At The Dentist, Leeds, we understand that toothaches and dental emergencies can arise unexpectedly, causing significant discomfort and disruption to your daily life. We are committed to providing emergency dental appointments to both our current patients and those seeking immediate care for the first time.
Toothaches can be intensely painful, but rest assured, our team at The Dentist is dedicated to alleviating your pain swiftly and effectively.
Recognising the urgency, we strive to accommodate dental emergencies on the same day, believing that prompt care is essential in treating toothaches and other dental emergencies.
What Emergency Dental Treatments Might You Need?
During your visit, our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment to diagnose the issue and take immediate steps to relieve your pain. Subsequent treatments may be recommended to address the underlying dental issues permanently.
Common treatments following an emergency visit include:
- Root Canal Treatment
- Periodontal Therapy
- Fillings or Crowns
In certain situations, saving the tooth might not be viable, and extraction could be the recommended course of action. If extraction is necessary, don’t worry; at The Dentist, we offer various options for replacing missing teeth and will guide you toward the best solution for your needs.
Understanding the Causes of Toothache
Toothaches and dental emergencies can stem from various issues, such as:
- Tooth Decay
- Damaged or Loose Fillings
- Gum Disease
- Abscesses
- Wisdom Tooth Complications
- Infections
Should you suffer from toothache, contact us promptly for an emergency appointment. To manage the pain until your visit, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are effective options, provided you have no medical contraindications and adhere to the dosage instructions.
Dealing with Facial Swelling
Facial swelling may indicate an abscess or infection. It’s crucial to contact us immediately for an assessment and diagnosis to prevent the infection from spreading.
Broken Denture Assistance
If your denture breaks, ensure it remains clean and safe, and bring it to your emergency appointment. Please refrain from attempting repairs yourself, as this could complicate professional repairs. Typically, dentures can be repaired by the next day, pending an assessment by our dentists.
Lost Dental Crown
If you lose a dental crown, keep it clean and secure, and schedule an emergency dental assessment with us. We’ll attempt to re-cement the crown where possible or provide alternative recommendations for tooth replacement if necessary.
