A common reason for needing to see an emergency dentist is lost or broken teeth. At Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth, we offer same-day emergency appointments, so if you have lost or damaged a tooth or teeth for whatever reason, don’t delay; get in touch to book an appointment.

Teeth are lost for a variety of reasons, including accidents, injuries, gum disease and tooth decay. If an accident or injury has resulted in tooth loss, it may be possible for your emergency dentist to reimplant it in the socket. If you still have your tooth pick it up carefully by the crown (the visible part in your mouth) and avoid touching the root. If it is dirty, carefully clean it under cold running water. Put it in a clean container and cover it either with your own saliva or with milk, and bring it to your appointment at Queens Park Dental Team in Bournemouth.

Accidents and injuries involving the mouth or head can often result in broken teeth. It is important to see a dentist as soon as possible even if your tooth only has a small chip or crack, because this can allow bacteria to enter your tooth, leading to the possibility of infection and a painful dental abscess, requiring root canal treatment and even potentially leading to tooth loss if left untreated.

Your Bournemouth emergency dentist will assess the amount of damage that has occurred, and whenever possible will work to save your tooth. This may include using white (tooth-coloured) fillings, inlays, onlays, or a crown to restore or reinforce your tooth. Composite bonding material can also sometimes be used to restore damaged teeth, whilst porcelain veneers may be recommended for slightly chipped front teeth.

What can my Bournemouthemergency dentist do?

Many things constitute a dental emergency. From lost or broken teeth to a painful abscess, unbearable tooth-ache to damages to restorations such as crowns or dentures, it is always prudent to act quickly.

We always try to book patients in with an emergency dentist on the same day whenever possible. For that reason, the earlier you contact the practice the better. Please call us on 01202 303322 for out of hours advice as soon as your emergency occurs.

The first concern of your emergency dentist will be to get you out of pain. Dental pain can be unbearable, and we will never leave a patient in pain. It is not always possible to fully treat a condition in one appointment, so you may need to come back to our Bournemouth clinic for follow-up appointments to fully cure your ailment.

If fear of the dentist has caused you to put off seeking treatment until an emergency arises, your emergency dentist will take the time to talk you through any procedures necessary, and will treat you with the utmost care and respect at all times. Modern dentistry is practically pain free, and we use the Vibrainject injection system at our Bournemouth practice to deliver local anaesthetic, meaning many patients don’t even realise the injection has taken place.

What constitutes a dental emergency?

These are just some of the reasons you may need to see an emergency dentist:

Lost teeth

Accidents and injuries that involve a blow to the face or mouth often result in damage to the teeth. If your tooth is knocked out, your dentist may be able to reimplant it in the socket. If you still have the tooth, be sure to pick it up by the crown and avoid touching the root. You can clean it under cold water and put it in a clean container, covered in your own saliva or milk. Bring it with you to our practice. If we cannot reimplant it, your clinician will discuss tooth replacement options.

Broken teeth

Teeth are often broken in accidents and sporting injuries. Even if a tooth is only slightly chipped or cracked, infection may be able to enter the root canal system, so you should see an emergency dentist. At our Bournemouth practice we may be able to restore your tooth using composite bonding material (the same material used for white fillings), crowns or veneers.

Toothache

Toothache is a sign something is wrong and can quickly become unbearable. Come into our Bournemouth practice as soon as possible and we will get you out of pain.
