Dental Emergency Gravesend

Dental emergencies often happen when you least expect them. Whether it’s a sharp toothache that keeps you up at night, a broken tooth after a fall, or facial swelling that just won’t go down – these situations can be painful and stressful. At Meopham Dental Care, as your trusted emergency dentist, we understand how worrying dental problems can be, and we’re here to help you get the care you need, quickly and with as little fuss as possible.

What Counts as a Dental Emergency?

A dental emergency usually involves sudden pain, bleeding, swelling, or injury that makes it difficult to eat, speak, or go about your day. This could affect your teeth, gums, jaw, or surrounding soft tissues – and it’s important to see a dentist as soon as possible.

Common Dental Emergencies We See

We regularly help patients with:

• Cracked, chipped or broken teeth.
• Knocked-out or loose teeth.
• Toothache and swelling in the mouth or face.
• Gum infections or abscesses.
• Bleeding gums.
• Wisdom tooth or jaw joint pain (TMJ).

Sometimes, dental emergencies come with other symptoms too, such as headaches, fever, or earache – all signs that your body is telling you something’s wrong.

We also see:

• Broken or lost dentures.
• Dislodged crowns, bridges or veneers.
• Lost fillings or loose dental work.
• Braces problems like broken wires or brackets.
• Infections around dental implants or under crowns.

What Causes Dental Emergencies?

Dental problems can crop up for many reasons – a knock during sports, biting into something hard, or even infections that build up quietly over time. Common causes include:

• Accidents or injuries.
• Bacterial infections.
• Cavities or gum disease left untreated.
• Worn-out fillings or restorations.
• Inadequate oral hygiene.
