Dental pain or swelling?
If you are in pain or have swelling, call Thames Street Dental so the team can advise you on the next available appointment.
For related urgent problems, see our pages on toothache, tooth pain, tooth infection and broken teeth.

Severe or persistent toothache can have several causes, including decay, a damaged tooth or dental infection. If dental pain is affecting your sleep or normal daily activities, contact us for an urgent assessment.

If you have broken or damaged a tooth, contact us so that we can assess the damage and advise on the appropriate treatment. Depending on the tooth and extent of the damage, treatment may include bonding, a filling, crown or other restorative treatment.

A knocked-out adult tooth needs urgent dental attention. Contact a dentist as soon as possible. Hold the tooth by the crown rather than the root. If it cannot be gently replaced in the socket, keep it in milk and bring it with you. Do not try to reinsert a baby tooth.

A lost or broken filling or crown can leave a tooth uncomfortable, sensitive or vulnerable to further damage. Contact us for advice and to arrange an appointment. We can assess the tooth and discuss whether a temporary or permanent repair is appropriate.

A dental abscess or suspected dental infection needs prompt assessment and will not normally resolve without dental treatment. Symptoms can include severe toothache, swelling, a bad taste in the mouth, tenderness or difficulty chewing. Contact us as soon as possible if you think you may have a dental infection.

If you have injured your teeth or mouth following a fall, accident or sporting injury, contact us for advice. Teeth that are badly broken, loose or knocked out may need urgent dental treatment.
Emergency Dental Safety Advice
Call 999 or go to A&E if you have a serious injury to your face or jaw, heavy bleeding from your mouth that will not stop, or severe swelling of your mouth, lips, throat or neck that is affecting your breathing.
If you need urgent dental care when our practice is closed, contact NHS 111 for advice.
For most dental problems – including toothache, a broken filling or crown, dental abscess or a damaged tooth – a dentist rather than a GP is usually the appropriate first point of contact.
Knowing when to seek emergency dental care is essential for protecting your oral health and avoiding further complications. In general, you should visit your emergency dentist if you are experiencing severe pain or bleeding in your mouth, have a broken tooth or filling, or need immediate treatment due to an infection. Additionally, if you have a lost crown or bridge, a cracked tooth, swelling in the face or neck area, or any other dental injury that requires urgent attention, it’s important to get help as soon as possible.
If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, it’s best to call a dentist and describe the symptoms you are experiencing. They can then advise you on the best course of action and provide further guidance about what steps to take next.
Your dentist will first ask about your symptoms and examine the affected tooth or area. An X-ray may be recommended where it is needed to help diagnose the problem.
The immediate priority is to identify the cause of the problem and decide what treatment is appropriate. Depending on the diagnosis, it may be possible to provide treatment during the emergency visit, or you may need a further appointment for definitive treatment such as a filling, root canal treatment, crown or extraction.
We will explain the findings, available treatment options and relevant fees before proceeding.
Our emergency appointment fee is from £70, including the assessment and one small X-ray where required. Treatment is charged separately.

Emergency dental care is a form of medical treatment that is provided when a patient experiences an unexpected or severe dental issue that requires immediate attention. This type of dental care typically focuses on relieving pain and restoring the patient’s oral health as quickly as possible. In many cases, emergency dental care can also help to prevent further damage or deterioration of the patient’s teeth and gums. Common examples of circumstances in which emergency dental care may be necessary include broken teeth, lost fillings, abscesses, and impacted wisdom teeth. Emergency dentists are always available to provide urgent assistance for these types of issues. They offer a variety of treatments that range from root canals to crown replacements, depending on the severity and complexity of the problem.
