Bring a list of your medications, medical history, any relevant dental records, and details of your symptoms or the incident. This helps the dentist quickly assess your situation and begin appropriate treatment.

Yes, if you have an infection or abscess, the dentist may prescribe antibiotics as part of your emergency care, but these are often combined with treatment to address the source of infection for lasting relief.

Signs of a dental abscess include severe, throbbing tooth pain, facial swelling, a pimple-like bump on the gums, fever, sensitivity to hot/cold, and a foul taste in the mouth. If you notice these symptoms, seek emergency treatment promptly. Fever and swollen lymph nodes can also be signs.

A loose or dislodged crown should not be ignored, as it can expose the underlying tooth to damage or infection. Contact Surbiton Dental for advice, as prompt repair or re-cementing is often recommended.

Avoid self-medicating beyond basic pain relief, do not try to glue or fix broken teeth/crowns yourself, and avoid eating in the affected area. Bringing a list of symptoms and info will help your appointment go smoothly.

If a tooth cannot be saved and extraction is the best option, it can often be performed the same day during an emergency appointment, based on your case and clinical assessment.
