How are patients being prioritized?

Emergency dental care is prioritized and our main aim is to get our patients out of pain as quickly as possible. Our reception team will ask you a few questions when you call to book your appointment. If your dental problem is classed as a dental emergency, our team will find a suitable appointment to help you get out of pain as soon as possible. Please come alone to your appointment unless you need a parent or guardian as a chaperone.

Is it safe to have dental treatment while some COVID restrictions are still in place?

We have made our dental practice as safe as possible, whilst adhering to all government guidelines at all times. We have made every effort to support our patients and give them a safe and comfortable experience from start to finish. Our practice have provided an automatic temperature scanner on arrival, automatic taps, soap dispensers and hand sanitising stations as well as free masks and anti-bac gel. Bow Lane Dental have air purifiers in each surgery and are wearing the correct PPE for every treatment. If you are having an ‘Aerosol Generating Procedure’ the dentist and nurse will be wearing a FFP2/respirator mask and full clinical gown. You can take a look at our COVID-19 information page here.

So, what is defined as a dental emergency?

There are a number of circumstances that would be classed as a dental emergency. Any kind of tooth ache or tooth pain, is something that we would want to treat as soon as possible. Facial swelling is also classed as a dental emergency as this could be a sign of an abscess. This would cause a lot of tenderness and pain around the swollen area, something that would require immediate treatment. If you notice swelling or experience pain in your gums this may also be a sign of infection. This is another symptom that we would want to treat quickly. Dental trauma, such as a broken tooth, filling, denture, crown, or veneer are also classed as a dental emergency. So, if the unthinkable happens make sure you book your emergency dental appointment. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about how we keep you safe in our practice. To make an appointment, please call us on 020 7236 3600 or email reception@bowlanedental.com
