Emergency Service
Comprehensive emergency treatment with after-hours care
A dental emergency can be both worrisome and painful. At Epsom Dentalcare, our friendly, understanding staff will provide you with the very best care in a comfortable, safe environment. We offer emergency treatment to existing patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also keep time slots aside every day just for emergencies. And for new patients, we offer early morning, evening and Saturday appointments.
Our comprehensive same-day emergency dental service mean you won’t have to suffer in pain while waiting for an appointment to become available at your dental clinic. If you are in pain, have a broken tooth or have lost a filling, we will endeavour to see you by the end of the day to sort out your pain and repair any damaged dental work.
If you're not sure if a dental problem is an emergency, we offer this advice – if it hurts, it's an emergency. Even if your injury seems small, it may be compromising the health of living tissues inside the teeth. Quick treatment improves the odds of saving injured or damaged teeth, and consequently, damaged nerves or blood vessels. If you ignore dental pain or a dental injury, you're taking a chance, because there is also a risk of getting an infection, which can become life threatening.
Most dental emergencies usually involve relief of acute pain, emergency root canal treatment or an extraction. In some circumstances, these emergencies may involve:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- A knocked out tooth
- Abscesses and infections causing swelling
- Lost crowns or veneers
- Broken dentures or partials
- Wisdom teeth
