Find an Emergency dentist in Harrow, Stafford or Bournemouth

Severe pain, a tooth that's been knocked out or gone seriously loose, swelling that's spreading, or bleeding that won't stop, that's what we'd call a genuine emergency. A chipped tooth with no pain isn't quite the same category, though it's still worth getting looked at quickly. Not sure which camp you're in? Just call us, we'll talk you through it.

Pick it up by the crown, never the root, and try popping it straight back into the socket if you can manage that. Can't get it back in? Keep it in milk, or tucked inside your cheek, not water, and get to a dentist within the hour if you possibly can. Every minute genuinely matters here.

Usually the same day, sometimes within the hour depending on how the day's shaping up across Harrow, Bournemouth and Stafford. Ringing early helps; mornings tend to have more free slots, and we'll work you in around whatever's causing the pain.

Ring the practice as soon as pain starts, don't wait for a "better" time. Depending on availability across Harrow, Bournemouth and Stafford, we'll always try to get you seen as quickly as possible, and if we can't fit you in ourselves, we'll point you toward same day care.

Not quite the race against time that a knocked-out tooth is, but don't just leave it either. Hang onto the piece if you still have it, avoid chewing on that side, and get booked in within a day or two. Left too long, the exposed tooth underneath can turn sensitive or start decaying.

Only for the genuinely serious stuff, facial swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, bleeding you can't control, or a jaw you think might be broken. Everything else, pain, a knocked-out tooth, a lost filling, is exactly what we're set up to handle, usually faster than A&E can manage anyway.
