Our clinic can provide same-day appointments for patients who need pain relief and treatment right away.

Getting you back on track after a dental emergency

Dental pain can be extremely challenging to endure, and intense pain that stops you from going about your day or that wakes you up at night is worth getting in touch over.

Should your bridges, dentures or crowns become badly damaged, this may constitute a dental emergency, especially if the damage is extensive. The same goes for braces. Should these become damaged, they could cause damage to the soft tissues in your mouth, and they will also inhibit your chewing and speaking ability.

Similarly, if you have lost your Invisalign® aligners, these will need to be replaced as soon as possible to avoid jeopardising the long-term success of treatment.

If a blow to the mouth has caused uninterrupted bleeding, this is a reason to contact us for an emergency appointment.

Intense wisdom tooth pain (often accompanied by a bad taste in your mouth) indicates that the teeth have become impacted. In some cases, we may be able to simply provide antibiotics to treat an infection in the area. However, if the teeth are seriously impacted, they will need to be taken out.

Swelling in the jaw area could indicate a serious dental infection (an abscess) or a blocked salivary gland. Both of these issues are classed as emergencies.

*If swelling is accompanied by breathing difficulties, please contact 999 right away.

FAQs

What emergency dental treatment might I require?

Common treatments we may suggest and provide following an emergency dentist appointment include:

An extraction (if the tooth has been knocked out and damaged or a dental infection is irrevocable).
Ongoing periodontal treatment.
Fillings and crowns.
Prescription of antibiotics.
Painkillers.

If it isn’t possible to save your tooth, we can advise you on your next steps for replacing the vacant socket left behind after an extraction (this isn’t applicable to wisdom tooth removal).

We may recommend an implant consultation so you can find out about the benefits of our most long-term tooth replacement solution.

Excellent service and treatment particularly as I'd arrived 24 hours ahead of my appointment! They fitted me in anyway to save me going back the following day which I was grateful for as I'm disabled. Always received excellent service.

I had a piece broken off a back tooth, no pain. They fitted me in very quickly.The Dentist and staff are all amazing. The dentist is very gentle and caring, he explains everything and gives options, not necessarily the most expensive.(As some dentists do). I would highly recommend them.

From the moment you walk into Ashbourne Road Dental you can’t help but notice how well decorated, clean and tidy the place is - people obviously care. Once in reception you are met by cheerful, friendly and helpful staff. I’ve only ever been treated by Tanzeel who is friendly and polite and who struck up a good rapport with myself and my wife. I’ve had a fair amount of dental work in recent times (to be expected at my age), but have to say that I have 100% confidence and trust in Tanzeel. He takes absolute pride in his workmanship, taking time to explain the options to you and gives you a little commentary throughout your procedure. There’s a bit of humour there too. Would definitely recommend this practice. Many thanks to the team, I won’t be going anywhere else.

Wow Wow Wow! Visited on an emergency appointment for a cracked tooth that was extremely painful and sensitive. Dr Tanzeel Ahmad was my hero and carried out an immediate painless extraction.

My daughter needed teeth out before braces were fitted and her newly privatised dentist quoted £560. Stressing about this cost especially in todays world, i immediately began looking for a new dentist. A friend referred me to Ashbourne Road Dental practice via Kerri, one of the receptionists.She was fabulous and got not only my daughter set up with an appointment but got the whole family set up here with an NHS dentist, which meant that it cost me nothing for my daughter to have her teeth out, which was amazing. Her appointment was also booked close to me ringing up, which was perfectA few appointments later, and we are still extremely happy. My daughters tooth removals went very well, and any appointments or treatments for the rest of the family have been great. The staff are all lovely and friendly and make sure they talk to my children, not just to me or my husband.My son had toothache for a few days and i rang up just after opening one day and he had an appointment an hour later.I would and have told people looking for a dentist to try here.

I wanted the right option for my circumstances to straighten my teeth. I got great advice and decided Invisalign was the right choice. All my concerns were answered and even an additional appointment to go through finer details were given to ensure I was happy and confident in my choice. The staff and dentists have been great. I look forward to my future visits as I'm just starting the Invisalign process.

