In pain, swollen, or broken a tooth? We understand how miserable dental pain is, and we keep time aside for urgent appointments. Call us as early in the day as you can and we’ll do our very best to see you the same day.
We see both existing and new patients from Chalfont St Peter, Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Giles, Little Chalfont, Seer Green, Beaconsfield, Amersham and the surrounding area. An emergency appointment costs £104 and includes small X-rays, simple smoothing, a temporary filling or an antibiotic prescription if needed.
If you're not sure, call us. It's always better to check than to wait for a small problem to become a bigger one.
Throbbing pain that keeps you awake or isn't controlled by painkillers is often a sign of infection or an inflamed nerve.
A swollen face or gum, a gum boil, or a bad taste can mean an infection that needs treating promptly.
Time matters. See the first-aid steps below and call us straight away. The sooner it's seen, the better the chance of saving it.
From a small chip to a tooth that has split, especially if it's sharp, sensitive or painful.
Keep the crown if you have it. We can often re-cement it or protect the tooth until it can be properly repaired.
Painful, swollen gum around a wisdom tooth (pericoronitis) is very common. Find out more about wisdom teeth removal.
Bleeding that won't settle after a tooth has been taken out, even with firm pressure.
Knocks from sport or falls that damage teeth, lips or gums, in adults or children.
A loose veneer, a broken brace wire or a cracked denture that's stopping you eating or speaking comfortably.
Simple first aid that can ease pain and make treatment more successful.
Pick it up by the crown (the white part), not the root. If it's dirty, rinse it briefly in milk. If you can, push it gently back into its socket and bite on a clean cloth. If not, keep it in milk or inside your cheek and come straight in. Don't put a baby tooth back in.
Take paracetamol or ibuprofen as directed on the packet, if they're suitable for you. Don't put aspirin on the gum, as it can burn. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary food and drinks.
Rinse your mouth with warm water and keep any pieces. A cold compress on your cheek helps with swelling. Never use household glue to stick a crown back on. A temporary dental cement from a pharmacy can help until you see us.
Roll up some clean gauze or a cotton handkerchief, place it over the socket and bite down firmly for 20 minutes without checking. Sit upright and avoid rinsing. If it doesn't stop, call us.
Call from 8:30am for the best chance of a same-day appointment.
