A dental emergency can be an incredibly stressful experience; we are here to alleviate as much of that stress as we possibly can.

When To Contact Us

And what constitutes a dental emergency

You should contact us as soon as possible for an emergency appointment if you are experiencing any of the following:

Moderate to extreme pain in the gums, or pain localised to a specific tooth/area of the mouth that isn’t at all helped by painkillers such as paracetamol and ibuprofen
Tooth/gum pain severe enough to affect your everyday life i.e. days off work, trouble sleeping
Swelling in the mouth or fevers caused by either an infection in the tooth or gums
Facial trauma that has caused broken teeth

For example, if you have suffered facial trauma and need to be seen as soon as possible, we will do all we can to facilitate that. You will be seen by one of our dentists, he or she will assess the situation, and will then decide and recommend a plan of action or a specific treatment, we will always aim to resolve an issue in the quickest and safest way.

"I cannot give enough stars to this practice. I have always been a nervous patient, but the competence and professionalism of the staff at this practice are outstanding, which has enabled me to relax and not fear to go to the dentist as much as I previously did.
