The importance of emergency dental care
We understand how worrying and how uncomfortable dental and oral pain can be. When there is pain, there is usually some oral health complication in or around the affected area.
Any form of tooth pain, no matter how mild or extreme, is a sign that you need to make an appointment to see your dentist immediately.
Most of the time, treating the complication right away may mean something as simple as needing a filling due to tooth decay.
However, if these types of treatments are delayed, it may lead to something far more complicated and expensive, such as root canal treatment or even a drastic measure like removing the tooth in question.
Knowing that there is a qualified and experienced emergency dentist nearby gives our patients much-needed peace of mind. They feel confident knowing they can receive the necessary urgent care in the event of a dental emergency.

“Kind, skilled and responsive. An excellent service – just when I needed it”
Rosemary Croft
“Once again 1st class customer service! From the moment I made the call for an appointment to being seen that day and getting the necessary treatment. Thank You!!”
“I highly recommend Markham Associates for your dental requirements. I had a painful tooth and was seen by Dr. Kamran within 1 hour of calling the reception. The practice has always been very friendly and exceptionally professional each time we have visited.”
“I had to have an inlay as a back tooth had a break in it and had been causing me a lot of sensitivity and pain since last autumn. After Dr Kamran fitted the inlay last week I have been so much more comfortable. I would recommend this dental surgery.”
“Was able to get an emergency appointment the same day. Dr Kamran is very kind gentle and professional and explains everything thoroughly. All the staff are fantastic and Maria the receptionist is very helpful and advised me on the payment plan available.”
“Excellent service. Needed an emergency tooth extraction after the bank holiday weekend and they saw me within an hour of first contact. Very friendly team who made me feel at ease and talked me through everything at every step of the way. Thank you.”
What you can expect during your emergency treatment
We treat all our emergency patients exactly how we would expect to be treated in this situation: with compassion, dignity and respect.
We try and treat dental emergencies the same day but this will obviously depend on how many slots we have available, so the sooner you can call in the day, the better.
So that we can agree on your most suitable treatment, we will discuss with you the recommended treatment options available to you (including cost, length of treatment, sedation, recovery time etc.)
Need a 24-hour emergency dentist?
While you are waiting to see us, try following these helpful emergency dental care tips to help alleviate any pain:
Toothache
Rinse your mouth with warm water and take over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, but remember to follow the instructions on the packet. A cold compress can help reduce any swelling.
Lost filling
Place sugar-free chewing gum or temporary filling material in the cavity and avoid eating or drinking on the affected tooth.
Lost crown
If still in one piece, use chewing gum or over-the-counter dental cement to stick the crown in place temporarily. If broken, keep all the pieces and cover the cavity in the same way as a lost filling.
Knocked out tooth
Hold the tooth carefully by the crown (the part that shows when in your mouth) and rinse gently with water (but be sure not to scrub). Try to put the tooth back in place but make sure it is the correct way around. If this is not possible, then keep it in some milk (or water containing a pinch of salt).
Don’t reinsert a baby tooth, as it can damage the permanent tooth underneath.
Broken tooth
Collect any pieces of tooth and store them in milk. Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to reduce any swelling.
Some simple precautions you could take to avoid dental injuries:
- Always use a mouthguard during any contact sports.
- Never chew ice, popcorn kernels or hard sweets.
- Avoid using your teeth to cut threads or similar objects.
- Don’t hold small torches between your front teeth when you do DIY work.
