Dental pain can occur unexpectedly and can make eating, sleeping and getting through the day extremely difficult.
At Crowborough Gentle Dental, we provide emergency dental appointments for both existing and new patients in Crowborough and the surrounding areas.
Whether you have severe toothache, a broken tooth, swelling, a lost filling or crown, or another urgent dental problem, our dental team will assess the problem, explain what may be causing it and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
We will always try to offer a same-day emergency appointment where availability allows.

You do not necessarily need to know what is causing the problem before contacting us.
If you are experiencing dental pain or something does not feel right, contact our team and we can advise you.
We commonly assess patients experiencing:
Toothache can have several causes, including tooth decay, inflammation or infection of the dental pulp, a cracked tooth, problems with an existing filling or crown, or problems involving the gums.
Rather than simply masking persistent pain, it is important to establish its cause.
A dental abscess requires urgent dental assessment and does not normally resolve without appropriate treatment.
Symptoms can include toothache, gum or facial swelling, tenderness, a bad taste, difficulty chewing or sensitivity.
The dentist will assess the source of the problem and discuss appropriate treatment.
If part of your tooth has fractured or cracked, contact us even if the tooth is not particularly painful.
Depending on the extent of the damage, treatment may involve smoothing or temporarily protecting the tooth, a composite filling, an onlay or a crown.
At Crowborough Gentle Dental, we have an on-site CEREC milling machine, which means that in suitable cases we may be able to design, make and fit a same-day ceramic crown without the need to send the restoration to an external laboratory.
This can be particularly useful when a broken tooth requires prompt restoration, although suitability will depend on the condition of the tooth and the clinical assessment.
A lost filling can leave the underlying tooth sensitive and vulnerable to further damage.
We can assess the tooth and determine whether a temporary or definitive restoration is appropriate.
If your crown or bridge becomes loose or falls out, keep it somewhere safe and contact the practice.
We can assess the underlying tooth and determine whether it can be recemented or whether another treatment is required.
If you have injured your mouth or teeth following a fall, accident or sporting injury, contact us as soon as possible.
Some dental injuries are particularly time-sensitive.
A knocked-out permanent adult tooth is a dental emergency and should be assessed as quickly as possible.
Call the practice immediately for advice.
Partially erupted or impacted wisdom teeth can sometimes cause pain, inflammation or infection around the surrounding gum.
We can examine the area, take appropriate X-rays where required and advise you on the appropriate treatment.
Some discomfort after an extraction is expected.
However, increasing or severe pain, swelling, signs of infection or bleeding that concerns you should be assessed.
A fractured or damaged denture can affect eating and may cause trauma to the gums or other tissues.
Contact us and we can assess the problem and advise you about the appropriate next step.
Our priority is to identify the source of your problem and help get you out of pain.
Your appointment will normally involve discussing your symptoms and relevant medical history, followed by an examination of the affected tooth or area.
Where clinically required, we may take small dental X-rays. These small X-rays are included in your emergency assessment fee.
Once we have established the likely cause of the problem, your dentist will explain the findings and discuss the available treatment options.
Where appropriate and where sufficient appointment time is available, treatment may be carried out during the same visit.
In other situations, we may provide appropriate emergency care to stabilise the problem and arrange a further appointment for definitive treatment.
Any additional treatment is charged separately and the relevant fees will be discussed with you.
You do not need to be an existing patient at Crowborough Gentle Dental to contact us about a dental emergency.
We welcome new patients who need urgent dental care.
If you have suddenly developed toothache, broken a tooth, lost a filling or crown, or developed another dental problem, contact our reception team.
