A broken tooth can range from a small chip to a fracture that exposes the nerve. Either way, sharp edges and exposed tooth structure need protecting quickly. Our broken tooth emergency Cheadle service offers same-day appointments from £35.
Typically Responded to within 24 hours
Not every break feels the same. Not every break looks serious from the outside either. If any of the following apply, please contact our broken tooth emergency Cheadle team today.
Pain, especially if it is constant, often means the break has reached the nerve inside the tooth.
A break that does not hurt yet can still be a broken tooth emergency. The exposed area is vulnerable to decay and further fracture.
A jagged edge can repeatedly injure soft tissue inside your mouth until it is smoothed or repaired.
New sensitivity in a broken tooth often means the inner dentine layer, or the nerve, has been exposed.
Discomfort under pressure can mean the remaining tooth structure is unstable, even if the break itself looks small.
If a tooth feels rough, uneven, or just not right compared with its neighbours, it is worth having checked, even without pain.
Our priority is to protect what remains of the tooth and relieve any pain. We then plan the best long-term repair, and every broken tooth emergency Cheadle patient receives a clear treatment plan before any work begins.
If the tooth is painful, we numb the area before going any further so you are comfortable throughout.
We examine the break closely. An X-ray checks whether the nerve, root, or surrounding bone has been affected.
We explain the extent of the damage and your options. These range from bonding to a crown to root canal treatment. We also confirm the cost.
Depending on the break, we may smooth and bond the tooth, fit a crown, or carry out root canal treatment, often in the same visit.
We give you guidance on protecting the repaired tooth and arrange any further visits needed to complete treatment.
Booking a broken tooth emergency Cheadle appointment is the most important step. These measures can help protect the tooth and manage pain while you wait.
Wrap it in damp tissue or place it in milk and bring it with you to your broken tooth emergency Cheadle appointment. It is occasionally possible to reattach it.
This clears away any debris and helps you see the extent of the damage more clearly.
Sugar-free chewing gum or dental wax from a pharmacy can temporarily cover a sharp edge to protect your tongue and cheek.
During a broken tooth emergency, keeping pressure off the tooth reduces both pain and the risk of breaking it further.
Ibuprofen or paracetamol, taken as directed, can help manage discomfort until your broken tooth emergency appointment.
If the break followed a fall or blow to the face, watch for other symptoms too, such as dizziness, jaw misalignment, or numbness. Please seek medical attention as well as dental care.

Here are the questions we are asked most often about our broken tooth emergency Cheadle service.
Not every break needs to be seen within hours. But every break should be assessed soon. Exposed tooth structure is vulnerable to decay, sensitivity, and fracture, even if it is not painful yet. If you are unsure, call our broken tooth emergency Cheadle team and we will advise you.
In many cases, yes. Treatment depends on how much of the tooth is left, and whether the nerve has been exposed. Options range from simple bonding to a crown or root canal treatment. In rarer cases, where too little tooth remains, extraction may be needed. Prompt broken tooth emergency treatment gives the best chance of saving it.
A lack of pain does not mean there is no damage, particularly with cracks that have not yet reached the nerve. It is still worth treating it as a broken tooth emergency and having the tooth checked so we can repair it before it becomes a bigger problem.
Often, yes, especially if a significant portion of the tooth has broken away. A crown protects the remaining structure from further fracture and restores the tooth’s shape and function.
Teeth can fracture for several reasons. Biting something unexpectedly hard is common, as is existing decay weakening the structure, grinding at night, or simple wear over time. We will check for the cause when you come in.
It is best to avoid chewing on the affected side. Steer clear of hard or sticky foods too, since these can cause further breakage or push debris into the exposed area.
Yes. Children often chip or break teeth through falls or sports, and we see them as a priority. Our broken tooth emergency Cheadle service welcomes patients of all ages, so please call us straight away if your child has a broken tooth.
