Dental emergencies are never convenient—and when you’re in pain, you need fast, reliable help. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or swelling in your jaw, knowing what qualifies as a true dental emergency and how to respond can make all the difference.
If you’re in Guildford and facing a dental crisis, we offer same-day emergency appointments to get you out of pain and on the road to recovery.
🚨 What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?
Here’s a quick guide to what typically counts as a dental emergency:
- Severe Toothache
If you’re experiencing sharp, persistent, or throbbing pain, it could be a sign of an infection or abscess—conditions that can worsen without immediate treatment.
- Chipped, Cracked, or Broken Teeth
A minor chip might not be urgent, but if the damage is deep or painful, especially if the nerve is exposed, it’s time to call us immediately.
- Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical. A tooth that’s been knocked out may be saved if treated within the first hour. Place it in milk or gently back in the socket and contact us straight away.
- Swelling of the Face or Jaw
This could be a sign of a serious infection or abscess, and it often needs urgent intervention to prevent complications.
- Bleeding That Won’t Stop
Ongoing bleeding after trauma or dental surgery needs prompt care to prevent excessive blood loss and promote proper healing.
- Lost Crown or Filling
While this isn’t always an emergency, if it causes sharp pain or leaves the tooth vulnerable, it’s best to seek same-day care.
