When you should contact an emergency dentist
It can sometimes be hard to know if your issue requires immediate attention. You should contact our emergency dentist in Oxford right away if you experience any of the following issues:
- Severe toothache or throbbing pain: Intense or persistent pain that can’t be managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
- Knocked-out tooth (Avulsed Tooth): Immediate care is crucial to save the tooth.
- Chipped, broken, or fractured tooth: Especially if it is causing pain or has sharp edges that are cutting your mouth.
- Lost filling or crown: Leaving the tooth exposed can cause sensitivity and damage.
- Dental abscess or swelling: A painful, pimple-like swelling on the gums, often accompanied by facial swelling, indicates a serious infection.
- Bleeding in the mouth: Uncontrollable or heavy bleeding following an injury.

What to expect during your emergency dental visit
- Triage and assessment: Your visit will begin with a thorough examination and X-rays of the affected area to accurately diagnose the problem. Please tell us exactly what happened and describe your pain level.
- Immediate relief: Our dentist will focus on treating the source of your pain. This may involve cleaning an infected area, stabilising a fractured tooth, or addressing an abscess.
- Treatment plan: We aim to complete definitive treatment during the emergency visit, but for complex issues, we will perform a temporary fix to relieve pain and then schedule a follow-up appointment to complete the necessary care. We will explain all your options clearly before starting any procedure.

Nervous patients
If you are experiencing dental anxiety, IV sedation is a safe, effective way to make you feel completely relaxed and much more willing to undergo treatment. Your worries will be eliminated, but you remain conscious and able to answer questions, so the dentist can treat you more effectively.
We can offer IV sedation at the practice to help you get the emergency dental care you require or further treatment.
