Emergency Dentistry | Receive The Urgent Care Your Require

Cheltenham Dental Clinic

Greyholme Dental Suite offers a Tooth Crisis Audit that allows us to fully investigate the cause of your pain. We will then give you full and clear guidance of what is required to get you out of pain and what the costs will be. We can help you quickly and effectively!

We understand that for some people, a trip to the dentist can be a cause of anxiety in this current climate, which is why we can offer you a free video triage call or you can send us a photo of your problem using WhatsApp. Just let us know if you would prefer to use this method and we will talk you through this very simple and easy-to-understand process.

Why Emergency Dentistry?

Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, causing pain, discomfort, or even long-term damage if not treated promptly. Emergency dentistry focuses on providing urgent care for issues such as severe toothaches, broken or knocked-out teeth, and dental infections. At Greyholme Dental Suite, we prioritise fast, effective treatment to relieve pain and restore your oral health as quickly as possible.

What Can Emergency Dentistry Help With?

Emergency dentistry addresses a wide range of urgent dental issues, including:

  • Severe toothaches caused by infections or decay
  • Broken or chipped teeth from accidents or injuries
  • Knocked-out teeth, where immediate treatment can help save the tooth
  • Dental abscesses or infections that require urgent attention
  • Lost fillings or crowns that leave teeth vulnerable to further damage
  • Gum injuries or excessive bleeding that need professional care

Seeking prompt treatment can prevent complications, reduce pain, and help preserve your natural teeth.

Is Emergency Dentistry Right for Me?

If you are experiencing sudden dental pain, swelling, bleeding, or damage to your teeth or gums, emergency dentistry is the right solution. Even if you’re unsure whether your issue is an emergency, it’s best to contact Greyholme Dental Suite. Our experienced team will assess your situation and provide guidance on the next steps to take.

What Are the Potential Risks and Complications?

Delaying treatment for a dental emergency can lead to further complications, such as infections spreading to other areas, permanent tooth loss, or prolonged pain. Seeking immediate professional care reduces these risks and ensures a quicker, more effective recovery.

What Should I Do Before My Emergency Appointment?

Before your emergency dental visit, follow these steps to manage pain and prevent further damage:

  • For toothaches: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water and take over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
  • For knocked-out teeth: Keep the tooth moist in milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment.
  • For broken teeth: Rinse your mouth gently and avoid eating on the affected side.
  • For swelling or infections: Apply a cold compress and avoid lying flat to reduce discomfort.

Contact our team at Greyholme Dental Suite as soon as possible for urgent assistance.

What Should I Do After My Emergency Appointment?

After treatment, follow all aftercare instructions provided by our dental team. This may include taking prescribed medications, maintaining good oral hygiene, and avoiding certain foods while your mouth heals. We’ll also schedule any necessary follow-up visits to ensure your recovery is progressing well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a dental emergency?

A dental emergency includes severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, swelling, bleeding, abscesses, or any injury affecting your teeth, gums, or jaw. If you’re unsure whether your situation is urgent, contact Greyholme Dental Suite, and our team will advise you on the best course of action.

What should I do if I knock out a tooth?

If you knock out a tooth, try to handle it by the crown (top) and avoid touching the root. Rinse it gently with water, but do not scrub it. If possible, place it back in the socket or store it in milk or saliva and seek immediate dental care. Acting quickly increases the chances of saving the tooth.

Can I get an emergency appointment on the same day?

At Greyholme Dental Suite, we prioritise dental emergencies and offer same-day appointments whenever possible. If you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, or trauma, contact us immediately so we can provide prompt care and relief.
