Technology
At Integrated Dentalcare we have invested heavily in technology and skills to ensure that you benefit from treatment to the highest standard. Appropriate pre-assessment allows us to plan whether the tooth can be treated by one of our experienced general dentists. We have the latest 3D scanning technology so there is no need to suffer in pain.
Ignoring dental pain can lead to worsening of the condition and potentially more extensive and costly treatments in the future.

How much does an emergency dentist in Edinburgh cost?
It's challenging to provide an exact price without assessing the extent of the issue. Our dentist will review your emergency history and conduct a consultation. Depending on the cause, a digital X-ray may be required to determine the problem. The dentist will discuss available treatment options and provide a comprehensive written treatment plan, ensuring you're fully aware of the associated costs before any treatment commences. This may involve complete emergency treatment or temporary emergency treatment, followed by further appointments if necessary. If you prefer to continue your treatment with your regular dentist, you're welcome to do so. We can provide you with a copy of any digital X-rays taken at no additional cost, allowing your dentist to complete the rest of your treatment.

What should I do if I have a swollen face?
A swollen face is a common reason to seek emergency dental care. Swelling can occur gradually over a day or two, or it may appear suddenly. It can be caused by infection, abscesses, or other factors, and treatment depends on the cause and an accurate diagnosis.
Swollen faces can cause anxiety and, if left untreated, may lead to complications. Visit an emergency dentist in Edinburgh to receive further assistance.

Which painkiller should I use for toothache?
Toothache is a common reason for seeing an emergency dentist. It can be caused by various factors and can vary in intensity and duration for each individual. If you have toothache, it is advised to seek urgent dental care. The effectiveness of painkillers for dental pain varies among people. There are several over-the-counter painkillers readily available:
- Ibuprofen: This anti-inflammatory and analgesic medication can be helpful for toothache. However, it is not advisable to take Ibuprofen if you’re susceptible to stomach issues or asthmatic.
- Paracetamol: This widely available over-the-counter medication is offered in tablet and soluble forms. Many patients find it effective for relieving dental pain.
- Paracetamol and Codeine: This combination tablet includes codeine, an opioid that may cause drowsiness and impair normal function. If you have toothache, it is advised to seek urgent dental care.
What should I do if I'm experiencing pain from a wisdom tooth that’s growing in?
When a wisdom tooth is obstructed by the tooth in front or when food and plaque get trapped between the wisdom tooth and the gum, it can lead to infection. Contact your regular dentist as they may have emergency slots or be able to offer advice. You can also reach out to your local emergency dentist. While waiting for an emergency dental appointment, it is recommended to take pain medication and rinse your mouth with warm salt water. Effective brushing around the area may also help dislodge any rotting debris which may help resolve the issue. If you encounter difficulty getting an appointment, feel free to give us a call or email us to schedule an emergency consultation with one of our experienced dentists.
If you are facing a dental emergency, please call 0131 225 9093 or book an appointment to receive the necessary treatment as soon as possible.
