What to do — right now

By type of
emergency.

First-aid guidance you can act on before you reach us. Do not delay calling — these steps work alongside, not instead of, professional treatment.

/ Knocked-out tooth

Permanent tooth knocked out

  • Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (not the root).
  • Gently rinse with milk or saline if dirty — do not scrub.
  • Try to reinsert into the socket. If not possible, store in milk or saliva.
  • Get to us within 30–60 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
/ Severe pain

Severe toothache

  • Rinse with warm salt water.
  • Use dental floss to remove any food trapped between teeth.
  • Take a painkiller (paracetamol or ibuprofen) as needed.
  • Do not apply aspirin directly to the gum — it can burn the tissue.
  • Call us — sudden severe pain usually needs same-day attention.
/ Swelling

Facial swelling or pus

  • Swelling of the face or jaw indicates an active infection.
  • Apply a cold compress on the outside of the cheek.
  • Do not heat the area — heat spreads infection.
  • Call us immediately; do not wait until the next morning.
/ Broken tooth

Chipped or broken tooth

  • Save any pieces of the broken tooth you can find.
  • Rinse mouth with warm water; rinse pieces too.
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • Cover sharp edges with sugar-free gum to protect cheek/tongue until you arrive.
/ Lost crown / filling

Lost crown or filling

  • Keep the crown safely — sometimes it can be re-cemented.
  • Avoid chewing on the exposed tooth.
  • Book an appointment within 1–2 days.
/ Bleeding

Bleeding after extraction

  • Bite firmly on a clean gauze pack for 30–45 minutes.
  • Avoid spitting, rinsing or smoking — these can dislodge the clot.
  • If bleeding continues beyond 2 hours, contact us.
  • See the post-op care guide for full instructions.

What counts as a dental emergency?

  • Knocked-out permanent tooth
  • Severe, uncontrolled tooth pain
  • Significant facial swelling or pus
  • Broken tooth with exposed pulp (nerve visible or extreme sensitivity)
  • Uncontrolled bleeding after a dental procedure
  • Trauma to the face or jaw

When to go to a hospital instead

Some emergencies need a hospital, not a dental clinic — call an ambulance or go directly to the nearest emergency room for:

  • Severe facial trauma, suspected jaw fracture
  • Swelling that affects breathing or swallowing
  • Uncontrolled bleeding from a head/facial injury
