What to do in a dental emergency
These simple dental care steps can ease pain and protect your tooth while you make your way to us.
Knocked-out tooth
Hold it by the crown, not the root. Gently place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If you cannot, keep it in milk and come to us straight away.
Toothache
Rinse with warm salty water and take over-the-counter painkillers as directed. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods until we see you.
Broken or chipped tooth
Save any pieces, rinse your mouth with warm water, and use a cold compress on the outside of the cheek to reduce swelling.
Swelling or abscess
Do not apply heat. Call us the same day. If swelling spreads towards your eye or throat, or affects breathing or swallowing, go to A&E.
