What should I do in a dental emergency in Knightsbridge?

Here is advice for some of the more common dental emergencies that we see in patients from Knightsbridge, Pimlico, Belgravia, and throughout London:

A knocked-out tooth

Make sure you call us for an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible. Saving a knocked-out tooth is time-critical, so the sooner you call us, the better. If you have found the knocked-out tooth, keep it safe either inside your mouth or in a cup of cold milk to prevent it from drying out, and bring it with you to the emergency dentist. Pick up the tooth by the crown, not by the roots, and don’t wash or handle the tooth too much. Take paracetamol if you are suffering from pain.

A chipped tooth

If your tooth suffers a chip or a fracture due to trauma or injury, you may need an emergency filling, crown, or extraction. Your emergency dentist should be able to file down any uneven edges and replace missing parts of the chipped tooth with a tooth-colored filling. If you are experiencing pain, try taking paracetamol, and swishing your mouth with salt water can help too.

An abscess

If you experience any swelling in your face, gums, or mouth, this may be due to a dental abscess. This is an infection inside the tooth pulp and will need immediate dental emergency treatment. Take paracetamol for any pain. Do not lie flat, but stay seated or upright until you get to the emergency dentist.
