Whether you have suffered an injury, been involved in an accident or are experiencing an infection, we understand how distressing a dental emergency can be.
It is our mission to see patients experiencing dental emergencies and to alleviate pain as quickly as possible. We are also happy to help non-registered patients with any dental emergency.
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please contact us as soon as you can on 020 8969 4020 so that we can book you in to see the emergency dentist.
A dental emergency is any issue causing pain, swelling or bleeding in the teeth, mouth or gums.
Common dental emergencies that we see in patients living in Neasden and Park Royal include:
Toothache
A chipped tooth
A knocked-out tooth
A dental abscess
Loose or missing fillings
Painful wisdom teeth
Bleeding from the socket of a recently extracted tooth
It is important that you call us on 020 8969 4020 to see the emergency dentist as soon as you can. The earlier you call, the more likely we are to offer a same-day appointment.
A knocked-out tooth is very traumatic. If you have sustained injuries to your face or body, please visit A&E. A friend or family member should call the emergency dentist as soon as possible — this type of dental emergency is time sensitive.
Only handle the tooth by the crown, never the roots. Do not wash or scrub the tooth. If possible, store it in your mouth or a container of cold milk until you can see the emergency dentist.
A dental abscess is caused by an infection in your tooth. You may feel pain, swelling or notice inflammation. You should book to see the emergency dentist as soon as possible.
While waiting, take paracetamol for pain and rinse your mouth with warm salty water. The emergency dentist will assess the issue, ease the pain and may recommend further treatment such as root canal therapy.
If your dental crown breaks, take paracetamol to manage any pain and rinse your mouth with warm salty water to keep the area clean. Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth and eat soft foods only.
Avoid hot or sugary drinks until you’ve seen the emergency dentist. If possible, bring the broken pieces of the crown with you. The dentist may be able to repair it, or advise on a replacement.
During your emergency dental appointment, our experienced team will take good care of you. We will assess your mouth, teeth and gums thoroughly. X-rays may be used to help us understand the problem better.
Our priority is to relieve your pain quickly. We may use a local anaesthetic or provide medication to make you comfortable.
The emergency treatment provided will depend on your specific issue. We may carry out an urgent procedure the same day, or provide a temporary fix with a follow-up appointment to complete the treatment later.
