What Are Dental Emergencies?

Emergencies

EMERGENCY

URGENCY

ADVICE

Fall or accident causing trauma to teeth and/or face

Very urgent

Hospital if necessary to check any face/head injuries. Contact us ASAP for advice about any dental injuries.

Facial swelling

Very urgent, especially if swelling spreading towards airways

Call us during working hours. A&E if out of hours. Otherwise call us urgently for advice.

Toothache or persistent severe tooth pain.

Urgent

Contact us as soon as we’re open for an emergency appointment. Depending on the cause, we should be able to get you out of pain.

A lump, or an ulcer that isn’t healing after about ten days.

Urgent

Often nothing to worry about but worth investigating quickly, hopefully to put your mind at rest, or to arrange any further investigations.

A chipped or broken tooth, causing pain or discomfort due to sensitivity or a sharp edge

Quite urgent

Contact us for an emergency appointment. We will be able to address the cause of discomfort, by smoothing sharp edges or placing a temporary filling. If out of hours, you can buy a temporary filling from the pharmacy and follow the instructions to place it yourself.

A chipped or broken tooth, not causing any pain or discomfort.

Not urgent

Contact us for an appointment. We’ll often ask you to send us a photo if possible, so we can advise you on the likely treatment options, and book you an appointment long enough to carry out the treatment instead of a short emergency appointment.

Sensitivity from a tooth

Not urgent

Contact us for an appointment to investigate the cause of the sensitivity as soon as possible.

Pain after a tooth extraction

Quite urgent

Call us for advice. Rinse with warm water and salt. We will see you within 24 hours if necessary to check for complications.

Crown, veneer or bridge fall out

Not urgent unless cosmetic concern

Contact us. We will see you as soon as possible, hopefully to re cement the restoration. Otherwise, we will advise you on the best course of action.

What Our Patients' Say

I had my wisdom teeth removed last week and needed to get my stitches out. I was experiencing terrible pain and was worried about a dry socket. While on a business trip in London, I called several dentists, but many told me they weren’t taking new patients or offered appointments far in the future. Dr. Mark and his team at this praxis were amazing. They took my emergency appointment over the phone, and I secured an appointment only an hour later. The price was very reasonable considering the situation. Dr. Mark made sure to sanitize and disinfect the area thoroughly. He also addressed my other concerns, especially regarding some recent dental work I had done, and put my mind at ease. I’ve been on painkillers every day for the past month, but I can confidently say it has been over 24 hours since I last took any ibuprofen! Thank you so much, Dr. Mark and team!

Visiting from the US. Recently had poorly fillings done (stateside) and Modern Dentist figured it out, fixed my teeth, and tested them a bunch of different ways they don’t do in the US. Highly reccomend will be changing dentists when I get home that’s for sure.

Jonathan West

Mark and the team were incredible. I was travelling to London and my molar inlay fell out. Mark's team fitted me in to the surgery the next day, proceeded with a temporary filling enabling me to continue on with my trip as planned. After visiting them, I actually decided to have the tooth repaired in full whilst in London and they organised an appointment for an onlay prep and sped up the lab for me in order to fit the new onlay before I left London. Thankyou to you all for making what could have been a traumatic and stressful experience very seamless, and for doing everything you could to make the procedure happen whilst on holidays. I appreciate you all!

Blair Cooper

I cannot recommend Dr. Mark and his team highly enough! From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was impressed by the modern and impeccably clean environment. It's clear that patient comfort and hygiene are top priorities here. Dr. Mark's exceptional care and dedication truly set him apart. He genuinely cares about his patients and always takes the time to explain the best treatment options in a way that's easy to understand. This personalised approach made me feel confident and well-informed about my dental health. The clinic's state-of-the-art facilities and Dr. Mark's expertise ensure a top-notch experience every visit. If you're looking for a dentist who combines skill, care, and a welcoming atmosphere, Dr. Mark is the best choice!
