What To Do In A Dental Emergency At Christmas Time - Meliora Dental | Dentist in Leeds, Yorkshire

Christmas is one of the most stressful times to be hit with a dental emergency, mainly because it can be incredibly hard to access timely emergency care to get you out of pain and back in good health again.

Meliora Dental in Leeds will be available to care for you if you find yourself looking up “private emergency dentist” over the festive period.

We will be open as normal over the festive period.

On Bank Holidays, please contact 07983133622 for an emergency dentist appointment

You will be triaged over the phone

Below is some further information that we hope you will find useful if you are unlucky enough to experience a dental emergency this Christmas.

What Counts As A Dental Emergency?

Know the signs of dental emergencies so you can seek timely treatment that will get you pain-free again as soon as possible:

One of the most common dental emergencies we see at Christmas time is broken teeth due to biting on foreign objects (ice in particular)!

Many dental emergencies that occur over the festive period can also involve alcohol, so we encourage you to be prudent with your teeth if you are consuming a little more alcohol than usual.

Please remember that any symptoms which prevent you from breathing normally warrant a 999 call. Go straight to your local A&E if your symptoms suddenly inhibit your breathing.

What Doesn’t Count As A Dental Emergency?

If you experience any of the symptoms above, please contact us for a routine appointment, and our dentists will resolve these for you in a timely manner.

What To Do In A Dental Emergency At Christmas Time

If you find you are experiencing signs of a dental emergency, you should contact a private emergency dentist right away.

Here at Meliora Dental, we will be available for emergency appointments throughout the festive period.

How Our Emergency Dentist Appointments Work

Step 1)Contact our practice on 01132 490795 to book an emergency appointment with an emergency dentist at Meliora Dental. We recommend calling as early as possible after the emergency incident has occurred.

Step 2)We will ask you about your symptoms and what your current pain level is. We will arrange to see you within 24 hours, but generally, the dentist will be ready to see you much sooner. We may give you some care advice to follow while you wait for your emergency appointment time.

Step 3)Your dentist will examine you and diagnose the problem. Antibiotics and painkillers can be provided if clinically necessary.

Step 4)We may need to invite you back for a follow-up appointment. Your dentist will let you know if this is necessary at the end of your emergency dentist appointment.

Please note that we do not offer NHS emergency dentist appointments. If a dental emergency occurs out-of-hours (such as in the middle of the night), we recommend contacting 111.

Why Choose A Private Dentist For Emergency Dental Care?

As a private dental practice, we are at an advantage compared to what NHS dental establishments can offer. Some examples include:

Longer appointments to thoroughly examine and diagnose the issue

Appointments are available in under 24 hours (sometimes as quickly as within the hour).

State-of-the-art diagnostic technology to show you a visual colour-coded image of exactly what the problem is.

Minimally invasive protocols are used to make sure you are comfortable while we alleviate your pain levels.

In some cases, we can perform the restorative treatment you need at your emergency dentist appointment. For restorations like crowns, we will need to invite you back for a second appointment. Rest assured, your condition will be stabilised during your emergency appointment.

We can accept both practice members and non-members for emergency dentist appointments over the festive period.
