What counts as a dental emergency

Severe or persistent toothache, facial swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, bleeding that will not stop, or an abscess. If you are unsure, call us. If we cannot help over the phone we will get you in.

For a knocked-out adult tooth, time matters: hold it by the crown, not the root, rinse briefly in milk, and either place it back in the socket or keep it in milk and come straight to us.

What happens at an emergency appointment

The priority is to diagnose the cause and stop the pain. That might mean a temporary filling, draining an infection, prescribing antibiotics, re-cementing a crown or starting root canal treatment. You will always be told the cost of any treatment before it is done, and the emergency fee covers the examination and any x-rays.
