Emergency Dentist in Coventry
Looking for an emergency dentist in Coventry? We can help you to find relief from your dental pain. Same day appointments are available in most cases, so you can quickly get your dental emergency under control.
If you’re in pain due to a dental emergency, Longfellow Road Dental can help.
When a dental emergency happens, the last thing you should try to do is ignore the pain. Dental issues rarely resolve on their own, and if the pain does go away, you can be confident it will return worse than before. You are also risking further damage to your oral health by ignoring dental emergencies. With our help, you can quickly get life back on track and avoid further pain and discomfort. The aim of an emergency dental appointment would be to quickly diagnose the problem and address the pain. Some treatment may be carried out on the same day, or you may need to visit again for follow-up treatment.
Is this a dental emergency?
You might be reluctant to call your symptoms a dental emergency, which can delay treatment. If you’re not sure if you are dealing with a dental emergency or not, look for your symptoms below:
If your toothache is sudden or severe, this should be investigated further. Pain in your teeth suggests there is either an injury or infection.
A knocked out tooth may be saved with swift treatment. We can also check for hidden damage to surrounding teeth and the jaw bone.
This condition could leave you with sharp edges that can cause damage and discomfort. Chipped teeth can also expose the sensitive nerve root.
This could indicate an abscess, which is an infection of the tooth root. If you have swelling in your gum, cheek or neck, make an appointment to see our emergency dental team.
If you have lost or broken a bridge, crown or filling, you should visit the dentist as quickly as possible. The sensitive tooth root could be exposed to damage or bacteria.
If you have had a dental procedure and the bleeding will not stop, even when you apply pressure with gauze, then you need to seek medical help.

If you’re in pain, you would qualify for an emergency dental appointment. If you’re not sure if you should wait for a routine appointment, call our reception team and let them know what is wrong. They will be able to advise you further.
There are steps you can take to manage dental pain while you wait to see a dentist. Start by rinsing your mouth with warm, salty water. You can also use over-the-counter pain medication to help manage pain and inflammation. Keep your head elevated, as this will help to prevent the pain from getting worse. You should also avoid warm compresses, as this can increase inflammation.
The purpose of an emergency appointment is to diagnose the issue and then provide relief from your pain. Some treatment may be carried out on the same day, such as fillings or extractions. You may also be asked to return to complete your treatment plan.
