Emergency Dental Care in Croydon: Fast Relief When You Need It Most

Croydon Emergency Dental Care

At London Road Dental Centre, we understand how distressing dental emergencies can be. Sudden tooth pain, swelling, or damage can disrupt your day and affect your overall well-being. That’s why we prioritise providing same-day emergency dental care to relieve pain, address urgent issues, and restore your peace of mind as quickly as possible.

What Is Considered a Dental Emergency?

Dental emergencies are situations that require immediate attention to prevent further complications or alleviate significant discomfort. Common dental emergencies include:

  • Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or throbbing pain that disrupts daily activities.
  • Swelling or Abscesses: Infections that cause swelling in the gums or face, often accompanied by pain or fever.
  • Chipped or Broken Teeth: Accidents that damage the structure of your teeth.
  • Knocked-Out Teeth (Avulsed Teeth): When a tooth falls out due to trauma, immediate care can increase the chance of saving it.
  • Lost Fillings or Crowns: Exposed teeth that become sensitive or vulnerable to further damage.
  • Bleeding Gums or Injuries: Trauma to the soft tissues of the mouth requiring urgent care.

Tips for Handling a Dental Emergency

While waiting for your appointment, here are some steps to manage common dental emergencies:

  • Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and use over-the-counter pain relief if needed. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums.
  • Knocked-Out Tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse gently, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, keep it in a container of milk or saliva and bring it to your appointment.
  • Broken Tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm water and save any broken pieces. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
  • Abscess: Rinse with warm saltwater to help draw out pus and reduce swelling.
