Emergency Dental Advice

1. Fractured Tooth

Fractured teeth can usually be restored so there is no need to panic. If the tooth is painful, avoid hot or cold foods and avoid eating or biting on that side i.e. relieve the tooth from extreme temperatures and pressure. Painkillers such as Ibuprofen or Paracetamol may help.

2. Lost Crown

Keep your crown safe so it can be re-cemented as soon as possible to avoid further damage and the need for root canal treatment.

3. Knocked out tooth

Your tooth will need to be re-implanted into it’s socket immediately. Try not to handle tooth root too much to protect the fibres round the root surface. If possible, place tooth back into the socket and contact us ASAP for an emergency appointment.

If the above step cannot be done, place the tooth in a container and cover with a small amount of whole milk or saliva or on one side of your mouth between your teeth and cheeks. DO NOT place tooth in water.
