Dental Care For Emergencies in Tamworth
If you are experiencing a dental problem that needs urgent attention, getting it checked sooner can help prevent the situation from becoming more difficult to manage. At your emergency appointment, your dentist will assess the problem and focus on relieving the immediate source of pain and reducing the risk of further damage. Depending on what is causing the problem, the treatment provided during the emergency appointment may be temporary or focused on making you comfortable. You may then need to return for a follow-up appointment to complete further restorative treatment. If you are unsure whether your problem requires an emergency appointment, contact our friendly team and we can advise you on the next step.
When Should I Contact an Emergency Dentist?
If you are experiencing significant dental pain, damage to a tooth or another problem that feels urgent, please contact the practice rather than continuing to put it off. Our team can listen to what has happened and advise whether an emergency appointment is appropriate. Even if you are worried about what the dentist may find, there is no need to feel embarrassed. Our focus is on helping you feel comfortable, getting you out of pain where possible and deciding what needs to happen next.
Dental Pain
If you are experiencing dental pain that is difficult to ignore or is affecting your day-to-day life, contact the practice so we can advise you.
Damaged Teeth
If a tooth or existing dental work has become damaged and you are concerned about further deterioration, an emergency assessment can help determine the next step.
Sudden Dental Problems
Dental problems do not always happen gradually. If something changes suddenly and you are concerned, our team can advise whether you need to be seen urgently.

Contact the Practice
Call us and explain the dental problem you are experiencing.
Our team will ask for some information about what has happened and will try to arrange an appropriate appointment. Registered patients will always be offered a same-day emergency appointment where possible, and new patients may also be seen depending on availability.

Emergency Assessment
During your appointment, your dentist will carefully examine the affected area and assess what may be causing the problem. The immediate priority is to identify the source of your pain, help relieve your discomfort where possible and take appropriate steps to prevent any further damage.

Treatment and Follow-up
Where appropriate, treatment may be provided during your emergency appointment. However, emergency care is sometimes only the first stage of treatment.
