SAVE MONEY. SMILE MORE.
If you need emergency treatment, you can book an emergency appointment online by using the BOOK ONLINE link on this page, or call us on 0151 295 9870 during practice opening hours. Emergency appointments are £59 each, which covers:
-
Emergency assessment.
-
X-rays.
-
Treatment diagnosis.
-
A written prescription (if required).
Any treatment costs can be determined once assessed. Emergency treatment is carried out in the same visit, provided there are no medical contraindications.
For cases of severe trauma due to an accident a patient will most likely need to return for further treatment at a later date, due to the amount of treatment usually involved. Where a patient requires removal of a painful wisdom tooth, they can be referred to a specialist oral surgeon, there is no additional charge for referral.
I'm a new patient, can I still be seen in an emergency?
Yes, even if you're from abroad and holidaying in the UK. Simply book an emergency appointment online 24/7, or call us on 0151 295 9870 during practice opening hours.
What will happen at my emergency appointment?
Your dentist will carry out an emergency assessment, including x-rays and tests to diagnose the problem. They will then inform you of the most suitable treatment options, and the associated costs of each option. Once a treatment option has been agreed, this will then be carried out. A written prescription will also be provided, if required. Please note: For cases of severe trauma due to an accident a patient will most likely need to return for further treatment at a later date, due to the amount of treatment involved. Where a patient requires removal of a painful wisdom tooth, they will be referred to a specialist oral surgeon, there is no additional charge for referral.

Managing painful wisdom teeth
Wisdom tooth pain is usually caused by inflammation of the gum over the erupting tooth. Most flare ups can be managed at home by using painkillers, and they should settle in a few days to a week. Always follow manufacturers guidance when taking painkillers. If you have difficulty swallowing, swelling in your face or cheek, or difficulty opening your mouth please visit A&E at your nearest hospital.
