Toothache keeping you up at night? Broken tooth after biting into something? When dental pain strikes, it’s hard to ignore. At Dartmoor Dental, we’re here to provide fast, expert help when you need it most with our dedicated emergency dental care.


If you’ve been searching for an emergency dentist in Tavistock, here’s everything you need to know about when to get in touch and how we can help.


What Counts as a Dental Emergency?


Not sure if your situation qualifies as a dental emergency? If you’re in pain or have suffered trauma to your teeth, it’s always best to speak to a professional.

Common reasons to book an emergency dentist appointment include:


  • Severe, persistent toothache

  • Cracked, broken, or knocked-out tooth

  • Swelling in the mouth or jaw

  • Bleeding that won’t stop

  • Lost fillings or crowns causing pain

  • Infections or abscesses


Even if your symptoms seem mild, dental problems can worsen quickly. Our team is here to assess the issue and offer same-day care whenever possible.

What Happens at an Emergency Appointment?


Your appointment with our emergency dentist will begin with a thorough assessment. We'll identify the source of the problem and take any necessary radiographs to get a complete picture. Treatment may include:


  • Pain relief and temporary dressings

  • Tooth extraction if absolutely necessary

  • Antibiotics for infections

  • Temporary or permanent restorations (e.g. fillings or crowns)


Our goal is always to relieve your discomfort and prevent further damage.
