What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you are unsure, call and let our reception team judge it — that is what they are there for. These are the reasons people most often ring us:
Toothache
pain that keeps you awake, throbs, or does not settle with painkillers.
A broken or chipped tooth
whether or not it hurts. Bring any pieces with you.
A knocked-out tooth
an emergency measured in minutes rather than hours — see below before you do anything else.
A lost filling, crown or veneer
the tooth underneath is exposed and can break further.
Swelling of the face or gum
swelling that is spreading, or that affects your eye, breathing or swallowing, needs urgent medical attention — go to A&E or call 999.
Bleeding that will not stop
after an extraction or an injury.
A broken denture or a problem with a brace
a sharp edge or a loose wire that is cutting your mouth.
How to Get Seen Today
The fastest route to an appointment is the telephone, not the form.
Call 0161 928 0014
During surgery hours, please call us immediately on 0161 928 0014 and our reception team will assess the urgency of your dental emergency and arrange an appointment as appropriate.
Tell us what has happened
When the pain started, whether anything is broken or loose, whether there is swelling, and whether you have taken any painkillers. This is what decides how quickly you need to be seen.
Come in for an examination and diagnosis
An emergency appointment is same-day care for toothache or broken teeth, and includes an examination and diagnosis. We find out what is wrong and get you out of pain.
Agree what happens next
Some problems are settled at that appointment. Others need a filling, a crown, root canal treatment or an extraction — we explain the options and confirm the fee before any further treatment starts.
If a Tooth Has Been Knocked Out or Broken
A knocked-out adult tooth can often be saved, and the key is time — the sooner the tooth is put back into place, the more likely it is to survive. Try not to handle the tooth too much, and certainly not the root.
- Find the tooth
- If dirty clean by licking with saliva or gently rinsing with water
- Re-implant immediately
- Bite on a handkerchief
- Seek emergency dental care so they can splint the tooth
If you can’t put the tooth back in, place it in milk and seek emergency care immediately.
If a tooth has been broken but not knocked out, those pieces of tooth can sometimes be “stuck” back together, so it is worth bringing the fractured remnants with you. A tooth that has been banged and is now in a different position should also be seen, so it can be repositioned or at least assessed.
Our principal dentist, Dr Monder Zbaeda, has written the full advice — including what to do about baby teeth and which mouthguards actually protect children in contact sports — in what to do when you or your child knocks out a tooth.
Outside Surgery Hours
Outside surgery hours, please call the dental practice on 0161 928 0014 and follow the instructions that will be given on the recorded message.
If you are on one of our membership plans, your plan also carries worldwide dental accident and emergency cover, so you are looked after away from home as well.

Warm and welcoming. Reception used my name and was smiling. Rachel was articulate, explaining everything clearly. Millie was friendly and clearly stated procedure during X ray. Very good visit. Thank you.
Alan Charles 5 out of 5 stars
I cannot recommend Dr Saara more highly. She took the time to patiently explain every aspect of the procedure, highlighting honestly where discomfort could be expected and how it was being minimised. She patiently laid out the options with transparency about cost and impact- short and long term. But overall it’s the fact that she genuinely cares and wants the time in the dentist chair to feel good and for you to come away feeling cared for. I can’t thank her enough.
Lise Hewitt 5 out of 5 stars
I needed an urgent appointment after breaking a tooth on holiday. Am a nervous patient and Saara was extremely reassuring and did a great job of fixing my tooth then and there, after a full assessment and x-ray. Very thorough. Thank you.

Absolutely outstanding care at Barrington Dental Care practice. I came in for removal of some teeth, invisalign and implantation and I am thrilled with the outcome. From reception to treatment, everyone was so professional and kind. The principal dentist Monder is exceptionally skilled, a true perfectionist - professional, honest about what would work best, and very gentle throughout. Monder explained everything clearly, made me feel completely at ease and reassuring. The whole process took around two years with a fantastic result. I am now feeling much more comfortable and confident with my teeth and my smile. The whole team is friendly and welcoming and appointments always run on time. The practice is spotless and modern. Best dentist I've ever been to - cannot recommend highly enough! 5 stars - thank you so much Monder and everyone in your team!

Friendly and relaxed appointments by caring and profession staff who treat you with respect and consideration.
Susan Duckworth 5 out of 5 stars
I have just started my treatments at BDC so I guess I am possibly more focused on ‘first impressions’ so I was absolutely overwhelmed at how lovely this went. From the moment I first phoned all the way through to my initial assessment I feel very much at ease and that I will be treated in a most professional and caring manner. Good old fashioned customer care. Thank you.
David Duckworth 5 out of 5 stars
Always a warm welcome and professional service for my whole family. Treatments are explained clearly and questions answered. Shout out to Rachel who is a fab dentist!
Julie-Anne Hawkes 5 out of 5 stars
Had to come here for an emergency appointment out of hours for my child and the service couldn't have been better from Saara and Lavene. Really kind, reassuring and professional. Many thanks!
J H 5 out of 5 stars
I can’t recommend Barrington Dental highly enough. My dentist, Rachel, is fantastic. I’ve always had some anxiety about going to the dentist following some bad experiences as a child, but Rachel has been brilliant at putting me at ease. I always feel comfortable and well looked after during my appointments.
Heidi, the hygienist, is also excellent and provides the same high level of care and attention to detail.
The whole team really went above and beyond during the COVID pandemic too. I needed antibiotics at the time and, rather incredibly, they were ultimately hand-delivered to my home address. That level of care and personal service really says a lot about the practice and the people who work there.
The service is genuinely 10/10, but what I appreciate most is that you get the impression they are incredibly thorough and genuinely care about getting things right, rather than simply rushing you through an appointment.
A fantastic dental practice with a lovely team — highly recommended!

I recently had a new patient dental examination with Saara Sabir at Barrington Dental Care. Sara was lovely and really made me feel welcome and at ease from the start. She was friendly, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. The whole experience was very comfortable and relaxed. I’m really pleased I chose Barrington Dental Care and would definitely recommend Saara.
Peter Rzeskiewicz 5 out of 5 stars
Excellent care and service. Would certainly recommend this dentist - I have been a patient of Rachel’s for over 10 years and also had a dental implant by Monder and I couldn’t be happier with the result! Thank you
