Toothache Emergency

Are you currently experiencing really bad toothache? Here’s our Milton Keynes dental team’s best advice for looking after yourself while you’re waiting to be seen by our emergency dentist:

• Use ice or a cold compress on the inside or outside of your mouth where you’re experiencing the toothache
• If you don’t like the sound of that, salt and hot water has been used for centuries to provide pain relief for toothaches. Try a tablespoon (but no more) of salt in a standard cup or glass then gargle and rinse
• Sunflower or sesame oil applied by a swab or cotton ball to the area of pain works well for some patients
• Clove oil can work as a great topical analgesic for short-term pain relief

Call our practice as soon as possible to make an urgent dental care appointment. We work with patients across Milton Keynes and the wider Buckinghamshire area.

"I’ve lost a tooth. What should I do?"

If you have lost a tooth, you should seek urgent dental care straight away. If you live in Milton Keynes or in the wider Buckinghamshire area, our practice in the Middleton area of Milton Keynes has ample parking available and is a few minutes off the A1 and M1 and very easy to reach.

Between now and your appointment, you should try to place your tooth gently back into its socket. If you can’t get it to sit in its socket comfortably, please do not try to apply any force to make it stay in.

Place your tooth in a glass of either saline solution or milk – if neither are to hand, try to keep your lost tooth in between your teeth and your gums until you get to us. The reason this is important is that your tooth is made up of living matter and if it’s left in the open for too long, your Milton Keynes dentist won’t be able to re-implant your tooth.

Emergency tooth extraction – do I need one?

A root fracture, an abscess, or severe tooth decay not only causes sever pain but often they will require the tooth removal procedure to protect your other teeth. If there is a risk of infection, time is of the essence and we will almost certainly need to remove it.

Please call us so we can investigate whether you need an emergency tooth extraction if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Severe pain in your teeth or gums
• Teeth feel really sensitive
• Tooth has become discoloured or it has darkened in colour
• You have a bad taste in your mouth and, no matter what you try, you can’t get rid of that taste
• It’s difficult to open your mouth because of really bad swelling
• You see pus or white fluid in your mouth
• Your tooth is unstable, loose, or easy to wriggle
