Our Emergency Dental Care Objectives

Our primary goals are to quickly relieve your pain, stabilize damaged teeth and surrounding tissues to prevent worsening, and offer temporary relief, allowing you time to arrange any additional treatment needed.

Fractured teeth occur when a tooth is cracked or broken due to trauma, decay, or biting hard objects. The severity of the fracture can range from a small chip to a deep crack that affects the tooth’s pulp. Symptoms include pain, sensitivity to temperature, or visible cracks. Treatment depends on the fracture’s size and location and may involve fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, or extraction in extreme cases. Timely dental attention is essential to prevent further damage and infection.

An abscess is a pocket of pus that forms due to a bacterial infection, often around a tooth or gum. It can cause severe pain, swelling, and sensitivity in the affected area. The infection usually results from untreated tooth decay, gum disease, or trauma. Common symptoms include throbbing pain, swollen lymph nodes, fever, and a bad taste in the mouth. Treatment typically involves draining the abscess, antibiotics to clear the infection, and addressing the underlying cause, such as a root canal or tooth extraction. Prompt dental care is crucial to prevent the infection from spreading.

Bleeding gums are a common sign of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), often caused by poor oral hygiene that leads to plaque buildup. Other causes include hormonal changes, certain medications, smoking, or vitamin deficiencies. Symptoms include gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, swelling, redness, and bad breath. If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. Treatment involves improving oral hygiene, professional dental cleanings, and in more severe cases, scaling or root planing. Early intervention is key to preventing more serious complications.

Losing a denture can be distressing, but it’s important to remain calm. If you lose your denture, try to locate it as soon as possible. If it’s not found, avoid using makeshift replacements, as they can damage your gums or remaining teeth. In the meantime, you can use a temporary adhesive or soft liner to help with comfort, but it’s best to contact your dentist immediately. They can either provide a replacement or adjustments. Regular check-ups and proper care can help prevent future problems with dentures.

Losing a dental crown or bridge can be uncomfortable and may leave your tooth exposed to damage or sensitivity. If you lose a crown, try to retrieve it and contact your dentist right away. In some cases, the crown can be re-cemented, or a new one may need to be made. For bridges, it’s important to avoid chewing on the affected side to prevent further damage. If the crown or bridge is lost, do not attempt to fix it yourself with glue, as it can cause more harm. In the meantime, you can temporarily use dental wax to protect the exposed tooth. Prompt dental attention is crucial to prevent complications and restore proper function.

Losing a dental filling can leave the affected tooth vulnerable to further decay, sensitivity, or pain. If you lose a filling, try to keep the area clean by gently rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater. Avoid chewing on the side with the lost filling to prevent further damage. If possible, save the filling and bring it to your dentist, as it may be able to be re-cemented. In the meantime, you can use temporary dental filling materials available at most pharmacies to protect the tooth until you can see your dentist. It’s important to get the filling replaced as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tooth and avoid infection.

Wisdom tooth pain is a common issue, particularly when the teeth are erupting or becoming impacted (unable to fully emerge from the gums). The pain may be sharp, throbbing, or constant and is usually felt at the back of the mouth. Common causes include infection, inflammation, impaction, or crowding of adjacent teeth. Symptoms may include swelling, tenderness, gum irritation, bad breath, or difficulty opening your mouth.

A root canal is a dental procedure used to treat infection or damage within the pulp (the soft tissue inside a tooth). It is usually needed when a tooth has a deep cavity, crack, or injury that allows bacteria to reach the pulp, causing pain, swelling, or abscesses. Symptoms indicating the need for a root canal include severe tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling around the tooth.

Urgent Care for Dental Emergencies

A dental emergency involves situations where immediate care is needed to relieve pain, stop bleeding, or save a tooth. Common emergencies include severe toothache, fractured or knocked-out teeth, swelling in the mouth or face, and lost fillings or crowns. Prompt treatment not only helps alleviate pain but also prevents further complications. Seeking timely dental care is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome for your oral health.

Patient Testimonials

Friendly and professional service. Not my dentist, but prompt emergency appointment obtained on a Saturday, which saved me a long weekend of very painful toothace!
Sandy Sahota
Jack has done an awesome job in straightening my teeth. I’ve been seeing him for two years and now have a perfect smile. Jack went over and above when I had an accident and I thought I had broken my tooth but thanks to Jack it was saved. He is an excellent orthodontist and I would highly recommend him. Everyone at the practice is caring and professional, they really do provide great customer service. Finally a big thanks to Ali who also saw me a few times at short notice.

I highly recommend Regency House Dental clinic. They are really professional. Dr Ahmed Naji is really patient, especially if you are someone who gets anxious going to the dentist. Many thanks for all your hard work, advise and patience.

I have been with Regency House Dental Clinic for 2 years and I'm very happy with their service from the beginning to the end. Their receptionists are extremely polite, their booking system is effective and they send you reminders for your appointments. As regards the dentists and hygienist, I have been very happy with them. They have always communicated clearly before and after the procedure and they were even able to explain and correct some issue caused by perhaps a less experienced dentist from another place. I'm also impressed with the high-tech they use and in fact also the very reasonable cost of their services. I can recommend them to anyone looking for a great dentist/dental hygienist!
