Treatment

If you are experiencing a dental emergency, please contact us as soon as possible. Potential emergencies may include, but are not limited to any of the following:

  • Swelling in the mouth, face or gums
  • Severe pain in the mouth, face or gums
  • Bleeding from the mouth, face or gums

If you are experiencing any more serious symptoms such as rapid bleeding, nausea, vomiting, unconsciousness, trouble breathing or trouble seeing, please go to a hospital accident & emergency centre.

Process

Upon arriving at Limes Dental Practice in case of an emergency, our dentists will first seek to clarify the problem. They will then administer any necessary pain relief, before identifying possible treatment options. Depending upon the nature of your emergency, these treatments may be carried out following your initial examination, or they may be organised for a time in the near future which is most convenient to you.
