What Is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency is any situation involving your teeth, gums, or mouth that requires immediate attention. Left untreated, dental emergencies can worsen quickly, leading to severe pain, infection, or even permanent damage.
Common signs of a dental emergency include:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- A knocked-out or loose tooth
- Chipped, broken, or cracked teeth
- Facial swelling, abscesses, or pus
- Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth or gums
- Lost fillings, crowns, or dental appliances
- Pain or difficulty when biting, chewing, or opening the mouth
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait—call our emergency dentist in Ruislip immediately.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Tooth
- Gently rinse the tooth (avoid touching the root).
- Try to place it back in the socket, or store it in milk or saliva.
- Get to the dentist within 1 hour—this gives the best chance of saving the tooth.
Severe Toothache
- Rinse your mouth with warm water.
- Use a cold compress and take pain relief if needed.
- Avoid applying aspirin directly to the gum.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
- Rinse your mouth and save any broken fragments.
- Apply gauze if bleeding and a cold compress to reduce swelling.
