Dental emergencies can happen without warning — during meals, sports, accidents, or even late at night. At Preston Dental Group, we offer emergency dentistry in Preston to help patients access fast care for pain, trauma, infection, or broken restorations. Common Dental Emergencies We See Patients often seek urgent appointments for: ✔ Toothache or nerve pain ✔ Broken or chipped teeth ✔ Avulsed (knocked-out) tooth ✔ Dental abscess or infection ✔ Swelling or bleeding ✔ Lost crowns or fillings ✔ Post-operative complications ✔ Trauma from sports or accidents Handling emergencies promptly can prevent long-term damage and discomfort. When to Seek Urgent Dental Treatment If symptoms include severe pain, swelling, difficulty chewing, or bleeding, same-day care is strongly recommended. Infection-related dental issues can worsen quickly, and in some cases spread to other areas of the body. Knocked-Out Tooth? Time Matters For avulsed permanent teeth, acting within 30–60 minutes significantly increases the chance of saving the tooth. Patients are advised to: ✔ Handle tooth by crown (not root) ✔ Rinse gently — do not scrub ✔ Store in milk or saliva ✔ Seek immediate dental care Emergency Appointments at Preston Dental Group Our clinic prioritises urgent cases and provides same-day emergency dental appointments to reduce pain and preserve oral health. Delaying care often increases complexity and cost — early intervention is key.
