Emergency Dentist, Immediate Dental Help When You Need It Most
Gentle Dental offers urgent dental treatment with a focus on fast pain relief, stabilisation, and clear next steps. Same-day appointments help you get care when waiting is not an option.
When To See An Emergency Dentist
You should see an emergency dentist when dental pain or damage cannot be ignored. Delaying care often leads to increased pain, infection, and more complex treatment.
An emergency dentist can help if you are experiencing:
Severe Toothache
Persistent or intense tooth pain often signals infection or nerve damage. An emergency dentist can provide fast relief from dental pain and prevent the issue from worsening.
Broken or Cracked Tooth
A broken or cracked tooth can expose nerves and lead to infection. Immediate assessment helps protect the tooth and reduce further damage.
Knocked-Out Tooth
A knocked-out tooth is time-sensitive. Seeing an emergency dentist quickly improves the chance of saving the tooth and restoring function.
Dental Abscess or Swelling
Facial swelling or a dental abscess can indicate serious infection. Urgent dental treatment is needed to relieve pain and prevent the spread.
Lost Filling or Crown
A lost filling or crown leaves the tooth exposed and vulnerable. Prompt care helps prevent pain, decay, and further breakage.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Sudden or worsening wisdom tooth pain can signal infection or impaction. An emergency dentist can relieve discomfort and assess next steps.
Broken Dentures
Broken dentures affect comfort, speech, and eating. Emergency dental help can restore function as quickly as possible.
What To Do Before You See An Emergency Dentist
Taking the right steps before your appointment can help reduce pain and prevent further damage. These actions do not replace urgent dental treatment, but they can make you more comfortable until you are seen by an emergency dentist.
If you are in pain or experiencing swelling:
Rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to help reduce bacteria.
Avoid chewing on the affected side of your mouth.
