Advice for common dental emergencies in Shepherds Bush

Dental Emergency Askew Dental Shepherds Bush

A knocked-out-tooth

This is perhaps one of the most traumatic forms of dental emergency. It is important to contact the emergency dentist as soon as you can because this emergency is time sensitive in terms of being able to save the tooth.

If you have the knocked-out tooth, you should carefully touch it only by the crown and never by the roots. Do not wash or over-handle the tooth. Keep it in your mouth until you get to the emergency dentist or place it in a cup of cold milk and bring it with you.

Dental abscess

A dental abscess means that you have an infection in your tooth which can cause pain, swelling, inflammation and pus in your tooth, gum or jaw. This is serious and you should book to see the emergency dentist as soon as you can. Take paracetamol for the pain and drink fluids to stay hydrated. The emergency dentist will assess your tooth and decide on the best course of action which may mean antibiotics or root canal treatment.

Toothache

Persistent toothache is painful and upsetting. Take paracetamol whilst you wait to see the emergency dentist. Avoid eating or drinking anything hot or cold. Try rinsing your mouth in warm salty water to help ease the pain.

What happens at an emergency dental appointment?

Depending on the nature of the dental emergency, our number one priority is to get you out of pain. This may require an urgent procedure on the day and then we will likely make you a follow up appointment to discuss definitive options for the tooth or teeth in question.

If you have a broken tooth or a lost filling or crown, we will do our best to repair this on the day if possible but in some cases, a temporary treatment will be required before booking you a follow up appointment for more definitive treatment.

FAQs

Can anyone have dental IV sedation?

Most people are suitable for dental IV sedation. We will check your medical history at your consultation and we may not recommend IV sedation if you have pre-existing health conditions, if you are older or if you are obese.

Which types of dental treatment can I have done with IV sedation?

Most dental procedures can be performed using IV dental sedation. We commonly use sedation for treatments such as extractions, crowns, fillings, root canal therapy and dental implants.

How do I prepare for dental sedation?

You must not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before your appointment. You should also not smoke for at least twelve hours before the sedation. You should remove contact lenses, jewellery, dentures and nail varnish before having dental sedation. Your dentist will go through all of this with you at your consultation.
