Emergency Dentist Serving Grantham - Call 01780 482080

Dental emergencies include severe, persistent toothache that won't respond to painkillers; knocked-out, broken, or significantly cracked teeth; dental abscesses with facial swelling, fever, or pus; uncontrolled bleeding that won't stop; lost fillings or crowns causing severe pain or sharp edges; jaw injuries or suspected fractures; and soft tissue injuries. If you're in severe pain, distressed, or unsure, call us on 01780 482080 - we'll assess your situation and advise you.

We keep same-day emergency slots available and prioritise urgent cases. When you call from Grantham with a dental emergency, we'll typically see you within a few hours. Our practice is just 18 miles away - approximately 25 minutes by car. Call 01780 482080 as early as possible in the day for maximum appointment flexibility. We always make room for genuine emergencies.

Act quickly - time is critical! Find the tooth and handle it by the crown only (the white part - never touch the root). Rinse gently if dirty, then try to reinsert it in the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk, saliva, or saline solution. Call us immediately on 01780 482080 and get to our practice within 30-60 minutes if possible. Fast action dramatically improves the chances of successfully saving your tooth.

Take over-the-counter pain relief - ibuprofen and paracetamol together work well if they're suitable for you. Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Rinse gently with warm salt water. Avoid extremely hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks. If swelling is present, keep your head elevated. Call ahead on 01780 482080 so we're ready for you when you arrive.

If the tooth is sensitive, painful, or has sharp edges, call 01780 482080 for a same-day emergency appointment. If there's no pain, it's still important to be seen within a few days to protect the tooth from damage or decay. Try to keep the crown safe and clean - we may be able to re-cement it. Temporary dental cement from pharmacies can help protect the tooth temporarily.

NHS emergency treatment is covered under Band 2 (approximately £73). Private emergency consultations start from £75, with treatment costs varying based on what's required - we'll always explain all costs clearly before beginning any treatment so you can make an informed decision.
