Most of the time, you will go through your life with pleasant experiences with your teeth, gums, and mouth, so you will feel no discomfort whatsoever when talking, eating, or carrying out other everyday tasks such as sleeping.

This does not mean you should not seek to be informed about how to access help and advice should you find yourself suffering severe discomfort from your mouth, such as a bad toothache that keeps you awake at night. Understanding what a dentist can do to help you at times like these may be something you may wish to know in advance, so if the worst does happen, you can at least take comfort in the knowledge that you will be able to access the help you need sooner rather than later.

At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we have a service that aims to treat emergencies & dental pain Guildford in a way that will be acceptable to any of our patients. However, we know that many individuals are unaware of the sort of condition that constitutes an emergency, and even fewer are aware of the initial job of dentists in these cases.

Times to seek help

There are many people who will not approach dentists when they find themselves in cases of emergencies & dental pain Guildford as they often fear the worst, believing that at times like these, their dentist will just seek to remove any problematic teeth. This may not be the case because more often than not, the removal of teeth is a last resort, and there may be other treatment options available to you long before a tooth needs to be extracted.

If you find yourself being kept awake at night by a severe and persistent toothache, we would suggest that you contact our dental practice; ignoring the pain would only lead to a more severe issue and a lot more discomfort. You should contact us as soon as you can, preferably early in the morning, and as with most cases of this nature, we will seek to treat you on the same day.

Once you are at our clinic, we can start to identify the cause of any toothache you are experiencing, and this will help us to put together a treatment plan that meets your needs and resolves your issue. In cases where we find that the cause of your discomfort is an infection or abscess, we may decide to treat you with antibiotics before using any other type of dental treatment such as fillings or extractions. We will seek to clear up any infection before it is allowed to spread to other parts of your mouth.

For the next time

So the next time you have a painful toothache that hardly lets you sleep and makes your life miserable, you know you can contact our team to access our service for emergencies & dental pain Guildford.

At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we aim to promote good dental health at all times, and as such, we recommend regular check-ups.
