GDHTreatment guide
01
Care, made clearer
What to do when you need urgent dental help
Dental problems can change quickly, so reception will ask what happened, when symptoms began, whether swelling is present and how you are feeling generally. This information helps the clinical team prioritise safely.
An urgent appointment focuses first on diagnosis, pain relief and immediate risk. Definitive treatment may be completed at that visit or arranged separately depending on the problem, clinical time and your treatment choices. Appointment availability varies and cannot be guaranteed online.
Clinical noteAll treatment is subject to assessment. Results, suitability and timescales vary from person to person.
02
What matters

Broken tooth or restoration

03
Swelling or infection
Contact a dental service promptly, especially if swelling is increasing or you feel unwell.
04
Dental injury
Call as soon as possible after trauma; timing can affect the options available.

Useful answers
Frequently asked questions.
01Can I get a same-day emergency dental appointment?
We try to help urgent problems as promptly as capacity allows, but a same-day appointment cannot be guaranteed. Please call as early as possible for current availability.
02What if the practice is closed?
For urgent dental advice in Scotland when your dental practice is closed, contact NHS 24 on 111. If you have severe breathing difficulty or a life-threatening emergency, call 999.
03What should I do after a dental injury?
Call a dental service immediately and follow the clinician’s advice. Do not delay if a tooth has been knocked out, badly broken or moved.
04Will antibiotics cure toothache?
Antibiotics are not appropriate for every dental problem and do not remove the source of many toothaches. A dentist needs to assess the cause and recommend suitable treatment.
