Our dental practice in Queen Square, Bath, is open for pre-booked appointments on weekdays. If you need urgent treatment without an appointment during our opening hours we will always do our best to give you a slot for an emergency consultation with one of our dentists on the same or next day.
If you are in pain our team will be able to give you advice about how to relieve it until you can see the dentist at the earliest opportunity.
It helps us to organise emergency appointments more conveniently if you give us a phone call first rather than just arriving at the surgery. We don’t want to have to keep you waiting in pain and discomfort in the waiting room until a dentist is available to see you as a matter of urgency.
For dental emergencies outside of our opening hours please call the NHS helpline on 111, who will be able to suggest interim measures to help you until our surgery is open.
We would recommend that you don’t attend an Accident and Emergency unit with toothache or a broken tooth because doctors aren’t always equipped to treat dental emergencies of this nature. If you are experiencing severe swelling or uncontrolled bleeding in your mouth or some other condition you believe may be life-threatening outside of our surgery hours, then an A&E visit is advisable.

For outside our opening hours
Pain is usually the impetus that drives us to the dentist for urgent treatment. This could be the result of infection, an injury to the mouth or teeth, or perhaps complications following a dental procedure.
You should seek urgent help for things like:
If you believe you need a dentist appointment as a matter of urgency please get in touch with our surgery and we’ll do our best to help you.
Unfortunately accidents happen so avoiding dental emergencies completely is not possible. You can, however, spare yourself the pain and trauma of suffering the sudden onslaught of intense toothache or having a tooth damaged or torn out by taking some ongoing preventive measures.
It pays to be mindful of your teeth as you go about your daily activities, make sure you practice good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental check-ups, even if you think your teeth are healthy.
Our dentists recommend wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard when taking part in contact sports or activities where there’s a risk of facial industry.
Avoid using your teeth as tools for opening bottles, tearing packaging or cracking nuts, and be cautious when eating hard foods that could end up with you fracturing your teeth.
If you tend to grind your teeth (especially at night) – a condition called bruxism – speak to your dentist about obtaining a guard to wear at night to protect your teeth.
If you have any questions about how to maintain your oral health at an optimal level we’ll be happy to advise. Prevention is definitely better than cure when it comes to dental emergencies.
