“Brilliant service from Art of Dental. They fit me in quickly as I was in pain, and the treatment was seamless...with kind, reassuring and professional staff. Thank you Art of Dental Care and Kevin O Grady.”
“The team managed to fit me in for an emergency check up at short notice. Clear and friendly communication followed by a very professional appointment. Would recommend without hesitation”
"Can’t recommend this clinic enough! I’ve been a patient of Divya’s for years, so when I broke my tooth, I knew exactly where to go for help. Every member of the team has been very helpful, friendly, and professional, which really put me at ease throughout the long process of fitting the implant and the crown. Thank you so much for your hard work! 🤩"
“A bit of background: I had my fixed retainer fitted after NHS braces at the Countess of Chester Hospital orthodontic clinic, and it’s served me proud for over 20 years – unbelievable! When it finally snapped (after a rather hard piece of sourdough toast), I wasn’t sure where to turn. The NHS hospital was long behind me, and my normal NHS dentist said there would be a month-long wait and that they didn’t even have the composite bonding to do the simple procedure (which felt untrue).
Enter stage right: Dr Divya Reddy. I was so pleasantly surprised to get an appointment the very next day at The Art of Dental Care. The practice itself felt more like a boutique spa – modern, clean, and beautifully designed. My emergency appointment even included an X-ray, which I got to see instantly on a big TV screen in front of me.
Dr Divya Reddy talked me through every step of the procedure and checked in on me more times than any dentist ever has – her care and attention were second to none. The whole experience completely put me at ease, and I’m now genuinely considering transferring here permanently after this visit.
Thank you for turning what felt like a stressful situation into such a positive one!”
“Before Christmas my usual dentist cracked my wisdom tooth with a failed extraction.
After being admitted to hospital with widespread infection my wife found Art of Dental Practice online.
The team booked me in at short notice between Christmas and New Year to complete a surgical extraction.
The team were very professional, confident, friendly and above all successful in removing a very troublesome tooth!
Couldn’t recommend the team enough.
I am very grateful for their efforts!”
"What an Amazing Practice this is ! I went to my own Dentist with an exposed nerve in a tooth 3 weeks before x mas. He could not do anything until 17 Feb26. He attempted to extract the tooth & could only remove everything above the gum. Referring me to another NHS practice for a full extraction. 3 weeks later, & 2 courses of antibiotics later, & still massively in Pain I went to Art of Dental Care.
Divya & Lorraine could not do enough for me, so kind & caring, insisting I was comfortable before continuing with my extraction. I can not recommend this Practice enough, Two lovely ladies. I even received a follow up call the following day from the Lovely Lorraine.
Thank You
Very Much

Dental Emergency FAQs
What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is a situation where immediate dental care is required to alleviate severe pain, stop bleeding, relieve swelling, save a tooth or address a serious oral health issue.
What should I do if I have a tooth knocked out?
If a tooth is knocked out completely, it's important to act quickly. Retrieve the tooth if possible, handling it by its crown (the top part) and avoiding touching the root. Rinse it with warm water if it's dirty, but try not to scrub or dislodge any of the attached tissues.Attempt to reinsert the tooth back into the socket and bite into a clean cloth, or keep it in a container of saliva or milk. Visit a dentist within 30 minutes for a greater chance of saving your tooth.
How can I alleviate a severe toothache?
To deliver at home pain relief from a severe toothache, try rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater to cleanse the area.Carefully floss around the painful tooth, or teeth, to remove trapped food particles or any debris.
Avoid putting aspirin, or any analgesic, directly onto the affected tooth, gums or area, as it may cause irritation.
Pain relief from over-the-counter medication can help temporarily, but it's important to visit a dentist as quickly as possible to determine the cause, and receive appropriate treatment.
What should I do if I have a broken tooth?
If you have a broken tooth, you should rinse your mouth with warm saltwater to clean the area.Visit a dentist as soon as you can, bringing any fragments with you if available. You could also use a temporary cement kit, which you can buy over the counter or can find in the dental section of the supermarkets. The dentist will assess the extent of the damage and recommend appropriate treatment options.
How can I handle a dental abscess?
Dental abscesses are infections that require immediate attention.
Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater to help alleviate pain. This can also help to draw out some of the infection.
Avoid applying cold or heat to the affected area.
Contact a dentist immediately for an emergency appointment. The dentist may prescribe antibiotics to control the infection and perform a root canal treatment or extract the affected tooth, depending on the severity of the abscess. If the swelling is spreading and affects your breathing, swallowing, causes difficulty in mouth opening / closing, causes closure of the eye or if you run a high temperature, you will need to immediately go to the A&E (Accident and Emergency Department) of your local hospital.
What should I do if I have a soft tissue injury in my mouth?
If you have a soft tissue injury such as a bitten lip, tongue or cheek, gently wash the area with warm water. Apply pressure with a clean cloth or gauze to control bleeding.
Using a cold compress on the outside of your mouth or cheek can help to reduce the swelling. If the bleeding doesn't stop or the injury you’ve sustained is severe, seek medical attention.
What can I do if I have a broken orthodontic appliance?
Contact us if you have an orthodontic appliance that has broken, such as a wire poking into your cheek or a broken bracket, try using orthodontic wax to cover the sharp or protruding edges.
If a wire is stuck in your gums, cheeks or tongue, do not attempt to cut it yourself; seek professional help from an orthodontist. Contact your orthodontist as quickly as possible to schedule a repair appointment.
Who do I contact during a dental emergency?
Please contact the Art of Dental Care practice for emergency appointments during working hours.
If you’re calling out of hours, it's recommended to contact the practice and follow the instructions provided.
