Quick guide

Is it a dental emergency?

It depends on what you can see and feel. Use this as a guide, or ring us and we will tell you.

Go to A&E or call 999 if:
  • bleeding will not stop after 20 minutes of firm pressure
  • swelling in your face or neck is spreading, is closing your eye, or is making it hard to swallow or breathe
  • you were knocked out, or you may have broken your jaw or other bones in your face
See a dentist the same day if:
  • an adult tooth has been knocked out or pushed out of position
  • the pain is severe and painkillers are not controlling it
  • you can see a pink or red spot in a broken tooth, which means the nerve is exposed
  • your gum or face is swollen
See a dentist within a few days if:
  • a small chip has come off and the tooth is not painful
  • a filling or crown has come out and the tooth is comfortable
  • the tooth is rough or sensitive but you can eat and sleep

We are closed on Sundays. If you need urgent dental care when we are closed, call NHS 111.

How we can help

Emergencies we treat in Leeds

  • Severe toothache
    Pain that keeps you awake or does not settle with painkillers. Read how to ease toothache at night while you wait.
  • Swelling or abscess
    A swollen gum or face can be a sign of infection and should be seen the same day. If it affects your breathing or swallowing, go to A&E.
  • Broken or chipped tooth
    Keep any pieces in milk and call us. Our guide to a broken tooth at the weekend covers the first hour.
  • Lost filling or crown
    Keep a crown safe and bring it with you. We can often repair the tooth with a new filling or crown.
  • Knocked-out tooth
    An adult tooth can sometimes be saved, but time matters. See the steps below and come straight to a dentist.
  • Wisdom tooth pain
    Read about wisdom tooth pain and when a tooth may need removing.

Children can have dental emergencies too. See our guide to an emergency dentist for children, or read more about what counts as a dental emergency.

While you wait

What to do while you wait

01Rinse gently with warm water.
02Bring down swelling with a cold pack wrapped in a tea towel, ten minutes on and ten minutes off.
03Take pain relief you would normally use, following the packet. Do not place aspirin on the gum.
04Protect the tooth. Chew on the other side and avoid very hot, cold, hard or sticky food.
Time matters

If a tooth has been knocked out

An adult tooth that has been knocked out can sometimes be saved. The best chance is within 30 to 60 minutes.

  1. 1
    Pick the tooth up by the crown, the white part you normally see. Do not touch the root.
  2. 2
    If it is dirty, rinse it for a few seconds in milk or cold water. Do not scrub it.
  3. 3
    If you can, push it gently back into the socket the right way round and bite on a clean cloth.
  4. 4
    If you cannot put it back, keep it in milk or tucked inside your cheek.
  5. 5
    Get to a dentist straight away.

Do not put a baby tooth back in. It can damage the adult tooth growing underneath.
