Try as we might, sometimes the unexpected takes us by surprise. When this comes in the form of an accident or injury to your teeth, it is important to seek help as soon as possible. This is also true when underlying dental health problems, such as a nagging toothache, suddenly flare up leaving you in pain, swollen and/or bleeding. This is when emergency dentistry comes into play. At Garden View, our emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire can provide you with the care and treatment you need. We aim to see all emergency cases on the very same day you call, so you won’t need to put up with pain or discomfort for any longer than is necessary.

What is a dental emergency?

In general if you are in a lot of dental pain, you likely need an emergency dentist. Here are just a few of the conditions and symptoms that constitute a dental emergency:

• Severe toothache
• Broken or lost crowns
• Chipped or broken teeth
• Partially or completely knocked out teeth
• Facial swelling.

Seeking treatment as soon as possible will help prevent further damage, relieve you of pain and discomfort, and reduce your chances of infection. In the long term, your overall dental health will benefit too.

Your emergency dental appointment

When you come in for treatment by our emergency dentist in Buckinghamshire, you will first receive a thorough examination of your injury. X-rays may be taken to help determine the extent of the damage. Pain relief will then be given, if needed, in the form of local anaesthetic. The injury will be sterilised to prevent infection. Your emergency dentist will then set about restoring the damaged tooth or teeth.

Where possible a permanent solution will be administered. However if more extensive work is needed then a temporary fix will be provided and a follow up appointment scheduled to complete your treatment. This may be the case if your tooth or teeth need to be extracted. Options for reconstructing your missing teeth will be discussed and may include dental implants, bridges or dentures.
