Emergency Dentist Serving Spalding - Call 01780 482080

Dental emergencies requiring same-day care include severe, unmanageable toothache; knocked-out permanent teeth; significantly broken or cracked teeth; dental abscesses with facial swelling, fever, or discharge; uncontrolled oral bleeding; lost crowns or fillings causing severe pain or sensitivity; jaw injuries or suspected fractures; and soft tissue injuries to lips, tongue, or cheeks. If you're in severe pain or distress, call us on 01780 482080 and we'll assess your situation and advise you.

We keep same-day emergency appointment slots available specifically for urgent cases. When you call from Spalding with a dental emergency, we'll prioritise seeing you the same day, typically within a few hours. Our practice is approximately 20 miles from Spalding - about 30 minutes by car. Call 01780 482080 as early as possible for the most appointment flexibility.

Time is absolutely critical! Find the tooth and handle it only by the crown (white part) - never touch the root. Rinse it very gently if dirty, then try to reinsert it in the socket. If you can't, store it in milk, saliva, or saline solution - NOT water. Call us immediately on 01780 482080 and get to our practice as quickly and safely as possible, ideally within 30-60 minutes. Speed dramatically increases the chance of saving the tooth.

Take appropriate over-the-counter pain relief - ibuprofen and paracetamol together are often most effective if 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 there's swelling, keep your head elevated. Call ahead on 01780 482080 so we can prepare for your arrival and see you quickly.

If the tooth is painful, very sensitive, or has sharp edges hurting your tongue or cheek, 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 prevent damage or decay. Keep the crown or filling safe and clean - we may be able to re-cement it. Temporary dental cement from pharmacies can provide short-term protection.

NHS emergency treatment is covered under Band 2 (approximately £73).
