It happens to the best of us. We are going about our daily lives when all of a sudden, we are struck by an overwhelming discomfort under one of our teeth.<\/p>\n

\"emergency-appointment\"While almost everyone is aware of when it is time to visit their GP for routine conditions, or their A&E for emergency conditions, few people know when an emergency dental appointment is needed over a routine check-up.<\/p>\n

This presents an obvious problem for both the individual and the dental professional; the prospective patient may end up waiting with an uncomfortable condition for a longer time than necessary and when they finally get to their dental appointment, the dental professional may need to conduct a more serious procedure than initially required.<\/p>\n

At Plowman and Partners<\/strong>, we know that nobody wants to be on the receiving end of a dental emergency, but we are able to offer our patients emergency access to our dentist in Marylebone<\/a>. We will aim to see you on the same day as you contact us, as we know that time is of the essence when you have an urgent dental issue.<\/p>\n

But what scenarios warrant an emergency visit to our dentist in Marylebone<\/strong>? Read on to find out about our most commonly seen dental emergencies.<\/p>\n

Unmanageable discomfort<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discomfort is subjective but when we discuss emergency dentistry, we are talking about a disruptive pain that does not respond to over-the-counter painkillers and interferes with your day.<\/p>\n

It is vital you book an appointment to see our emergency dentist in Marylebone<\/strong> if you are experiencing an unusual level of discomfort; pain that resembles throbbing or burning need to be examined immediately, as this could indicate a dental abscess.<\/p>\n

Chipped tooth<\/strong><\/p>\n

A chipped tooth may seem like a minor issue but it requires urgent dental treatment, even if it does not hurt.<\/p>\n

A chipped tooth is more prone to cracking or breaking and needs to be seen by a dental professional who can repair cracks in the tooth and restore the chipped area.<\/p>\n

Sudden swelling<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swelling in the mouth is usually benign but requires an emergency appointment, especially if it is beginning to impact on your ability to breathe or is painful.<\/p>\n

Swelling could indicate an abscess, unerupted teeth or may be a sign of an undiagnosed condition; although disconcerting, it is always worth getting any unusual lumps and bumps looked at.<\/p>\n

Lost filling or crown<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fillings and crowns often fall out and it is important that you get to see a dental professional as soon as possible to have them restored.<\/p>\n

Delaying a visit to our emergency dental practitioner could expose the pulp of the tooth to bacteria, which could lead to a destructive infection – not worth the risk!<\/p>\n

Broken or damaged brace<\/strong><\/p>\n

As hardy as they are, metal braces are not immune to damage.<\/p>\n

If you suspect that your brace has become damaged, contact our emergency service immediately; we can assess the damage and temporarily reset the brace, so it is intact when you visit your orthodontist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
