Dental abscess and severe toothache are among the most common — and most painful — dental emergencies. Left untreated, an abscess can spread and become a serious health risk. We can provide rapid pain relief, drain the infection if needed, and arrange follow-up treatment including root canal therapy to save the tooth where possible.
Accidents happen — whether it’s a fall, a sports injury, or biting on something hard. A broken or cracked tooth needs prompt attention to protect the nerve and prevent further damage. Depending on the severity, treatment may involve smoothing a minor chip, placing a composite repair, fitting a new crown, or — in complex cases — surgical intervention.
A knocked-out tooth is a true dental emergency — the faster you act, the better your chances of saving it. If possible, keep the tooth moist (ideally in milk or held in the cheek) and call us immediately on 01425 277 245. Our team has the surgical expertise to re-implant and splint teeth, giving you the best chance of a successful outcome.
Losing a filling or crown can leave your tooth exposed, sensitive, and vulnerable to further damage. We’ll arrange an urgent appointment to assess the tooth and provide a temporary or permanent replacement, protecting your tooth and relieving any discomfort as quickly as possible.
Swelling around the face, jaw, or neck can indicate a serious dental infection that needs urgent treatment. If you’re experiencing facial swelling — especially if accompanied by difficulty swallowing or breathing — please seek care immediately. Our experienced team can assess and treat dental infections promptly, and will refer you to hospital if the situation requires it.
Wisdom teeth that are partially erupted or impacted can cause intense pain, swelling, and infection. Our team is highly experienced in the surgical removal of difficult and impacted wisdom teeth, including complex cases. We can assess your wisdom teeth, provide pain relief, and arrange surgical removal where required.
