In need of emergency dental care?
There are times when you need to see an emergency dentist quickly, such as after a dental injury or when severe toothache strikes. At our Garstang practice, we do our very best to offer same-day emergency dental appointments for our registered patients whenever possible. By getting in touch with us early in the morning, we can often arrange a same-day visit to relieve pain and address your concerns as quickly as possible.
All patients welcome
We’re happy to see unregistered patients, too, as there is a limited availability of emergency dentist appointments each day.
If you think you require emergency dental care, please call our reception team in Garstang on 01995 605 707 as soon as possible.
How Can Our Emergency Dentists in Garstang Help?
At your emergency appointment, our priority is to ease your pain and help you feel comfortable again. Dental emergencies can be upsetting, whether you’re dealing with sudden toothache, swelling or an injury to the mouth. Once your immediate symptoms are under control, we’ll talk you through any further treatment that may be needed. For issues such as decay, chipped teeth or broken fillings, a dental filling is often the next step in restoring and protecting your tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any issue causing significant pain, swelling, bleeding or trauma to the teeth or mouth. This can include severe toothache, dental injuries, knocked-out or broken teeth, swelling of the gums or face, and lost fillings or crowns that cause discomfort. If you’re unsure whether your problem is an emergency, it’s always best to contact us for advice.
Can I get a same-day emergency dentist appointment near me?
We aim to offer same-day emergency appointments for our registered patients whenever possible. By calling us early in the morning, we can often arrange a same-day visit to help relieve pain and assess your dental concern as quickly as we can.
How can I manage severe toothache until I see a dentist?
If you’re experiencing severe toothache, gentle self-care can help ease discomfort until your appointment. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, avoid chewing on the painful side and keep the area clean. Over-the-counter pain relief may help, but avoid placing medication directly on the tooth or gums. Most importantly, contact us as soon as possible so we can provide the care you need.