Two teeth removed and preparation work for implants and a bridge. I was made to feel so at ease by my dentist, his use of technology in the scanning and investigation stages of my treatment showed how much dentistry has moved forward recently. I’d recommend these people for any works that you may need doing

Been attending this dental practice for over 2 years now. They are fab, couldn't ask for a more compatonate team. They are all very welcoming and put you at ease. Asked about retainer's in my appointment and they did the moulds there and then, that made my life so much easier even though i was fully prepared to book a separate appointment for them.The practice is clean and very well presented over all i highly recommend them.

I joined Ashbourne Dental after moving to the area. I’m very impressed with the level of care and quality of work by Dr Ahmad. He has been clear and transparent in explaining the process and treatment needed whilst also making me feel comfortable and at ease during the treatment. I had some major treatment and didn’t have any pain or discomfort. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr Ahmad for anyone looking for a new dentist!

I have been visiting this dental practice for years now and in that time had a number of different dentists. My present, Dr Dawud Ahmad is keeping up the tradition of excellent service with a very friendly manner which puts me at ease.I especially like that he takes that little extra time on my six monthly checkups to give my teeth a quick clean, creating the feeling of value for money as well as a great service.

Matthew Dedman

Incredible experience, as someone that was very nervous about visiting the hygienist, Dawud and the team put me at ease from the moment I walked in! They were happy to answer my questions and supported me with my flossing technique. Thankyou!!

We had the dentist come to nursery to speak to our pre school children for national oral health day. The staff were amazing with the children talking to them and showing them how to clean their teeth correctly.

My first dentist appointment in 5 years. Always been a very nervous patient and the last dentist I saw made me feel so horrific about myself and I've been petrified since. Today was so totally different. Both staff in the room made me feel comfortable, I became upset as soon as they called my name and they sat me down with a glass of water, told me to forget about the appointment for a moment and had little chat to help calm me down. They asked if I was with someone and then fetched my husband from the waiting room to make me feel more comfortable. They were incredibly compassionate and made me feel more at ease than I've ever felt in my life at a dentist. Everything was explained to me clearly and they've made me feel so much better about my dental situation that I cried again from relief. I'm still nervous but they have put me at a lot of ease about actually going to see them regularly. Thank you so much Tanzeel & Selvi 💜

To be honest, the treatment staff is very respectful, welcoming and friendly, and they offer and implement the best suggestions for treating your teeth, they follow the hygiene tips well, and they try to make your appointment as soon as possible. They will arrange the next meeting, in general, I would like to thank Mr. Hassan Rahman, the dentist, for giving me a beautiful smile🙏

Not my usual dentist but I was away from home when I chipped my front tooth and wanted it fixed asap. I managed to get an emergency dentist appt at Ashbourne road dental at short notice hoping for a temporary solution until I was back home and could see my own dentist. Not only was I able to be seen but I actually had a high quality painless and permanent fix on the day at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service that exceeded all expectations from Dr Hasaan and the rest of the staff were extremely friendly too. I don't live in Derby so probably won't be back but I would recommend this practice to anyone that does :)

Jashan Atwal

15:18 14 Oct 23

I was not one that enjoyed going to the dentist, but since being at this practice it has been so much more easier. My dentist (Dr Rahman) makes me feel at ease and explains any treatment that might be needed. All the staff are great and helpful.

Terry Harrop

17:06 21 Sep 23

I was seen promptly and was dealt with kindness and courtesy. It was explained that esthetically my implants would look better if I had a graft onto the lower gum. I said I was not interested however as the lower teeth were not visible at any time, even when laughing, so the Dentist was happy to proceed on the basis that the implants would be visible, but only to me! I was then given an appointment for the proper teeth to be fitted after numerous photos were taken.

Terry Campbell

13:31 18 Sep 23

Absolutely amazing, I have never been more at ease for a dental procedure. I have autism and ADHD and never have I found a dental practise so welcoming and understanding. They listened to what I needed and adapted accordingly. No pain, clear instructions, friendly staff and very prompt appointments. I’m one of the most nervous patients but I would happily go back again. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.
