We all understand the need to take care of our teeth and gums; brushing and flossing twice daily allows us to keep our teeth strong and healthy. This should help to ensure that we can use our teeth as intended, without feeling any pain or discomfort.

However, there may be times when we find ourselves in need of an immediate visit to the dentist due to pain or injury. Tooth pain is often quoted as one of the worst kinds of pain that we can experience. If you suffer from tooth pain, we at Farnham Road Dental Practice can provide you with emergencies & dental pain Guildford services and you can rest assured that our help will always be available to you.

We all understand the negative effect tooth pain can have upon anyone’s life. It can disturb our sleep patterns and make simple tasks, such as eating, drinking, or talking, hard work as we try to avoid further pain.

In cases of damage to the teeth caused by an accident

It is important to understand what you can do if you lose a tooth due to some form of trauma. Here, we are going to assume that the tooth has fallen out of its position, but you, as the potential patient, still have it in your possession. In cases like these, it is recommended that you first place the tooth in a sealed container of either milk or salt water as this will protect it from further harm.

At this point, you should contact our dental practice and attend an emergency appointment as soon as possible, taking the protected tooth with you. In some instances, it is possible to reinsert the tooth back into its position in the jaw. To achieve this, the tooth should be shielded from any more damage and you must attend an appointment immediately after your tooth has fallen out.

Do not live with tooth pain any longer

If you start to experience tooth pain, please do not ignore it as it can often be an early warning sign of another, more serious, issue. When you contact us at Farnham Road Dental Practice for our emergencies & dental pain Guildford services, the first thing we will do is prescribe some pain relievers. This should let you carry on using your teeth without severe pain, allowing you to get some much-needed sleep.

Once the pain issue has been addressed, we can then start to investigate its cause. At this point, our dentist will recommend a course of action that should resolve the underlying problem causing the pain.
