Emergency Dentist in Stamford - Call 01780 482080

Dental emergencies include severe toothache that won't respond to painkillers, knocked-out or broken teeth, dental abscesses with facial swelling, uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth, lost crowns or fillings causing severe pain, and any dental trauma from accidents or injuries. If you're in severe pain, distress, or unsure whether your situation is urgent, call us on 01780 482080 and we'll advise you.

We keep same-day emergency slots available and prioritise patients in pain or distress. In most cases, we can see you within a few hours of calling our Stamford practice. Call us on 01780 482080 as early as possible in the day for the best chance of an immediate appointment. Even if we're fully booked, we'll always find time for genuine emergencies.

Time is absolutely critical! Find the tooth, hold it by the crown (the white part, not the root), gently rinse if it's dirty, and try to put it back in the socket if possible. If you can't, keep it in milk or saliva and call us immediately on 01780 482080. Get to our Stamford practice within 30-60 minutes if possible. The sooner we see you, the better the chance of successfully saving the tooth.

Take over-the-counter painkillers (ibuprofen is often most effective for dental pain if suitable for you), apply a cold compress to your cheek on the outside, and try to sleep with your head elevated. Avoid aspirin directly on the gum as this can cause burns. Call our Stamford surgery first thing in the morning on 01780 482080 for an emergency appointment. Our answerphone provides out-of-hours emergency guidance.

If you're in pain or the tooth has sharp edges hurting your tongue or cheek, call us on 01780 482080 for an emergency appointment in Stamford. If there's no pain, it's still important to be seen soon to prevent further damage or sensitivity - call us to arrange an appointment within a few days. Temporary dental cement from pharmacies can help in the meantime.

Emergency treatment costs vary depending on what's needed. NHS emergency treatment is covered by Band 2 (approximately £73). Private emergency consultations start from around £75, with treatment costs depending on what's required - simple treatments like fillings may be £95-180, while extractions range from £95-250. We'll always explain costs clearly before proceeding with treatment.

We welcome emergency patients even if you're not registered with St Mary's Dental. Call us on 01780 482080 to explain your emergency situation and we'll do our best to help you quickly. You can also register as a regular patient at the same time if you wish. We're here to help all Stamford residents in dental emergencies.
