I’m in pain or have an urgent problem

Emergency dental care

If you are in pain or something has broken, call us. Calling is the quickest way to be seen, and we will tell you what to do until your appointment.

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room if you have swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing, bleeding that will not stop, or an injury to your face or jaw.

Consultation $95 · about 45 minutes with a dentist, with a written plan to take home.

Is this you?

Patients often come to us with

  • Toothache that keeps you awake
  • Swelling of the gum or face
  • A broken, chipped or knocked-out tooth
  • A lost filling or crown
  • Bleeding after an extraction
  • Pain around a wisdom tooth

In short

What an emergency appointment is for

An emergency appointment has two aims: to find the cause and to make you comfortable. Your dentist examines the area, takes an X-ray if needed and explains what they find.

If further treatment is needed, it is planned once you are out of pain, and you are told the fee before anything is done.

What treatment may involve

The right treatment depends on the cause, which your dentist will explain.

  • Relief at the same visit

    For example a temporary filling, re-fixing a crown or smoothing a sharp edge.

  • Root canal treatment

    Removes infection from inside a tooth so the tooth can be kept.

    Worth knowing
    Often completed over more than one visit.
  • Extraction

    For a tooth that cannot be restored.

    Worth knowing
    Ways to replace the tooth are discussed with you.
  • Medication

    Pain relief advice, and antibiotics only when there are signs that they are needed.

Suitability

What your dentist checks

To find the cause, your dentist looks at:

Book a consultation
  • Where the pain is and what brings it on
  • The tooth and the surrounding gum, with an X-ray of the area
  • Any signs of infection or swelling
  • Whether the tooth can be restored

Only an examination can confirm what is suitable for you. Your dentist explains the reasons for any recommendation.

Questions

Asked before the first visit

Can I be seen today?

Call as early in the day as you can. We will offer the earliest suitable appointment and advise you on managing the problem until then.

What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?

Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If you can, put it back in its socket; otherwise keep it in milk. Call a dentist straight away, because time matters.

I’m not a patient of the clinic. Can I still come?

Yes. You do not need to be registered with us to book an emergency appointment.

How much does an emergency visit cost?

The emergency appointment has a set fee, shown on this page, which covers the assessment and an X-ray of the area. Any treatment is quoted before it starts.
