Dental Emergencies We Treat
for Wigston Patients
If you are suffering from severe toothache in Wigston and cannot get a same-day appointment locally, we are just 4 miles away and hold emergency slots every day. Toothache caused by decay, infection, or a cracked tooth will not resolve on its own. We use our on-site CBCT scanner to find the precise cause and treat it on the same visit, so you leave pain-free.
Call NowA dental abscess is one of the most urgent dental emergencies. If you have a throbbing pain, facial swelling, fever, or a bad taste in your mouth and cannot be seen in Wigston today, call us immediately. Our CBCT scanner maps the full extent of the infection in three dimensions so we can drain it and start the right treatment without delay on the same visit.
Call NowA broken or chipped tooth can expose the nerve and cause intense pain, or leave sharp edges that cut the tongue and cheek. Whether it happened during a meal, a sport, or an accident in Wigston, we can assess and stabilise broken teeth the same day. Bring any fragments wrapped in damp tissue or submerged in milk and call us before you set off.
Call NowIf a tooth has been completely knocked out, every minute matters. Place it back in the socket or store it in milk and call us straight away.

Bring the crown with you and avoid chewing on that side until you are seen.

If swelling is affecting your breathing or ability to swallow, go directly to A&E at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. Otherwise, call us now — we are just 4 miles from Wigston and will see you the same day.
Call NowPain around a previously root-treated tooth is often caused by a missed canal or a new infection that standard X-rays cannot detect.
