What to do when you have a dental emergency?

In some cases, what you do during the emergency can help us in the surgery. Here are some tips on what you can do during the most common dental emergency cases.

Lost filling

You’ll need to protect the exposed sensitive part of the tooth. Temporary fillings are available which you can use or you can use sugar-free gum and place this over the site before you see your Smilepod dentist.

Lost crown

If you still have the crown, you can use dental cement (which you can buy at a pharmacy) or sugar-free gum to stick it in place. Do not use superglue.

If your crown is broken, keep the piece you can find and make sure the exposed cavity is covered. 

Chipped tooth

Keep any pieces of your tooth and rinse your mouth with warm, salty water. If you have any swelling, a cold compress can help relieve the pressure. Gauze can stop any bleeding.

Knocked out tooth

Keep the tooth. We may be able to save it. Hold it carefully by the crown, take care not to touch the roots, and rinse it with water. Don’t scrub or remove any tissue. Put the tooth back into position or keep it in your mouth ( not advisable with children) – if you can’t, you can place it in some milk or salty water.

Lost baby tooth

If the tooth has damaged the gum or has broken, leaving parts of the tooth still in the gum, you should contact us. Child-friendly painkillers can sort out any discomfort.

Avoid re-implanting milk teeth as this could damage the new adult tooth.

An abscess

Please contact us first so we can arrange an appointment. You can help ease the pain by rinsing with warm salty water and apply a cold compress to ease any swelling. If you experience intense pain and have a high temperature, you should go to your nearest A&E department.

SO MUCH better than my usual NHS service. I chose smile pod because they were close to my office and had lots of appointments available outside my work hours. I am so glad I tried them as my teeth look amazing! Jasmin was so relaxing and friendly. Multiple tools used to clean my teeth with so much attention to the detail, my teeth look and feel amazing and I can’t stop smiling for real! ‘Classic clean’ - Natasja (I’ll be back real soon) xx

The entire team at Smilepod Moorgate is very professional and friendly. Seven years ago, I turned to Carine Borges to improve the aesthetics of my teeth, which she did excellently with a whitening treatment and a series of high-quality and durable composite bondings. Recently, I returned for a check-up, and only one of the bondings had to be redone, while the others are still doing great. I highly recommend Carine for both her professionalism and her human qualities.

Inga not only delivers first class teeth cleaning she has a warm, reassuring manner which really puts you at ease. Very skilled but gentle in her use of the instruments. I've tried 3 other Smilepods in London and Inga is the best. Top job.

I had a great hygienist experience with Roshni Goel. She was very gentle, professional and attentive. She was constantly checking if I was good through the session and she even had kindly gave me a call to check if I was good after the session. Highly recommended.

Had my teeth treated and composite bonding done by Anna - a very good experience. I think she is very good at her work and pays attention to the smallest detail. With Anna, you are in safe hands!

Cindy Sousa attended to me on my appointment back in December, and I couldn't be more grateful - I received a full cleaning service done to the highest of standards. She took her time to ensure I was happy with the outcome and was beyond kind and professional. I've been to SmilePod a few times and will ensure I book with Cindy going forward as the experience was top notch! Thank you! 🫶🏼
