At Taunton Dental & Implant Centre, we provide expert emergency dental care in a welcoming and modern environment — with appointments available without delay.
Dental emergencies can happen unexpectedly, and your regular dentist may not always be able to see you at short notice. That’s where we come in. Our team is ready to offer prompt, professional treatment for urgent dental issues, helping you find fast relief and the care you need when it matters most.
What is a Dental Emergency?
A dental emergency involves any situation that causes severe pain, sudden injury, or damage to the teeth, gums, or mouth. Prompt treatment is often necessary to prevent complications. Common dental emergencies include:
- Severe Toothache: Intense, persistent pain may signal an infection or advanced tooth decay.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: Immediate care—ideally within an hour—can increase the chances of saving the tooth.
- Broken or Cracked Teeth: Damage can expose the inner tooth, leading to pain and a higher risk of infection.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Without protection, the affected tooth may become more sensitive or suffer additional damage.
- Abscess or Infection: Swelling, pain, and fever may indicate a serious infection that needs urgent dental treatment.
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
- Toothache: Rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress to help reduce any swelling.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If possible, gently place the tooth back in its socket. If not, keep it in a container of milk and bring it with you to our office immediately.
- Broken Tooth: Collect and save any broken fragments. Rinse your mouth with warm water, and if there’s bleeding, apply gauze to control it.
- Lost Filling or Crown: Keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side until you can be seen by a dentist.
