What To Do In A Dental Emergency

Follow these guidelines before reaching our emergency dental clinic in Bournemouth

Knocked-Out Tooth

1. Handle the tooth by the crown (chewing surface), not the root
2. Gently rinse with milk or saline if dirty (don't scrub)
3. Try to reinsert it into the socket if possible
4. If not, store in milk or saliva
5. See us immediately - time is critical!

Broken or Chipped Tooth

1. Rinse mouth with warm water
2. Save any broken pieces if possible
3. Apply cold compress if there's swelling
4. Use temporary dental cement from pharmacy if sharp edges are bothering you
5. Contact us for repair

Severe Toothache

1. Rinse with warm salt water
2. Floss gently to remove any trapped debris
3. Take over-the-counter pain relief if needed
4. Apply cold compress if swollen
5. Avoid very hot or cold foods
6. Contact us immediately - pain often indicates serious issues

Lost Crown or Filling

1. Save the crown if possible
2. Clean the inside of the crown gently
3. Use dental cement or sugar-free gum to temporarily reattach
4. Avoid chewing on that side
5. Contact us for proper reattachment or replacement

What Our Patients Say

Don't just take our word for it - hear from our emergency dental patients

"A few days ago, I needed an emergency treatment for my loose veneer. Bourne Dental At SOBO gave me an immediate appointment the next day. On the day of my appointment, I was greeted by Lou with a warm, friendly and reassuring smile. Dr. Ismail and Danielle are highly skilled professionals who are clearly passionate delivering a first class service. Following the new patient exam, Dr. Ismail explained to me patiently in detail what needs to be done and they made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I can’t thank them enough for providing me the much needed support at that time. Dr. Ismail even e-mailed me after my appointment to thank you and gave some advice and recommendations for my veneers. If you are looking for a professional and top quality dental experience, I highly recommend Bourne Dental At SOBO. The best Dental Clinic I’ve been in Bournemouth. Again, Thank you to the whole Team. "

Recementing veneer Emergency patient

"Cannot recommend more highly. Each person on the team are amazing, kind and understanding. For someone who has been historically very nervous at showing my teeth, let alone getting work done. All I can say is you are in safe hands. Never rushed, time to talk and explain any anxieties. Very fair in looking at the best outcomes, and understanding of cost. Real team, doing an amazing job of not just teeth but also for me, my mental health. Just a local sobo dentist you can rely on to not just fix teeth, but show genuine kindness, care and dignity. Thanks guys! Looking forward to appointment next week, never thought I'd say that about dentistry!"

Emergency broken tooth patient

"I needed an emergency dentist for my son at a weekend. I called Bourne Dental at Sobo and Ismail was so helpful. I sent him some photos on WhatApp and he helped straight away, we decided a weekend appointment wasn't needed, so he booked us in for the Monday, as Ismail didn't want us to have to pay the weekend emergency rates if we didn't need it. My son has autism and really struggles with dentists, but I was so shocked at how well he did there. We've never got further than a dentist putting a mirror in his mouth before, but this time he sat for an x-ray and let the dentist scrape some of his teeth. The whole environment was so relaxed, they put some TV on for my son while he was being treated. Although my son has an NHS dentist, I'm going to take him for more visits to Bourne Dental as he was so much more relaxed there. I'm also going to join the practice, as it was much nicer than my other dentist that I pay privately for (couldn't get an NHS one) and I really love the staff."

Frequently Asked Questions

We consider any of the following to be dental emergencies requiring immediate attention:

  • Severe toothache that doesn't respond to painkillers
  • Swelling in the mouth or face (especially with pain or fever)
  • Bleeding that won't stop
  • Knocked-out (avulsed) tooth
  • Broken tooth with pain or sharp edges
  • Lost crown or filling with pain
  • Dental trauma from an accident
  • Signs of infection (pain, swelling, bad taste)

We prioritize emergencies based on severity:

  • Immediate threats to life (severe swelling affecting breathing): Seen immediately
  • Severe pain or trauma: Typically within 1 hour
  • Broken teeth without pain: Usually same day
  • Lost fillings/crowns: Same day or next available appointment

When you call, our team will assess your situation and give you an estimated wait time. We always try to see emergency patients as quickly as possible.

Absolutely. We specialize in caring for nervous patients and offer several solutions to make your visit more comfortable:

  • Patience and understanding: We'll explain everything and go at your pace
  • Sedation options: Available for extremely anxious patients

We accept all major payment methods for emergency dental treatment:

  • Cash
  • Credit/Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard)
