Face 
Dentistry If you have severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding or swelling and it is out of working hours, please call the practice number 01275 842 550 and listen to the instructions.
There is a £250 call out charge to see a dentist and this includes basic treatment. Members of the practice do not pay this fee.
An avulsed tooth is a tooth that has been knocked out of its socket, this means it is either totally out and lying on the floor, or is hanging in the mouth by the nerve or thinly attached piece of tissue. If the tooth is still in place but loose or dislodged then this is not totally avulsed and the treatment is slightly different.
It is also worth noting that the information below is for an adult tooth, children’s teeth (deciduous) teeth are often knocked out much more easily but the implications are far less severe as they will have their adult teeth underneath. We’d still recommend visiting a dentist, but it is normally not an emergency and applying pressure to the bleeding socket should be sufficient along with some pain killers appropriate to the child age. If any other injuries are sustained or the person is unconscious at any point, even for a couple of minutes, seek medical advice.
The first thing to assess is the tooth itself if it is shattered then replacing it will be difficult. However, if it is in one piece it may be possible to replace it.
If the tooth has shattered, then try to gather all the pieces together and keep them in water to prevent them drying out. Then call us for an emergency appointment. We may be able to replant the tooth, but worst case is that the pieces can be used to help us as a guide when making a replacement tooth for you. We will do everything that we can to make sure you can smile again as soon as possible.

We are accepting new patients, book an introduction call today
Book An Introduction Call Why is my dentist taking photographs of my teeth?
“Why are you taking photographs of my teeth?”
A perfectly reasonable question.
Dental photographs aren`t just for before-and-afters.
They can help us record what we`re seeing, monitor changes, explain things more clearly and involve you in conversations about your own teeth.
Richard explains why you might see a camera appear during an appointment at Evolve.
Because when we`re talking about your mouth, we think it`s rather useful if you can see what we`re talking about too.
There`s more to a smile transformation than two photographs
A before-and-after shows you two moments.
What it doesn`t show is everything that happened between them.
The conversations. The planning. What the patient wanted to change. The different options considered. And the decisions about what not to change.
That`s why we think the story behind a smile is every bit as interesting as the finished result.
Every patient is different - and every treatment plan should be too.
Here`s one of the lovely transformations we`ve had the privilege of being part of at Evolve. 💚
What actually happens during a dental examination?
If it’s been a while since your last dental examination, not knowing what to expect can sometimes make booking that appointment feel like a much bigger deal.
So what actually happens when you come in?
Richard explains what your dentist is looking for during a dental examination - and why it involves much more than simply checking whether you need a filling.
Regular examinations give us an opportunity to keep an eye on your teeth, gums and mouth, talk about anything that has changed and identify anything that may need our attention.
And if you haven’t been for a while? Please don’t feel embarrassed.
We’re simply pleased you’ve decided to come and see us.
