Pain & Emergencies
Dental pain has a small number of causes and a clear order of urgency. These guides explain what different kinds of pain, swelling and injury usually mean, what to do first, and which situations need to be seen the same day.
When to see us

- Pain with fever, or swelling that is spreading rather than settling
- A tooth knocked out or pushed out of position after an injury — time matters
- Pain that wakes you at night or does not respond to ordinary painkillers
