Frequently Asked Questions

: It’s important to see a dentist as soon as you can if you have a toothache. You can take painkillers and use an analgesic gel, which can numb the area for a while. You can also rinse your mouth out with warm, salty water. This can help rinse your mouth of the bacteria that could be causing you issues. An ice pack can be applied to the cheek to help reduce swelling. Many people swear by clove oil. Just add a couple of drops on a cotton bud and apply to the affected area. Drinking warm peppermint tea can also soothe your mouth overall.
: If you need to book an emergency appointment, please call us on 01223 240061 as soon as possible. Our friendly team will book you the closest and most convenient appointment time and offer personalised tips and advice to help while you wait.
: If you have a knocked-out tooth, it is much more likely to be saved if you see a dentist quickly. Call us for advice as soon as possible. In the meantime, hold the tooth carefully and avoid touching the roots – these are very delicate. Rinse gently with water to remove excess skin. If you can, try to put the tooth back and make sure it is the right way around. Don’t force it in, as this could damage the tooth and the gum.
: Yes, absolutely. Dealing with a broken denture or crown can be uncomfortable and cause significant worry, but we are here to help address this kind of emergency. Please contact us immediately, and we will do our best to offer a prompt appointment to assess the damage. Depending on the issue, we can often repair your existing denture or crown temporarily or permanently, or take the necessary steps to prepare a high-quality replacement to restore the function and appearance of your smile as quickly as possible.
: Our primary goal during any emergency dental appointment is to ensure you are comfortable and free from pain. If you are experiencing pain, we will prioritise relieving it immediately. Modern dentistry offers highly effective local anaesthetics and pain management techniques, so you can expect the area being treated to be completely numb before any work begins. We will take every measure to ensure your treatment is as smooth and pain-free as possible, allowing us to focus on treating the underlying issue causing your emergency.
