Some problems need a dentist.
Others need immediate medical help.
Dental care & advice
When to contact a dentist.
Ask a dentist or NHS 111 how soon you need to be seen.
01
Toothache that won’t settle
Severe pain, pain disturbing sleep, or pain that keeps coming back.
02
Swelling or possible infection
A growing swelling, a temperature or a suspected dental abscess needs prompt dental advice.
03
A damaged or missing tooth
An adult tooth that has been knocked out needs immediate dental attention. Call a dentist or 111 now.
04
A problem after treatment
Severe pain or bleeding after an extraction, or a broken or loose filling, crown, bridge or denture.
If you have any symptoms listed under immediate medical help, use that route straight away.
- Immediate medical help
Call 999 or go to A&E.
Get help immediately if you have:
- Difficulty breathing, speaking or swallowing.
- Major swelling in your mouth or neck, a swollen or painful eye, changes to your vision, or difficulty opening your mouth.
- Heavy bleeding from your mouth that does not stop.
- A serious face or jaw injury, or a head injury with loss of consciousness, vomiting or double vision.
Do not drive yourself to A&E. Do not wait for a Night Dentist callback.
Practical advice
While you wait
to see a dentist.
A few practical steps for common problems. They can help while you arrange care, but do not replace treatment.
- Ask a pharmacist whether paracetamol or ibuprofen is suitable for you. Follow the packet instructions and never exceed the recommended dose. Children under 16 should not take aspirin.
- Choose soft foods and avoid chewing on the painful tooth.
- Avoid sweet foods and very hot or cold food and drink.
- Clean gently with a soft toothbrush.
An adult tooth needs immediate dental care. Call a dentist or 111 now rather than waiting for a form response.
- Pick it up by the crown, the visible white part. Avoid touching the root.
- If dirty, gently rinse it in milk, saline or saliva.
- If it goes back into the socket easily, replace it and gently bite on a clean cloth to hold it.
- If you cannot replace it, keep it in milk or saliva in a container and take it to a dentist immediately.
Never put a baby tooth back in. Seek dental help even if you cannot find the tooth.
Contact a dentist for advice and a repair. If part of a tooth has broken off, keep the piece in milk or saliva in a container and bring it with you. The dentist may be able to reattach it.
If there is severe pain or an injury, call your dentist or 111 to find out how quickly you need care.
