Severe toothache, a knocked-out tooth, or a cracked filling can ruin a day fast. If you need an emergency dentist in Cairnlea, call us first so we can advise you and fit you in where possible.
Emergency dental care at Furlong Road Dental is for problems that cannot wait for a routine check-up.
What is a dental emergency?
- Swelling of the face or gums, especially with fever
- Uncontrolled bleeding after an extraction or injury
- A tooth knocked out or pushed out of position
- Severe pain that pain-relief medication does not settle
- A broken tooth with sharp edges cutting the tongue or cheek
Life-threatening swelling that affects breathing or swallowing needs an emergency department, not a dental chair.
What you can do while you wait
- Rinse gently with lukewarm water
- Use a cold pack on the cheek for swelling (10 minutes on, 10 off)
- If a permanent tooth is knocked out, hold it by the crown, keep it moist (milk or saliva), and contact us immediately
- Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum
