If you’ve lost a filling or crown, try to keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. You can use over-the-counter dental cement as a temporary solution, but it’s essential to book an appointment as soon as possible.
Yes, we aim to offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. Call us as early as possible for the best chance of securing a slot.
If you need urgent dental care outside our opening hours, our voicemail will provide instructions on how to access out-of-hours emergency dental services.
If your gums are bleeding heavily and the bleeding does not ease after gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze, this could be a sign of a more serious problem. In this case, you should seek urgent dental care. Contact Glandwr Dental Practice straight away so we can arrange prompt attention. For minor gum bleeding linked to brushing or flossing, try using a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinse with salt water. However, persistent gum bleeding should always be checked by a dentist.
If you have a toothache, rinse your mouth gently with warm salt water to help soothe irritation. Over-the-counter pain relief can offer temporary comfort, and applying a cold compress on the outside of your cheek may reduce discomfort and swelling. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the tooth or gums, as this can cause tissue damage. Toothaches can have many causes, so it is important to arrange an appointment at Glandwr Dental Practice as soon as possible to get the correct treatment.
Some dental issues require urgent attention, whilst others can be safely scheduled. Severe pain, a knocked-out or broken tooth, significant swelling, or uncontrolled bleeding should all be treated as emergencies, and you should contact Glandwr Dental Practice immediately. If your concern is minor sensitivity, a small chip, or something that does not cause ongoing discomfort, it is usually safe to wait for a routine appointment. When in doubt, call us and our team will advise you on the correct next steps.
