We’ve put together this guide on how to identify common dental emergencies and when to call our friendly practice in Liverpool for an emergency dental appointment.
It can be difficult to know whether your dental concern is considered an emergency. If you’re experiencing unexplained pain and discomfort, it’s easy to panic and assume you need to be seen right away. You may have lost a filling and are unsure whether it’s classed as a dental emergency.
Some of the most common signs of a dental emergency include:
If any of your symptoms could lead to life-threatening or long-term medical issues, they would be classed as a dental emergency. In cases of trauma or injury, seeing one of our emergency dentists could be the difference between saving and losing a tooth.
The following oral health issues are considered non-emergency:
In the event of a non-emergency oral health issue, our experienced clinicians will still try and see you as soon as possible. As these dental concerns can still impact your daily life and make tasks like eating and speaking difficult, we will do everything we can to relieve your pain.
If you think you require an emergency dental appointment, please call our practice right away on 0151 228 2226.
Our friendly reception team will ask you some basic questions about your oral health issue, which will then be passed on to our clinicians. One of our emergency dentists will then call you back and provide you with all of the advice you need to help relieve you of your discomfort as quickly as possible. We will offer you a same-day emergency dental appointment when it is necessary to guide you towards a full recovery.
This is a difficult question, as the answer is not always simple. A mild toothache is usually not a dental emergency.
If you have a toothache that is becoming increasingly more painful and won’t subside after several days, please call our practice immediately for guidance.
The following symptoms are usually signs that a toothache is a dental emergency:
If you have the above symptoms, please call our Liverpool practice for advice from our emergency dentists. We will do everything we can to relieve your pain and come up with a treatment plan to restore your smile.
When visiting our warm and welcoming practice in Liverpool, one of our emergency dentists will take the time to listen and understand your dental concern. We will then provide an oral examination to determine the appropriate treatment plan. You may be advised of a temporary treatment to immediately relieve you of your pain. A follow-up appointment may later be scheduled to provide you with further treatment.
We understand that a dental emergency can be extremely distressing. If you are in a lot of pain but are unsure whether your dental concern would be classed as an emergency, please call our Liverpool practice right away. Our friendly team will be more than happy to advise you on whether we need to see you right away.
