In pain? Call us now.
We keep time aside for urgent cases and will do our best to see you the same day. We'll relieve your pain and explain your options clearly before any treatment.
Go to hospital immediately if you have heavy bleeding that won't stop, swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, swelling spreading to your eye or neck, or a serious injury to your face or jaw.
What to do until you see us
Toothache
Rinse with warm salt water and gently floss to remove trapped food. Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the pack. Never place aspirin directly on the gum.
Knocked-out adult tooth
Hold it by the crown (the white part), not the root. Rinse briefly if dirty and, if you can, push it back into its socket. Otherwise keep it in milk. See us within an hour if possible.
Chipped or broken tooth
Save any pieces and rinse your mouth with warm water. Use a cold compress on your cheek to reduce swelling, and call us for an appointment.
Swelling or abscess
Rinse with warm salt water and hold a cold compress to the outside of your face. Don't apply heat. Call us promptly, since infections need treatment.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the crown safe and bring it with you. Avoid chewing on that side. Sugar-free gum or dental cement from a pharmacy can protect the tooth temporarily.
Bleeding after an extraction
Bite firmly on a clean, damp gauze pad for 30 minutes. Don't rinse or spit forcefully. If bleeding continues, call us.
Dental emergency? Don't wait.
Call as early in the day as you can so we can fit you in. We're open Monday to Friday 08:00 – 17:00 and Saturday 08:00 – 13:00.
