Common Dental Emergencies

Severe toothache that is not managed by over-the-counter painkillers. A knocked-out tooth - keep it moist in milk or saliva and contact a dentist immediately, as it may be possible to re-implant within the first hour. A broken, cracked, or chipped tooth, particularly if it is causing pain or has sharp edges. A lost filling or crown leaving the tooth exposed or sensitive. A dental abscess causing swelling, throbbing pain, or a bad taste in the mouth. Bleeding from the mouth that does not stop after applying pressure for 10 minutes.

If you are unsure whether your situation counts as an emergency, call NHS 111 for guidance.
