What is a dental emergency in Northfleet, Kent?

A dental emergency is classed as anything that causes you pain, trauma or bleeding to the teeth, mouth or gums.

Examples of dental emergencies include:

Constant toothache

A knocked-out-tooth

A chipped tooth

An abscess

An infection in the gum

Broken filling or crown

The emergency dentist will need to see you and assess the problem and your pain. They can then work out how to manage it. This might be with antibiotics or removing painful nerves under a local anaesthetic.

Advice for common dental emergencies in Kent

Some of the more common dental emergencies that we see with patients from Bexley, Northfleet, Crayford, Dartford and Kent include:

Toothache

A persistent toothache can be agonising. While awaiting your emergency dentist appointment, take paracetamol for pain relief.

Avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks. Rinse your mouth with warm salty water to ease discomfort. A cold compress may also help alleviate pain.

A knocked-out-tooth

This can be a traumatic experience. If you have sustained any other injuries during the fall you should go to A&E. If you have found the knocked-out-tooth, handle it carefully by only touching the crown and never the roots. Don’t wash or over handle it. Instead, keep the tooth inside your mouth or in a cup of cold milk and take it with you to the emergency dentist in Dartford.

This type of dental emergency is time critical – the quicker you can see the emergency dentist, the more likely the chance of saving your tooth. It is important that you phone the emergency dentist as soon as possible and let them know what has happened.

A dental abscess

A dental abscess is an infection causing pain, swelling, inflammation, and pus in your tooth, gum, or jaw.

While waiting for your emergency appointment, take paracetamol for pain relief and rinse your mouth with warm salty water. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Contact us promptly to schedule an emergency visit with our Northfleet dentist.

Had an appointment today at the Perry Street branch to have a filling sorted. I am a nervous person, but as soon as I come in Reena and Tracey on Reception are so friendly and approachable that I start to calm. I had an appointment with Laven who has a very calming presence, is understanding and patient when I asked questions. Very good experience

I’m a very nervous patient and I was seen by Dr Aurelia who literally made everything so calm and easy for me. I had to have a root canal and she explained step by step what was going to happen , she was very gentle and went out of her way to make sure I was ok every step of the way. The ladies in reception were also very supportive and I highly recommend this dentist practice and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Stephen R.
I was a very nervous patient who hadn’t been to the dentist in over 25 years. Chloe, Reena an Dr Taseen really made me feel relaxed and at ease. Can’t recommend them more highly. Parrock dental Perry street I can’t thank you enough. 👍
Kinga S.
I visited Parrock Dental rently and I have been told that my teeth need serious attention. The dentist took an Xray and went through every single problem with me providing details and options along with a full plan. Unfortunately, this came to a big cost after all. Indira who I met in the reception went beyond and above her role, looked deeply at my plan provided by the dentist and advised the best (and cheapest!) option for me. She has discussed and explained me every possibility available, counted monthly costs multiple times accordingly to each option. Indira has shown hudge patience and empathy. Her customer service (and everyone elses') was 100% amazing and would recommend the place to anyone! I haven't started my series of appointments yet but will update my review accordingly after all.

When you walk into parrock Street or their perry Street surgey. Your made to feel at home and I "HAD" a fear of dentists but I was put at ease and all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. I am going through the implant journey and it was the best decision I made. Can not praise them enough. I now enjoy visiting the dentist. Thank you Rik and your wonderful team. These are only my 2nd temps and never smiled so much.

Karen J.
Hi I am a very nervous patient when it comes to the Dentist. Just walking in the door let alone sitting in the chair. Rik and his staff were excellent. I have been to other dentist and actually not completed my treatment in the past. Pleased to say this was a different experience with Parrock Dental.
I had full implants top and bottom. Wow just writing this I can't believe I did it. It was a very long day as I had everything done in the day, hence all my remaining teeth out and came out with implants. My life has changed so much since. I'm able to eat what I want. As seriously my teeth were so bad I couldn't eat properly for afew years. I smile now as I stopped doing that aswell. My family and friends can't believe the difference in me. Another thing I'm able to do is go to the check ups without my husband. I could not do this before. I just got into such a state. Parrock Dental has really made the difference for me. Even on the morning of having them done I was having second thoughts as I was so frightened. I really highly recommend Rik and his staff. A big thanks for changing my life.
