Do I need emergency dental treatment?
Some dental issues are severe and require immediate attention to treat the issue before it gets worse and causes permanent damage.
So, what's considered a dental emergency? If you have any of the following symptoms, you must make an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible:
- Severe pain
- Dental abscesses
- Knocked out teeth
- A badly broken or cracked tooth
- Swollen gums or jaw
- Infection
- Bleeding that doesn't stop
How long does it take to get an emergency dentist appointment?
At our emergency dentist in South Wales, we work on an appointment system, so all emergencies have to be fitted in between or after the existing appointments.
We try our best to minimise waiting times for emergency visits, but we respectfully ask patients to be aware that there may be an unavoidable delay. During out-of-practice hours or bank holidays, patients should ring the usual practice number on 01600 712020. The recorded message will advise you on how to contact the Mayhill Dental and Specialist Centre team.
What to do in a dental emergency
Whilst waiting for your urgent care dentist appointment, you may want to try the following steps to help you manage any dental emergencies:
- Rinse your mouth out with warm water
- Apply pressure on any bleeding areas using gauze or a wet tea bag
- Apply an icepack to your cheek if there's any swelling
- If you have access to it, cover any major cracks with temporary dental cement
- Cover any broken teeth with milk, saliva or saline solution
- If you are in pain, you can use over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol (unless advised not to by your GP).
Whilst the above steps may help you manage any dental discomfort, it's still important to see a dentist ASAP to address the issue and receive advice to prevent further deterioration.

How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
The cost of urgent dental treatment at our emergency dentist in South Wales varies depending on the complexity of each case and if the appointment is out of hours.
With this in mind, the dentist will have to examine you first to give you an accurate price estimate. To book an emergency appointment, please call us on 01600 712020, and we'll get you booked in.
What's the difference between urgent and non-urgent dental issues?
Not sure if your dental issue is an emergency? We advise that you visit our emergency dentist if your level of pain is severe, you have bleeding that won't stop or you've experienced trauma or swelling.
Chipped teeth, dull aches and mild sensitivity are examples of issues that aren't considered urgent, but you should still book a non-emergency dental appointment for assessment.
What happens during an emergency dental visit?
During an emergency dental appointment in South Wales, your dentist will examine your teeth and mouth to assess the problem. X-rays will be taken if needed, and a diagnosis will be provided.
If you're in a lot of pain, pain relief such as a local anesthetic will be provided to help you feel more comfortable.
Then, your dental professional will look to treat the oral problem at hand. Some treatment procedures can be completed during the emergency appointment, depending on the issue. Afterwards, you could also be prescribed antibiotics to treat infections.
