At JR Medical Clinic, we understand that dental emergencies can occur unexpectedly, causing significant discomfort and concern. Our priority is to provide prompt, professional care to address your urgent dental needs. Below, we address common questions to help you navigate emergency dental situations effectively.
What Constitutes a Dental Emergency?
Dental emergencies encompass situations requiring immediate attention to alleviate pain, prevent infection, or address trauma. Common examples include:
- Severe Toothache: Persistent or intense tooth pain that disrupts daily activities.
- Chipped or Broken Teeth: Damage resulting from accidents or biting hard substances.
- Lost Fillings or Crowns: Loss of dental restorations leading to sensitivity or discomfort.
- Abscesses or Swelling: Infections causing noticeable swelling in the mouth, face, or neck.
- Knocked-Out Teeth: Teeth displaced due to trauma, requiring immediate care to increase the chance of reattachment.
If you experience swelling, especially in areas like your face, jaw, or neck, it’s crucial to seek immediate dental care, as this may indicate a serious infection

At JR Medical Clinic, we can assess the source of the pain, whether it’s due to decay, an infection, or another issue. Until your appointment, you can manage the pain with over-the-counter pain relief (such as paracetamol) and avoid hot or cold foods that may trigger discomfort.

What Treatments Can Be Suggested to Me During My Emergency Dental Appointment?
At JR Medical Clinic, during your emergency dental appointment, our expert team will assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your needs. Some common treatments we may suggest include:
-
Root Canal Treatment
If your tooth is severely infected or damaged, a root canal may be necessary to save the tooth and prevent further pain or infection. -
Dental Fillings
If you have cavities or tooth decay, we may recommend a filling to restore the tooth’s function and prevent further damage. -
Tooth Extraction
In cases where a tooth is beyond repair, we may recommend extraction to eliminate pain and prevent the spread of infection. -
Implants and Bridges for Filling Gaps
If you’ve lost a tooth, we offer advanced solutions like dental implants or bridges to restore your smile and improve your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Our goal at JR Medical Clinic is to provide you with personalized care and ensure that all your dental needs are addressed promptly and effectively. Call us at 01702 314 997 to schedule your emergency appointment and discuss the best treatment options for you.
What Should I Do if My Tooth Gets Knocked Out?
If a tooth is knocked out, it’s essential to act quickly. Try to reinsert the tooth gently into the socket, if possible. If you can’t, place the tooth in a glass of milk or between your cheek and gums to keep it moist. Call JR Medical Clinic immediately on 01702 314 997. Time is crucial, and we will aim to see you within the hour to increase the chances of saving the tooth.
What Should I Do If I Have a Dental Abscess?
If you suspect you have a dental abscess, it’s crucial to seek immediate care. Abscesses are infections that can spread quickly, causing severe pain and potential complications. Call JR Medical Clinic right away on 01702 314 997, and we’ll guide you through the next steps. In some cases, drainage and antibiotics may be required to manage the infection.
