London SE1 tackles a Dental Emergency

01 / 08 / 2013

London SE1 has quite a few hospitals within striking distance of the area and all will be furnished with an A&E where you can go in a crisis. Similarly, there are dentists in the area that carry out 24 hours treatments, or at least have a hot-line number to call in a crisis. The point of all of this is that if you are aware of where these places are, and have their numbers to hand, you will be in poll position to make calm and collected decisions should you find yourself in the middle of a dental emergency. With serious situations such as an eruption of an abscess or if you have a tooth knocked out, you need to get somewhere, anywhere fast and with all these numbers to hand, it will give you peace of mind to cope in the heat of the moment, so if you can’t get to one place, get to the next. Other minor emergencies such as chipping or cracking a tooth, losing a veneer or filling or having a viscous toothache can be tempered with painkillers and can wait until your dentist is free to see you. However, it is your health and seeing as you will be paying to reverse these types of emergencies, if anything is bothering you that much, then pick up the phone and get it fixed. Try to be calm in an emergency so that you can make rational decisions and don’t waste people’s time, but also, don’t settle for something that is uncomfortable either- it’s your life.
