decide on the right treatment to ease your symptoms and prevent complications. Call us on 0772 022 100 and we will try to see you the same day.

At the first visit we examine the affected area and your symptoms. We act to control the pain, treat the infection or stabilise the tooth, and deal with the immediate cause: we treat the inflamed nerve, drain the abscess, temporarily rebuild the broken tooth or re-cement the crown. The laser helps us sterilise the infected area and work with less anaesthesia.

Once the pain has eased, we set out the stages needed to solve the problem completely. At the end you receive the advice you need and, if necessary, medication.

Until you get to us: do not put aspirin on the gum, do not hold warm compresses on your cheek, and an ordinary anti-inflammatory painkiller, taken as directed on the leaflet, can ease the pain.
