When you experience dental discomfort or have sustained a dental injury, all you want is someone to help. After all, pain is a response that tells the body that something is wrong.
If you have a dental emergency please telephone us on
01784 454 899.
We endeavour to see patients with a dental problem on the same day and we’ll provide quick and convenient appointments to deal with your emergency. Our initial emergency fee is £183, which covers the immediate care required to alleviate pain, such as a simple extraction or a minor filling.
If further extensive treatments such as a crown or root canal are necessary, we will not complete these during the initial emergency appointment due to time constraints. However, should you require any subsequent treatments, we will credit the £183 initial emergency fee towards the total cost of these procedures.
If you have a dental emergency outside of our practice opening hours, please listen to the recorded message for the emergency dentist’s contact number.
Please phone the practice as soon as possible for details on how to contact one of our on-call dentists.
Thorpe Lea Dental offers the most appropriate advice and care from clinicians that you know and trust. Our friendly dentists will relieve your discomfort as soon as they can. We’ll perform diagnostic tests such as X-rays to determine the exact cause and source of the pain, plus recommend appropriate dental treatment.
Think you are having a dental emergency? Unsure what action to take? If so, ask yourself the following questions:
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you should contact us immediately.
Dental emergencies include severe toothaches, chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, facial swelling, and dental injuries. If you’re unsure, contact us, and we’ll advise you on the best course of action.
If a tooth is knocked out, handle it by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket if possible. If not, store it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately for urgent care.
