When to seek urgent help
Ask for an urgent or emergency dental appointment if pain is affecting sleep or daily life, if swelling is getting worse, if you have a knocked-out tooth, or if a crown, bridge, veneer, filling or denture has broken and needs attention.
Use NHS 111 online or by phone if you cannot get an appointment or you are unsure what to do next.
When to use A&E or 999
Go to A&E or call 999 for serious facial or jaw injuries, heavy bleeding that will not stop, severe swelling affecting breathing or eye opening, or head and face injuries with loss of consciousness, vomiting or double vision.
