How we can help – A recent emergency case study
She called us and our general dentist, Dr Deepali, reassured her on the phone that she would do everything she could to get her tooth back. Deepali saw her on the same day and was able to repair her tooth with a filling, taking time polishing it so it looked natural. The patient was over the moon and was eagerly looking forward to her holiday– so was her friend!”
How to find the right dentist for your emergency dental care in Croydon
The best dentists for emergency cases:
A. Are highly-skilled
B. Have a lot of experience treating patients with a wide-range of urgent dental issues
C. Keep appointments open for such cases (or are willing to come in early, stay late and open at the weekend in order to see patients who need help fast)
At Mayfield Dental, our Croydon emergency dental service ticks all of these boxes.
General advice on dental emergencies
The tooth may be sensitive to temperature so avoid very hot or cold drinks. Avoid eating on that side so trapped food does not cause discomfort. Keep the crown/bridge safe and bring it to your dentist. If it should be recemented to avoid further damage to the underlying tooth and nerve.
Ensure you are following all post-operative advice. Avoid physical activity. Apply constant pressure (10-15 minutes) to the wound with the gauze your dentist has supplied, or a clean piece of cotton.
A little pain and swelling following tooth extraction can usually be controlled by over-the-counter painkillers (ibuprofen/paracetamol). An ice pack applied to your face over the area may help. Ensure you avoid smoking. If you experience unusually severe pain not helped by these measures, or, which persist after a few days, please contact us.
Broken dentures can usually be repaired and we have arrangements with local laboratories to have this done as quickly as possible. Sometimes it is necessary to take an impression of your mouth so that the broken parts can be reliably relocated.
The tooth needs to be reimplanted as soon as possible. Immediately call us for an emergency appointment. Avoid touching the root to prevent microscopic damage to where the bone attaches. If the tooth is visibly dirty, rinse it gently with water but do not scrub. If you can, replace the tooth back in the socket and hold there until you see us. If this is difficult, keep the tooth in iced milk.
Attempt to gently reposition the tooth with very light finger pressure. Avoid eating and contact us.
We can assess your wisdom tooth/teeth, arrange for an xray and get our oral surgeon to get it removed with minimal wait times.
