What is a dental emergency in Gravesend, 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

Some of the more common dental emergencies that we see with patients from Rochester, , Medway, Gravesend 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.

I had full top and bottom full mouth dental implants here I'm so pleased with the results. Having been a patient here for over 20 years I highly recommend rik and his team for the excellent service I have had over the years.

My molars have been difficult for years, until I found Parrock Dental. I've been treated with respect and kindness and given the best treatment that I could've wanted.So far, I've had a couple of teeth rebuilt, rather than patched up, and I've had one implant.Dr Rik is so reassuring and professional and the whole team looks after you so well.I am very happy with my implant, it is comfortable and easy to use and keep clean, the colour blends into my mouth perfectly.I also discovered how useful dental hygiene treatment and advice is. I had no idea how to get rid of my swollen gums nor that you should have actual gaps between your teeth at gum level. I have always been to the dentist twice a year, however no one has talked about brushing at an angle between the gum and the tooth!Thank you Parrock Dental, I wish that I'd come to you years ago.

I've just completed my full mouth dental implant treatment with Rik. As somebody who suffered severe nervousness and anxiety about going to the dentist I couldn't have asked for better treatment.From the moment I walked into the surgery I felt relaxed and discussing my treatment plan with Rik and his team was completely stress free. Rik has a very relaxed manner and explained everything clearly even on the day of my surgery.My mouth was full of broken teeth with several missing altogether, I suffered pain when chewing and was very conscious of how my smile looked. That has all changed now and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Rik and the team.If, like I was, your teeth are in a mess, then don't hesitate to contact Parrock Dental & Implant Centres. They can and will sort you out!

After having two bridges fitted in my childhood these both failed at the same time requiring 4 implants (I also required two half crowns). I was new to the practice but found the staff welcoming, friendly, and very efficient. The treatment and end result has been exceptional - very pleased.

Superb dental surgery. I have just completed my implant journey with Dr Rik. The whole team at Parrock Street are expectional. I did have a phobia off dentists but since i walked into Parrock Street Dental over 15 years ago that phobia dissappeared and i enjoy now visiting the practice. I can not thank Dr Rik and his team enough, On the day off surgery i was very anxious but the team reassured me and Dr Rik approach made me feel at ease (I was panicing over nothing) Having implants was the best decision I have made. I can now smile without hiding my gaps and my confidences has grown. As soon as you enter the surgery your greeted with a warm welcoming and feel at ease instantly. Thank you Dr Rik and your excellent team.

How Rik and his Parrock Dental Team transformed my smile and my life.For many years, I suffered from ill-fitting partial dentures which created amajor problem with how I looked and felt about myself. Basically, I had lowesteem and on top of this not eating and chewing properly affected my healthand nutrition.When researching about dental implants I looked at the reviews of severaldental practices in the knowledge that I was looking for excellent reviewsand a local location and came across Parrock Dental's web site. I wasimpressed by their credentials, testimonials, and before-and-after photos. Idecided to give them a call and book a consultation.Arriving at the practice I still had trepidations about what I was embarkingon. First impressions of the practice were good and helped in that it wasfriendly and efficient. Then a meeting with a 'Practice Concierge' where Iagreed to go forward with a Dentist's consultation. Following variousx-ray's and scans I then met Rik the Dentist who really put me at ease andprovided a perfect treatment insight. This was all due to Rik's veryprofessional and friendly demeanour and all the way through he checked on myunderstanding of what was being proposed and this provided reassurance.The big day arrived and as I required a full arch on upper and lower jaws, Iknew that it would be a lengthy procedure and this I was afraid of anddoubts about. However, these were outweighed by the long-term benefits whichbecame my touchstone when receiving treatment. Using local analgesia anddistraction therapy along with continuing reassuring status checks I wasable easily get through the session. My reward being to view my newtemporary teeth at the end of it all.Following the treatment day, I have had check-ups and preparations for myfinal sets of implanted teeth. I now have my own unique smile and tomaintain this I regularly have Dental checks with Rik as well as scheduledHygienist visits. Well done to one and all.My take awaysExcellent dental unit with efficient staffDentist Rik and his team were on top of their game demonstrating tremendousskill, professionalism, and reassurance.Transformative experience and outcome - low esteem replaced by outgoingconfidence and natural eating habits regained.
