Emergency Dental Care
Rapid pain relief, guaranteed same-day assessment slots, and expert emergency care.
Urgent Care Slots
Same-Day Emergency Slots
We understand that dental emergencies can be painful, stressful, and require prompt attention. To help patients access urgent dental care when they need it most, Kingshurst Dental Surgery reserves a number of emergency appointment slots each day.
Same-day urgent appointments are available for £50, subject to availability and when booked during our normal opening hours or online.
Our emergency dental service can help with:
- Toothache, dental infections, and facial swelling
- Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
- Lost fillings, crowns, bridges, or veneers
- Dental trauma and other urgent dental concerns
- Emergency assessment, diagnosis, and pain relief
If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please contact the practice as early as possible and our team will do their best to arrange a prompt appointment.
Immediate Self-Care
What To Do In An Emergency
While waiting to see your KDS dentist, follow these essential guidelines to manage symptoms, preserve teeth, and mitigate further damage.
Severe Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water. Gently use dental floss to remove any food particles lodged between teeth. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if there is facial swelling. Never apply pain relievers directly against the gums.
Broken / Chipped Tooth
Rinse your mouth and save any broken tooth fragments. Apply clean gauze to the area if it is bleeding. Apply a cold compress to your lip or cheek to reduce swelling and call for an emergency appointment immediately.
Extruded Tooth
If a tooth is partially dislodged or knocked out, contact us immediately. Handle the tooth only by the crown (chewing surface), not the root. Keep it moist in a container of milk or saliva, and bring it to your appointment.
Lost Filling or Crown
Bring the crown with you. You can temporarily protect the exposed cavity using dental cement or a small cotton swab dabbed with clove oil to relieve sensitivity until you reach our surgery.
