A dental emergency is any situation involving sudden pain, trauma, or damage to your teeth, gums, or mouth that needs urgent attention. Common emergencies we treat at Cherrybank Dental Spa include severe toothache that won’t subside, a knocked-out or loose tooth, a cracked or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, swelling in the face or gums, bleeding that won’t stop, and damage from an accident or injury. If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us on 01738 505896. Our team will give you immediate advice over the phone and arrange an appointment as quickly as possible — we aim for same-day or next-day availability.
When you call Cherrybank Dental Spa with a dental emergency, here’s what to expect.

During your visit, our dentist will carry out a thorough examination, take any necessary X-rays, and provide the treatment you need to resolve the issue. If our practice is closed, a dedicated after-hours mobile number is available on our answering machine until 8 pm. A team member will return your call to provide guidance. For emergencies outside these hours, you can contact NHS 24 or call 111.

Sudden tooth pain can be triggered by decay reaching the inner tooth, a cracked filling, a gum infection, or pressure from grinding. It may also occur after trauma or from an infection building beneath the tooth. Temperature sensitivity or pain when biting often signals irritation of the nerve and should be checked promptly by a dental professional.
A dental emergency includes severe toothache, swelling, a knocked-out or broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, or an issue causing significant pain or affecting your appearance. If you’re unsure, call us for guidance.
Common signs include persistent pain, swelling in the gum or face, sensitivity to pressure, a bad taste, or pus near the tooth. Some people also experience fever or general discomfort. Early assessment helps stop the infection from spreading.
Carefully handle the tooth by the crown, rinse it gently with water, and try to place it back in the socket. If that’s not possible, store it in milk or saliva and contact us immediately for an emergency appointment.
A tooth infection does not clear on its own. While pain may reduce temporarily, the infection can spread deeper into the jaw or surrounding tissues. Professional treatment is needed to remove the source and protect overall health.
Yes. Baby teeth emergencies are managed with extra care for comfort and development. Treatment focuses on relieving pain, controlling infection, and protecting the developing adult teeth underneath, while considering the child’s age and stage of growth.
Tooth pain is considered an emergency if it is severe, worsening, or paired with swelling, fever, pus, bleeding, or difficulty eating. Pain after an injury or pain that disrupts sleep also needs urgent care to prevent further complications.
We do our best to accommodate same-day or next-day appointments for emergencies. However, availability can vary, so we recommend calling as early as possible to secure a spot.
In many cases, yes. Emergency care usually focuses on relieving pain or controlling infection. A follow-up visit allows the dentist to complete treatment, such as placing a permanent restoration or monitoring healing, to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
