Emergency Dentist Serving Lincoln - Call 01780 482080

Our practice in Stamford is approximately 45 miles from Lincoln city centre - about 50-60 minutes by car via the A1. While this may seem far during an emergency, we offer same-day appointments and comprehensive care that resolves your problem completely. Many Lincoln patients find the journey worthwhile for expert emergency treatment and continuity of care.

Dental emergencies requiring same-day care include severe, persistent toothache; knocked-out or significantly broken teeth; dental abscesses with facial swelling or fever; uncontrolled oral bleeding; lost crowns or fillings causing severe pain; jaw injuries; and soft tissue injuries to lips, tongue, or cheeks. If you're experiencing severe pain or are unsure if your situation is urgent, call us on 01780 482080 and we'll assess and advise you.

Yes, we keep emergency appointments available specifically for urgent cases. When you call from Lincoln with a genuine emergency, we'll prioritise seeing you the same day. Call 01780 482080 as early in the day as possible for the most appointment flexibility. Even if our schedule appears full, we always accommodate dental emergencies.

This is a true dental emergency requiring immediate action! Handle the tooth by the crown only (never touch the root), rinse gently if dirty, and try to reinsert it in the socket. If you can't, store it in milk or saliva. Call us immediately on 01780 482080 and travel to our practice as quickly as safely possible - ideally within 30-60 minutes. Speed dramatically improves the chance of saving the tooth.

Take over-the-counter pain relief (ibuprofen and paracetamol together work well if suitable for you), apply a cold compress to your cheek, rinse with warm salt water, and avoid very hot, cold, or sweet foods. Sleep with your head elevated. Call us on 01780 482080 first thing in the morning for a same-day emergency appointment. Never apply aspirin directly to gums or teeth.
