Advice for common dental emergencies in Chelsea

Here are some of the more common dental emergencies that patients from Chelsea need treatment from the emergency dentist for:

A knocked-out tooth

This dental emergency can be very upsetting. Be sure to visit A&E if you have sustained physical injuries to your face or body.

If you have found the knocked-out tooth, pick it up by the crown, not the roots and either keep it in your mouth or in a pot of cold milk whilst you wait to see the emergency dentist.

It is vital that you call the emergency dentist as soon as possible as timing is of the essence in being able to save the knocked-out-tooth.

Loose or lost filling

If you have the filling, bring it with you when you see the emergency dentist. Take paracetamol for any pain and gently swill warm salty water around your mouth to help keep the area clean and free from infection. Avoid consuming anything too hot or too cold and try to chew on the other side of your mouth.

A broken crown

If a dental crown breaks, try rinsing your mouth in warm, salty water to keep the area clean and ease the pain. Take paracetamol if necessary and avoid chewing on this side of your mouth. You should eat soft foods and avoid hot and sugary drinks whilst you wait to see the emergency dentist.

If you have them, take the broken pieces of the dental crown with you to see the emergency dentist. The emergency dentist may be able to repair your existing crown, or you may need a new one.
