If you attend an emergency appointment and later proceed with the recommended permanent treatment, 50% of your emergency appointment fee will be credited toward that treatment. Emergency appointments focus on relieving pain, assessing the issue, and stabilising the tooth.

This ensures you receive immediate care when you need it, with added value if further treatment is required.

You should visit an emergency dentist if you experience sudden, severe dental pain, injury to your teeth or mouth, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection such as gum swelling or abscess. Delaying treatment can worsen the issue. At Ferry Dental Centre, our emergency dentist in Southampton is available to provide prompt care to relieve pain and prevent complications, ensuring your oral health is safeguarded.
To stop bleeding from a mouth injury, gently rinse your mouth with cold water, then apply firm pressure to the bleeding area using a clean cloth or gauze. Maintain pressure for 10–15 minutes without disturbing the clot. If bleeding persists or is severe, seek emergency care at Ferry Dental Centre immediately.

Contact Ferry Dental Centre without delay to arrange an emergency appointment. Our team will identify the cause and provide treatment to alleviate your pain and restore your oral health.
