Emergencies

A dental problem that is causing a high fever, facial swelling or which is making you feel very unwell requires urgent attention. Please come and see us straightaway or go to your nearest emergency room. A severe dental infection can affect your general health and needs emergency treatment.

If you knock out a tooth, there is a chance it can be reinserted within the first half an hour to an hour after the accident. Carefully pick up the tooth by its crown and rinse off any visible dirt. Store it in a small container with a little saliva or milk, or try to reinsert the tooth, making sure it faces the right way. Come and see us immediately. If a child knocks out a primary tooth, please don’t try to reinsert it as this could damage the adult tooth underneath.
