Emergency answers

Emergency dentist FAQs

What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe toothache, facial swelling, trauma (knocked-out or broken teeth), uncontrolled bleeding, or fever with dental pain. If breathing or swallowing is affected, call 999. Otherwise call 01695 318 262 or NHS 111 out of hours.
I’m in severe pain—what should I do right now?
Take over-the-counter pain relief as directed (avoid aspirin if bleeding), use a cold compress, and call us on 01695 318 262. Don’t place aspirin on the gum or tooth—this can burn tissues.
A tooth has been knocked out. Can it be saved?
Handle by the crown, not the root. If clean, gently reinsert and bite on cloth; if not, store in milk or saliva. Call immediately—success is time-critical.
Do you see non-registered patients for emergencies?
Yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments in Ormskirk subject to availability. Call 01695 318 262.
How much does an emergency visit cost?
Emergency Breakdown Assistance (assessment, advice & X-ray): £89 mph. Out of Hours Emergency Breakdown Recovery: £249 mph. We’ll always explain options and costs before treatment.
Will I get treatment at the appointment, or just antibiotics?
Our priority is to diagnose and relieve pain safely—this may include temporary fillings, smoothing sharp edges, draining infection, or prescribing medication where appropriate. We’ll plan any definitive treatment with you.
Lost filling or crown—do I need an emergency?
If there’s pain, sharp edges, or you can’t chew, book an emergency. If it’s comfortable, a prompt routine visit may be fine. Temporary filling kits can help protect the area until we see you.
Do you take X-rays during emergency appointments?
Often yes—small, low-dose digital X-rays help locate the cause quickly. They’re included in the emergency assessment fee when clinically needed.
