I have toothache
We know how unbearable toothache can be—it can take over your whole day. Whether it’s a dull ache or a sharp, throbbing pain, it’s your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. It could be a cavity, an infection, or something lodged between your teeth. Don't wait—pain like this doesn’t go away on its own.
Get in touch now, and we’ll book you in as soon as possible.
- Take pain relief (avoid aspirin if bleeding is present)
- Rinse with warm salt water to reduce inflammation
- Avoid very hot, cold, or sugary foods that may trigger pain
I have pain in my wisdom teeth
Wisdom tooth pain can be frustrating, especially if it comes and goes. If yours are growing in at an awkward angle or there’s swelling around the gum, they could be impacted or infected.
Leaving it untreated could lead to more pain, swelling, or infection. Contact us now, and we’ll assess whether they need treatment or removal.
- Rinse with warm salt water to ease discomfort
- Use a cold compress on your cheek if there’s swelling
- Take pain relief if needed
I have a broken tooth
A broken tooth can be painful, sharp, and worrying, but don’t panic—we’re here to help. Whether it’s from biting into something hard or an accident, a chipped or fractured tooth can worsen if left untreated.
Call us now—delaying could lead to infection or further breakage.
- Rinse your mouth with warm water
- If there’s bleeding, apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth
- Avoid chewing on that side
- If the break is sharp, cover it with sugar-free gum or dental wax
I have lost a tooth
Losing a tooth can be shocking, but acting fast gives us the best chance of saving it. If the tooth was knocked out due to an accident, there’s a short window to try and reinsert it.
Time is critical—call us immediately and head to the practice.
- If the tooth is clean, try placing it back in the socket (don’t force it)
- If not, store it in milk or saliva—never let it dry out
- Avoid touching the root of the tooth
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
I need root canal treatment
Hearing "root canal" can sound scary, but we promise—it’s nothing to fear. If your tooth is causing intense pain or sensitivity, the nerve inside may be infected. Left untreated, the pain will only worsen, and the infection could spread.
This isn’t something to ignore. Call us now to get booked in. The sooner we treat it, the more we can save your tooth.
- Avoid biting on the affected side
- Take pain relief if needed
- Keep the area clean by rinsing gently with warm salt water
I have broken dentures
We know how important your dentures are for eating, speaking, and confidence. If they’ve cracked, split, or a tooth has broken off, they won’t fit properly—and wearing damaged dentures could cause irritation or sores.
Don’t try to fix them yourself. Call us now so we can repair or replace them properly.
- Avoid wearing the broken dentures if they’re uncomfortable
- Keep them in a safe place
- Stick to soft foods if eating is difficult
What to expect during your emergency visit?
When you arrive, we'll start with an immediate assessment of your pain and medical history, taking around 10 minutes. We'll then move to diagnosis—about 15 minutes for X-rays and a thorough examination to identify the problem.
Once we know what we're dealing with, we'll spend roughly 5 minutes discussing your treatment options and providing transparent pricing before we proceed. Finally, we'll focus on immediate relief. This varies depending on your emergency—some issues can be resolved quickly, while others need more time. Our priority is always managing your pain first, and we'll provide same-visit treatment whenever possible.
Most emergency appointments take 45 minutes to an hour, though times vary based on your specific situation.
Your £69 Emergency Appointment at Siha Dental includes:
- Full assessment of dental concern
