Emergency dental care

If you have toothache, a broken tooth that is causing you discomfort or have damaged your mouth in an accident, please give us a call on 01524 825218. If you call early in the morning we will try and arrange an emergency dental appointment for you for the same day.

As we work on an appointment system, all emergencies have to be fitted in between or after the existing appointments. We will try our best to minimise waiting time for emergency patients, but we respectfully ask patients to be aware that in some cases there may be an unavoidable delay.

Outside of practice hours patients may ring the usual practice number 01524 825218. The recorded message will then advise you how to contact the Hest Bank Dental Care team.

Whilst waiting for your appointment you may want to try the following steps to help you manage any dental emergencies:

  • If you are in pain, use an over the counter pain reliever such as paracetamol (unless advised not to by your GP)
  • Rinse your mouth out with warm water
  • Apply pressure on any bleeding areas using gauze or a wet teabag
  • 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

Whilst the above steps may help you manage any dental discomfort, it's still important to see a dentist ASAP in order to address the underlying issue and prevent further deterioration.

The clinician was very good at explaining what he was doing at each stage.

As always, fantastic service from all the team at the clinic. Jonathan Tolson always goes above and beyond and indulges my horrendous humour, which makes the whole experience way better. I sadly didn’t get the name of the dental nurse, but she joined in which was good. The hygienist, Emma(?) and her assistant were great as well, also joining in. Wish I could have treatments more often

The Hest Bank dental team go above and beyond to help you and ensure everything is the best it can be. Stuart Johnson my dentist was so caring, I had i bad reaction on my first treatment due to my fibromyalgia never happened before but then again never really had much treatment in past. I needed another treatment but the other side ,so I was very apprehensive obviously.. Stuart spoke other dentist and dental professors and read up as much as possible , we spoke many times and he sent emails with the info etc!! To make sure I didn't suffer.. I had the treatment on 11/8/25 and I haven't had any intense shooting nerve pain at all.. i hoping it continues.. I would highly recommend this practice Thankyou Stuart your a star
