Frequently Asked Questions
Dental emergencies include severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, a lost crown or filling causing pain, swelling around the jaw or face, or an abscess. In most cases, you should contact an emergency dentist rather than A&E, as hospital emergency departments are not equipped to carry out dental treatment. We offer a 24-hour emergency service on Friday evenings through to Sunday nights, so you are not left waiting until Monday.
Yes. Our emergency service is available to patients in Preston and the surrounding Lancashire area, whether or not you are an existing patient. If you are in pain or have suffered a dental injury, please call us as soon as possible so we can assess your situation and get you seen quickly.
Act immediately, as time is critical. Pick the tooth up by the crown (the white part), not the root. Do not scrub it. If possible, gently rinse it with milk or saliva and attempt to place it back in the socket. If that is not possible, keep it in a small container of milk or between your cheek and gum, and get to us as quickly as you can. The sooner the tooth can be reimplanted, the better the chances of saving it.
Yes. A dental abscess is an infection that can spread and become serious if left untreated, so it should never be ignored. During our weekend emergency hours, we can assess and treat abscesses, provide drainage where needed, and prescribe antibiotics if appropriate. If swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, call 999 immediately, as this requires urgent hospital attention.
Emergency appointment fees depend on the treatment required. We will always be upfront about costs at the point of contact so there are no surprises. NHS emergency treatment may be available in some circumstances, and our team can advise you on this when you call. You can also get in touch via our website to ask about emergency appointments online.
