What is considered a dental emergency?

At Stunning Smile Clinic, we consider a dental emergency to be any oral health issue that requires immediate attention to alleviate pain or prevent further damage.

Some common dental emergencies include:

1. Toothache: A toothache is usually a sign of an underlying dental issue, such as a cavity, infected tooth, or impacted wisdom tooth. If you are experiencing a severe toothache that is not relieved by over-the-counter pain medication, it is important to seek emergency dental care.
2. Broken or chipped tooth: A broken or chipped tooth can be caused by trauma to the mouth or teeth, such as falling or biting down on hard food or objects. If you have a broken or chipped tooth, it is important to seek emergency dental care to prevent further damage and repair the tooth.
3. Knocked out tooth: If a tooth is completely knocked out of the mouth, it is considered a dental emergency. If possible, try to find the tooth and gently rinse it off with water. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part) and bring it with you to the dental clinic as soon as possible. There is a chance that the tooth can be reinserted if it is treated within an hour of being knocked out.
4. Abscess: An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms in the mouth due to an infection. Abscesses can be extremely painful and can cause swelling in the mouth or face. If you think you may have an abscess, it is important to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible.
5. Mouth injury or bleeding: Any injury to the mouth or teeth that results in bleeding should be treated as a dental emergency. If you have an injury to the mouth or teeth, apply gentle pressure to the affected area with a clean cloth and seek emergency dental care.

How to handle a dental emergency

 

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, it is important to stay calm and seek help as soon as possible.

Here are some steps to take in the case of a dental emergency:

1. Call our emergency dental hotline: The first step in handling a dental emergency is to call us at 020 8840 4472. Our team will provide you with instructions on what to do next and schedule an appointment for you as soon as possible.
2. Follow any instructions provided by our team: Our team will provide you with specific instructions on how to handle your dental emergency until you are able to come into the clinic. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to minimize any further damage or discomfort.
3. If bleeding, apply gentle pressure to the affected area with a clean cloth: If you are experiencing bleeding in the mouth or face, apply gentle pressure to the affected area with a clean cloth. Avoid swallowing any blood, as it can make you feel nauseous.
4. If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown (the top part) and rinse it off gently with water: If a tooth has been completely knocked out of the mouth, try to find the tooth and rinse it off gently with water. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part) and avoid touching the root (the bottom part). Bring the tooth with you to the dental clinic as soon as possible. There is a chance that the tooth can be reinserted if it is treated within an hour of being knocked out.
5. If a tooth is broken, try to find any broken pieces and bring them with you to the appointment: If you have a broken or chipped tooth, try to find any broken pieces and bring them with you to the dental clinic. This will help the dentist determine the best course of treatment.
6. If there is swelling, apply a cold compress to the affected area: If you are experiencing swelling in the mouth or face, apply a cold compress to the affected area. This can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

It is important to remember that a dental emergency should not be ignored. The longer you wait to seek treatment, the more severe the issue may become and the more difficult it may be to repair. If you are experiencing a dental emergency, do not hesitate to call our emergency dental hotline for help.

 

 

Our emergency dental services

 

At Stunning Smile Clinic, we offer a range of emergency dental services to help alleviate your pain and get your oral health back on track as quickly as possible. Our experienced team of dentists and dental professionals are available 7 days a week, with extended hours on weekdays, to provide the care you need when you need it most.

 

1. Pain management: If you are experiencing severe toothache or mouth pain, our team can provide pain management to help alleviate your discomfort. We offer a variety of pain management options, including over-the-counter pain medication and prescription medication, to help you feel more comfortable.
2. Tooth extractions: If a tooth is damaged beyond repair or is causing discomfort, it may need to be extracted. Our team is experienced in performing tooth extractions and can do so in a way that minimizes discomfort.
3. Root canals: If the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or damaged, a root canal may be necessary. A root canal is a procedure that involves removing the infected or damaged tissue from inside the tooth and filling the inside of the tooth with a special material. Root canals can help save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
4. Dental crowns and bridges: If you have a broken or damaged tooth, a dental crown or bridge may be necessary to repair it. A dental crown is a cap that is placed over the top of a damaged tooth to protect it and restore its function. A dental bridge is a structure that is used to replace one or more missing teeth.
5. Dental fillings: If you have a cavity, our team can place a filling to help restore the tooth and prevent further decay. We offer a variety of filling materials, including composite (tooth-coloured) fillings, to match the colour of your teeth.
6. Availability: Stunning Smile Clinic offers emergency dental services 6 days a week, with extended hours on weekdays. We understand that dental emergencies can happen at any time, which is why we are always here to help.
