Before You Reach Us

What to Do in a Dental Emergency

Before you reach us, here is some guidance to manage your situation.

01

Knocked-Out Tooth

Keep it moist. If possible, gently replace it in the socket or store it in milk. Contact us immediately — time is critical.

02

Toothache

Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Over-the-counter pain relief can help temporarily. Do not place aspirin directly on the tooth.

03

Broken Tooth

Save any large pieces. Rinse your mouth gently and call us to arrange an urgent appointment.

04

Dental Abscess

Do not ignore swelling. An abscess is an infection and can become serious if left untreated. Contact us or go to A&E if swelling is severe and spreading to your face or neck.

05

Lost Filling or Crown

This is uncomfortable but manageable short-term.Dental wax or temporary cement (available from pharmacies) can protect the area until your appointment.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Dentist Thetford

In most cases, yes. Brandon Dental Clinic prioritises patients who are in pain or have suffered a dental trauma. We do our best to offer same-day appointments, and we recommend calling us as early in the day as possible to secure a slot. If you are in severe pain or have significant facial swelling, please do not delay — contact us straight away.
Absolutely. You do not need to be a current or registered patient with us to receive emergency dental care. We welcome new patients who require urgent treatment. Our team will take your details when you call, assess your situation, and arrange an appointment as swiftly as we can.
If you have a serious dental emergency outside of practice hours — particularly if you have a spreading facial infection, difficulty swallowing or breathing — please go to your nearest accident and emergency department. For less severe emergencies such as a lost filling or moderate toothache, call our clinic first thing in the morning to arrange an urgent appointment. Temporary pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen (where appropriate) can help manage discomfort overnight.
Costs vary depending on what treatment is required. We aim to be fully transparent about pricing before any work is carried out, so there are never any surprise bills. When you call to book, our team will give you an indication of the likely costs. We also offer finance options for patients who require more extensive treatment following an emergency.
Yes, a dental abscess should always be treated as an emergency. An abscess is a bacterial infection that will not resolve on its own. If left untreated, it can spread to surrounding tissues, your jaw, or even your neck and throat — which becomes a serious medical emergency. Contact us immediately if you have a swollen, painful or pus-filled area in your mouth, or if you are running a temperature alongside dental pain.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the extent of the break, our dentist may be able to carry out an emergency repair, bond the tooth, or provide a temporary restoration on your first visit. More significant damage may require additional appointments, but we will always aim to stabilise your tooth and relieve any discomfort as quickly as possible.
