What Counts as a Dental Emergency

Dental emergencies can include severe toothache, swelling, trauma to the teeth or signs of infection. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, it is always best to get in touch for advice.

Acting early can help prevent problems from worsening and may reduce the need for more complex treatment later on.

How We Handle Urgent Appointments

We aim to assess emergency cases as quickly as possible. During your visit, we will identify the issue, relieve discomfort and explain the next steps clearly so you know what to expect.

Where further treatment is required, we will guide you through your options and arrange any follow-up care as needed.

What to Do Before You Arrive

If you are experiencing discomfort, simple steps such as over-the-counter pain relief may help in the short term. Avoid chewing on the affected area and try to keep the area as clean as possible.

If swelling or trauma is involved, contacting the practice promptly is important so we can advise you appropriately before your visit.

If the practice is closed, NHS Scotland provides guidance on accessing urgent dental care, including how to find out-of-hours support.
