Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them.

At Alma Smiles, we’re here to provide prompt assistance during our regular hours, as well as guidance on NHS emergency options.

What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency is any serious dental issue that requires immediate care to alleviate pain, prevent infection, or save a tooth. Common dental emergencies include:

  • Lost or knocked-out teeth – Acting quickly can sometimes save the tooth if treated within the first hour. Place the tooth in milk or saliva if you can’t keep it in its socket.
  • Severe toothache – Intense pain that doesn’t improve might require urgent treatment.
  • Dental abscess – Infections or abscesses can spread if untreated, so they should be addressed promptly.
  • Fractured or cracked tooth – Broken teeth can be painful and at risk for infection, so quick treatment is recommended.

Private Dental Emergencies at Alma Smiles

For private dental emergencies, we offer same-day appointments whenever possible, ensuring you get relief and care quickly. The fee for a private emergency consultation at Alma Smiles is £70 plus the cost of treatment.

To reach us during working hours:

We’ll respond as soon as possible during business hours to arrange an appointment and provide advice on managing your situation until you’re seen.

NHS Dental Emergencies

If you require NHS emergency dental care, the NHS offers support for urgent cases such as:

  • Uncontrolled bleeding following an extraction.
  • Severe pain or swelling that can’t be managed with standard pain relief.
  • Dental infections or abscesses affecting your general health.

For NHS emergency dental services:

  • Call NHS 111 – This service can assess your symptoms and direct you to an NHS emergency dentist if needed.
  • Visit the NHS website for more details on accessing NHS emergency care.

Whether you’re using our private services or seeking NHS assistance, Alma Smiles is here to support you through any dental emergency with prompt and compassionate care.
