A dental emergency can be painful and worrying, and it often happens without warning. At Sonria Dental Clinic, we aim to provide prompt emergency dental appointments for patients with severe toothache, broken or knocked-out teeth, swelling, or damage to existing dental work.
Our team will assess your symptoms, help relieve your discomfort and stabilise the problem. Once the immediate issue has been dealt with, your dentist will discuss the options available to restore your oral health and help prevent the problem from returning.
Emergency treatment is carried out in several clear stages:
1. Contact the Clinic
Call our team as soon as possible and describe your symptoms. We will offer advice on managing the problem at home and arrange the earliest available appointment for you.
2. Assessment and Diagnosis
Your dentist will examine the affected area and may take X-rays to identify the cause of your pain or damage. This helps determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
3. Pain Relief and Stabilisation
The priority is to relieve your discomfort and protect the affected tooth. Depending on your needs, this may involve draining an infection, placing a temporary filling, or smoothing a broken edge.
4. Discussing Your Options
Once the problem is under control, your dentist will explain your treatment options, including any associated costs, so you can make an informed decision about the next steps.
5. Follow-Up Treatment
Some problems need further care, such as root canal treatment, a crown or a replacement tooth. In those cases, a follow-up appointment will be arranged to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
Severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, facial swelling, bleeding that will not stop, or a lost crown or filling causing pain are all considered dental emergencies. If you are unsure, call our team for advice.
We keep appointments available for urgent cases and aim to see emergency patients on the same day wherever possible. Please call early in the day to give us the best opportunity to arrange a suitable time.
Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root, and rinse it gently if it is dirty. Try to place it back in the socket, or keep it in milk, and contact us immediately, as time is important.
Over-the-counter pain relief, taken as directed on the packaging, and a cold compress on the cheek may help ease discomfort. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods until you can be seen by a dentist.
Go to A&E or call 999 straight away if you have any of the following:
No, we welcome new patients for emergency appointments. Our team will ask for a brief medical history so your dentist can provide safe and appropriate care.
The cost depends on the assessment and any treatment required. Your dentist will explain the fees for any recommended treatment before it begins. You can also view our fees page for more information.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the extent of the damage, a broken tooth may be restored with bonding, a filling, a crown or a veneer. Your dentist will advise on the most suitable option after an assessment.
