At Lighthouse Dental Practice, we understand how distressing a dental emergency can be. If you’re experiencing pain or swelling, call us now at 02392 822740 to arrange an emergency appointment. Our team is dedicated to providing urgent dental care to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.

What is a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency requires immediate attention to manage severe pain, reduce swelling, and prevent long-term damage. Here are symptoms that may require an emergency appointment:

• Severe dental or facial pain that cannot be managed with over-the-counter medication

• Rapidly increasing swelling, especially around the throat or eyes

• Trauma to the teeth, gums, or face

• Uncontrollable bleeding following a dental procedure

If you’re experiencing any of these, call us immediately at 02392 822740.

If out of hours please call NHS 111 or The 247 Dentist on 03301759995.

When Do You Need an Urgent Dental Appointment?

An urgent dental appointment is necessary when serious, but non-life-threatening, dental problems arise that require timely care. Symptoms include:

• Severe dental pain not relieved by medication

• Acute gum or soft tissue infections

• Uncontrollable bleeding

Contact us as soon as possible to schedule an urgent appointment during our opening hours to prevent further problems.

Non-Urgent Dental Needs

If your issue is important but not urgent, you can book the next available appointment. These situations typically include:

• Cosmetic concerns, such as dislodged crowns or bridges

• Broken dentures

• Routine fillings or restoration appointments

• Non-painful wisdom tooth extractions

• Orthodontic issues that require adjustments

While these cases may not need immediate attention, they are still important for maintaining your dental health.
