Dental Trauma
Any trauma resulting in a tooth breaking or falling out is a dental emergency! If your permanent tooth falls out due to an injury, we recommend holding the tooth by the crown (do not touch the root), briefly wash with water and replace it immediately in its original place. The best chance of saving the tooth is by acting within the first 20 minutes. Other tips include storing the tooth in saliva (like in your cheek), or milk. You should see a dental professional within 1-2 hours.

Dental Abscess
Swelling of the jaws/cheeks, with or without pain is an emergency as spreading dental infections have the potential to become life threatening if untreated. If you are additionally experiencing any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or have a very high temperature we recommend going straight to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Bleeding Gums
If your gums are bleeding for no apparent reason, especially if you usually attend for a dental cleaning regularly, it could be a symptom of more serious health conditions. We recommend seeing a dentist  or even your medical GP as soon as possible.

Broken Molar
Unless you are having extreme pain, a broken molar is not a dental emergency, but we will try to get you seen as soon as possible.
