What to do in an Emergency

Accidents do happen, whether it is a fractured tooth, crown or dentures. Or maybe you are suffering from toothache?

We are here to help and will always endeavour to help you as soon as we can. We have designated emergency appointments every day at set times to provide emergency dental care when needed.

For dental emergencies outside of our opening hours please telephone the bay dental helpline on 0300 1234 010. Denplan members who are away from the practice area at the time of their dental emergency can also contact the Denplan Dental Emergency Helpline on 0800 844 999.

While you are waiting for an appointment, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, to ease the pain.

Ibuprofen is not recommended for people who have, or have had, problems with their stomach, such as ulcers, liver problems or kidney problems. It may also be unsuitable for people who have asthma.

Try to avoid eating very hot or very cold foods as they can worsen the pain.
