How We Treat Dental Emergencies

Many people are unsure about the steps to take before, during, and after they visit an emergency dentist, so let’s take a look…

• Book an appointment – Call our dentist to explain your situation. We’ll need to know what has happened and what symptoms you’re experiencing. We can also provide first-aid advice over the phone if required. Answering these questions helps us decide if you need urgent same-day care, in which case we’ll check our schedule to see how quickly we can fit you in. Otherwise, we’ll set up an appointment, normally the next day.
• Oral examination – The cause of your emergency and how far the damage has spread may not be immediately obvious, so our emergency dentist may need to perform a full examination of your mouth, teeth and gums and potentially take an X-ray.
• Diagnosis – Once we’ve worked out the cause of the pain, we’ll recommend the appropriate course of action. We’ll explain what treatment(s) are required, how long it’s likely to take, and what the overall cost will be.
• Treating your condition – We’ll take whatever steps are required to get your oral health back on track. This may mean getting you out of pain first and treating the problem the next day, or providing temporary fixings until we can fit restoration teeth or dentures. Either way, by the time you leave your emergency appointment, we’ll ensure you’re comfortable and happy.

What Defines A Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any kind of oral discomfort that can’t be eased with over-the-counter painkillers, facial swelling that is worsening, or uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth. It may also include broken appliances like bridges or dentures that may impact oral function.

Common problems our emergency dentist in Earls Court can assist with include:

• Severe toothache
• Broken teeth
• Lost fillings
• Severe sensitivity
• Infection and swelling, and
• Broken appliances (dentures)

If you’re in any doubt, give our friendly team a call and we’ll assess the situation over the phone. From here, our experienced dentist will make a judgement call on whether we need to see you right away, or the next day.
