A dental emergency can occur at any time. Teeth can chip, crack and fall out, whether due to accidents or tooth decay. Whatever the situation, we are on hand to help you in your dental crisis and bring you swift and thorough treatment to correct your dental problem.

Emergency treatment on the day of your dental accident

If you have suddenly suffered a dental catastrophe, such as a chipped or knocked out tooth, then do not hesitate to call the practice. We will do our very best to ensure that you receive the treatment you need on the day of your emergency, so you needn’t suffer any more worry or pain than is necessary. Our friendly and helpful dentists will assess your problem and find a solution before the situation can become worse.

A quick note on knocked out teeth

If one or more of your teeth have fallen out with the root and crown still attached, then it is advisable to take these steps to improve your chances of tooth rehabilitation.

• Only pick the tooth up by the crown, never the root.
• Leave all material that is attached to the root well alone.
• Either place the tooth within the pouch of your cheek or place it in a container of milk.

Amazing but true, a cleanly knocked out tooth can be fitted back into its socket if the correct steps are taken after the accident and you get to a dentist as quickly as possible.
