Dental Emergency Glasgow

You never know when you might suffer a dental emergency. If you have a broken tooth, are experiencing severe mouth discomfort or having uncontrolled bleeding in the mouth or gums, you should see an emergency dentist right away. 

 It is The Park Practice’s policy to endeavour to make you an emergency dental appointment on the same day. Outwith normal practice hours, call our number and you will be directed to an emergency call-out service. Failing this, you can call 111 for direct contact to the emergency services.  

What is a dental emergency? 

A dental emergency can include a number of issues and it is all relative to the amount of pain and trauma you are experiencing. In general, we consider the following to count as dental emergencies; 

• Broken or missing teeth 

• Severe trauma to the mouth, gums or teeth 

• Uncontrolled bleeding after a recent extraction or procedure  

• Sudden swelling of the mouth or gums 

• Broken or badly damaged braces (such as the wires or brackets) 

• Damage to exiting crowns, dental implants or dentures 

Although this list covers the most common dental emergencies, we do not see it as exclusive. If you are experiencing large amounts of pain in the or around the mouth area, you should phone our practice immediately so we can assist you with your dental emergency.
