Brings Toothache an end
At Emergency Dentist Edinburgh, our goal is immediate dental treatment and pain relief, so don’t suffer in pain, help is only a call away any day of the week.

Emergency Dentist Edinburgh provides the same day appointment for urgent dental care.
Protect your general health
Dental infections can cause a lot of anxiety, left untreated can cause complications and it can become a life-threating condition if the infection spreads to other parts of body. Swollen face is one of the examples which can arise very gradually over the course of a day or two, but sometimes can be rapid. It can arise due to a dental infections, dental abscess, allergic reactions, medications or chemicals, direct trauma, oral surgery, angioedema, gland blockage and cellulitis. Patient with severe infection and swollen face generally feels unwell. Seeing an emergency dentist as soon as possible protects the patient’s overall and general health.
Preserve natural tooth
Dental injuries can occur as a result of road accidents, dental trauma, playing sport or even biting down on a hard food. Injury like a knocked-out tooth can lead to the patient losing their natural tooth forever. A knocked-out tooth can typically be reattached if the person makes it to a dentist within an hour and tooth was stored in milk or saliva. A chipped tooth can cause injury to the tongue, become worse and lead to further breaking and damage a tooth with fillings. To avoid the risk of causing additional damage to your tooth and to preserve natural tooth, call your dentist or Emergency Dentist Edinburgh for an urgent dental appointment.
