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 01296 434848. 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 01296 434848. The recorded message will then advise you how to contact the Temple Square Dental 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, its still important to see a dentists ASAP in order to address the underlying issue and prevent further deterioration.

I’m a denplan patient always feel my needs are put first and if I have an emergency they fit me in. Aaron especially is amazing and does the very best he can for me. As well as Becky she is always so friendly and Sarah too. Thank you.

Everyone is lovely in the surgery. Brilliant interpersonal skills by all. Feel so clean after seeing lucie the hygienist! then saw James - he did a thorough check and then listened to my request for a broken tooth to be built up - as his next patient hadn't turned up he did it then and there. Highly delighted with the result!

After much consultation with Aaron, we agreed the best approach was a 4 teeth bridge removal and an extraction of a previously root filled tooth that, after 25 years had had enough! As always, Aaron took plenty of time to carefully explain the options and pros & cons of each course of treatment. During the procedure Aaron kept me fully informed at each stage and, whilst not pleasant, it was significantly less traumatic than I had imagined. His care and support has never been in doubt and I have every confidence in him as my Dentist.

I’ve received excellent care at Temple Square Dental since joining. I’d previously had a bad experience with another dental practice (not at Temple Square), so I was quite nervous at first. Dr Aaron Landau (Dentist) completely changed how I feel about going to the dentist. He’s highly skilled, incredibly gentle, and explains everything with great care and patience. He made me feel completely at ease throughout my visits and major root canal treatment, and any discomfort during the procedure was very minimal, with hardly any pain at all. Natalie Brabin (Dental Nurse) was so kind, reassuring, and highly professional, creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere from start to finish. Sarah Jones (Treatment Co-ordinator) was also fantastic, highly efficient and professional. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, ensuring everything was clearly explained and well organised. The best dentist I’ve ever had and highly recommended.
