While you're on your way
What to do right now
Toothache
Rinse with warm salty water. Pain relief as directed on the packet. No aspirin or heat on the tooth.
Knocked-out adult tooth
Hold it by the crown, not the root. Put it back in the socket if you can, or keep it in milk. Best chance is within 30 minutes. Never reinsert a baby tooth.
Chipped or broken tooth
Rinse, keep any pieces, and use a cold compress for swelling.
Lost filling or crown
Keep the crown and bring it in — we can often re-cement it. Avoid chewing on that side.
Swelling or abscess
Usually infection — it won't settle on its own. Call us today. If it affects breathing or swallowing, go to hospital.
Bleeding after an extraction
Bite firmly on damp gauze for 20–30 minutes. If it hasn't settled, call us.

Common questions
Emergency dental FAQs
Can I get a same-day emergency appointment?
We set aside time each day for genuine dental emergencies. Call as early as you can, describe your symptoms, and we'll fit you in at the first available opportunity — often the same day.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe or persistent toothache, facial swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, bleeding that won't stop after an extraction, a lost filling or crown causing pain, and dental injuries. If you're unsure, call — we'll advise the best next step.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Handle it by the crown, never the root. Rinse briefly in milk or saline if dirty, place it back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth — or keep it in milk (not water) — and call us straight away. Do not reinsert baby teeth.
