Think you need urgent dental care?

Extra urgent dental appointments are now available. You should get help quickly if:

you have a knocked-out tooth or other injury to your teeth
you have severe tooth or mouth pain that’s affecting your sleep or daily activities, and is not helped by painkillers like paracetamol or ibuprofen
you have tooth or mouth pain that is helped by taking painkillers, but it’s not going away
you have swelling, a lump or patch inside your mouth that’s getting bigger or not going away – it may or may not be painful
you’ve recently had a tooth removed and you’re bleeding or have severe pain
you have a broken or loose filling, denture, crown, bridge or veneer

You should be offered urgent dental treatment within 24 hours or 7 days, depending on your symptoms.

If you’ve knocked out an adult tooth, you should be offered emergency dental care within 1 hour, or as soon as possible. You can call NHS 111 or contact a dentist and ask for an appointment.

You’ll be given advice on what type of appointment you’ll need.
