If you need to see an emergency dentist in Beaconsfield, you can call Garden View Dental straight away to see when we can get you an appointment. We aim to see patients on the day that they call. The earlier you get in touch, the more likely it is we will be able to see you before you need to go through another night with your dental emergency.

One of the most common reasons for someone to need an emergency dentist in Beaconsfield is because of dental pain. This might be due to an accident, a medical condition or the result of long term decay that has finally reached a tipping point and, for example, exposed a nerve. When you visit the emergency dentist in Beaconsfield at Garden View Dental, one of our first priorities will be to alleviate any strong sensations you are experiencing.

What can you do at home?

Even if we see you as quickly as possible, you may still have a small window of time between calling and getting our help. The trouble is that no period feels short when you are waiting to have dental pain addressed. So, what can you do at home to help yourself? A toothache is often deep inside your gums, so it can be hard to get direct relief. These are just a couple of suggestions that can offer temporary relief:

• Salt water rinse – just a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water is enough. It is best for the water to be at room temperature. This is because your tooth will not register extremes of hot and cold as anything but further pain. This works because it can draw fluids out of the affected area. This reduces irritation and pressure;
• Painkillers – you can take over-the-counter analgesics for tooth pain. These days, you can get some strong codeine-based preparations. Always follow the supplier’s directions carefully with these types of medication.

These solutions are not designed to help you avoid a visit to the dentist. They only create the illusion of getting better and, if you already have dental pain, you are likely to have an issue that can only be addressed by a qualified professional.
