If I asked you what to do in a medical emergency, you’d probably know the answer. Depending on the severity, you’d call an ambulance, dash to A&E or find your nearest walk-in clinic. But what about a dental emergency, would you know what to do then? It seems silly to walk into A&E with a toothache and you probably won’t be greeted too enthusiastically by the overworked junior doctor when you do. But it is important that you get that excruciating toothache seen to. That’s when you need to call the emergency dentist in Bournemouth.

At Queens Park Dental Team, our emergency dentist Dr Hannah Neve will see to your dental pain and restore your dental health, whatever your dental emergency.

What is a dental emergency?

If you’re not sure if you are in need of an emergency dentist in Bournemouth, your best bet is to give us a call. We’ll let you know whether or not you need to come in to see us as soon as possible. But for now, to give you a better idea of where you stand when it comes to dental emergencies, here are a few of the most common ones:

• fully or partially knocked out tooth or teeth
• chipped or cracked teeth
• severe toothache
• swelling
• bleeding
• abscesses.

This isn’t an exhaustive list, so if you are in dental pain but aren’t presenting with any of the above, you may still need an emergency dentist in Bournemouth to take a look at your mouth.

What can we do for you?

When you come to see Hannah, she will provide pain relief if you are in need of any. Then she will inspect your mouth to find out the extent of the damage. This damaged area will be cleaned and sterilised to prevent infection. Next she will set about repairing the damage. Wherever possible a permanent solution will be applied and if not, a temporary fix will tide you over until you come back for further repairs.

With your dental emergency taken care of, you can get on with your day knowing that your future dental health is protected.
