Emergency dental appointments are appointments with a dentist that are scheduled to address urgent dental issues that require immediate attention. We can see you at the practice for an emergency appointment even if you are not registered.
Some common reasons for emergency dental appointments include:
- Severe toothache: A toothache that is causing significant pain and discomfort may require emergency treatment, especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as swelling or fever.
- Broken or chipped tooth: If a tooth is broken or chipped, emergency dental care may be needed to prevent further damage or infection.
- Knocked-out tooth: If a tooth has been completely knocked out, it is important to seek emergency dental care immediately to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
- Loose or missing filling: A loose or missing filling can cause pain and sensitivity, and may require emergency treatment to prevent further damage to the tooth.
- Abscessed tooth: An abscessed tooth is a serious dental emergency that can cause severe pain and swelling, and requires immediate treatment to prevent the spread of infection.
During an emergency dental appointment, the dentist will evaluate the problem and determine the best course of treatment. This may include pain management, antibiotics, temporary repairs, or in some cases, referral to a specialist or a hospital emergency room. The charge for emergency treatment is between £80-200 depending on what treatment is required.
It is important to note that not all dental problems require emergency treatment, and in some cases, a regular dental appointment may be sufficient to address the issue.
