What makes a dentist appointment an emergency?

A dental emergency is any situation that requires urgent dental care to stop severe pain, bleeding, or prevent further damage. This often includes issues like intense toothache, infections, abscesses, or trauma such as a knocked-out or broken tooth. If you’re in pain or have sudden swelling, it’s important to see an emergency dentist as soon as possible to avoid complications.

FAQs

When do I need an emergency dentist appointment?

Some common reasons for contacting an emergency dentist include the following:

  • Toothache that seems to be worsening.
  • Your dentures have broken/teeth have debonded on your dentures.
  • You have a dental infection.
  • Wisdom tooth pain.
  • A crown has debonded or broken.
  • A tooth has been knocked loose or come out.
  • Swelling of the jaw.

Will an emergency dentist extract a tooth?

At Knighton Dental Practice, our priority is to save your tooth whenever possible.
During your visit, our emergency dentists will thoroughly assess your condition and recommend the best treatment to relieve your pain and address the issue.
Tooth extraction is considered a last resort, and we will explore all options to preserve your natural tooth.

Is tooth decay an emergency?

Severe tooth decay can lead to intense pain, infection, and abscesses, which require quick attention.
If you are experiencing significant discomfort or signs of infection, it is important to seek emergency dental care.
Early intervention can prevent further complications and preserve your dental health.

Is an abscess a dental emergency?

A dental abscess is a serious emergency.

An abscess usually starts as a gum infection, tooth infection or cavity.

Symptoms include severe toothache, swelling, fever, and a bad taste in your mouth.

If you suspect you have an abscess, it’s crucial to seek immediate care at Knighton Dental Practice to receive the necessary treatment and prevent further complications.

What happens if I can’t find an emergency NHS dentist?

If you’re unable to find an NHS dentist, especially during a dental emergency, it’s important not to delay treatment. Dental problems like infections, swelling, or severe toothache can quickly worsen without care. At Knighton Dental, we offer affordable private emergency appointments from £36, with same-day availability, even on Saturdays. You don’t need to be registered with us — we welcome all patients in need of urgent dental care when NHS options are unavailable.
