Let me share a story I think many of you will relate to, especially if you’ve ever planned a big family holiday. A few days ago, a patient walked into my surgery visibly stressed and with a niggling pain in his jaw. With departure looming, the last thing anyone wants is dental trouble right before heading off on a much-anticipated getaway.
Our patient was a busy professional, juggling work and family, and had spent months organising this trip. He told me how much effort went into booking flights, hotels, and activities, and how important it was for everything to go smoothly. But now, pain threatened to overshadow those plans.
It’s a situation I see more often than you’d expect. Patients just want to make sure nothing interferes with their time away. Who wants to go around looking for a dentist in an unfamiliar place where a language barrier exists to top it all off?
After a quick examination and an X-ray, the reason for his discomfort became clear: a sizeable infection at the root of his molar. I had to break the news that a root canal treatment (RCT) was necessary. He was visibly upset, knowing time was tight and hoping for a quick fix.
He asked if I could just prescribe antibiotics, thinking they’d get him through the holiday. Many patients believe antibiotics are a magical cure, but it’s not that straightforward.
As a dentist, I face this crossroads often. I understand the impulse to reach for antibiotics, especially when under pressure. But prescribing them unnecessarily can lead to resistance, making them less effective when truly needed.
Infected teeth aren’t something to ignore, especially when travelling. Did you know that changes in air cabin pressure during flights can make dental pain much worse? Imagine sitting on a plane, high above the clouds, and suddenly that mild ache becomes a throbbing agony. I explained this to him, and the worry in his eyes grew.
Like many, he was anxious about how he’d find an appointment before his flight. After all, specialist dentists often have waiting lists. But I didn’t want his holiday, or his health, to suffer.
Fortunately, Dr Sabeer, a colleague who always keeps a few slots open for emergencies, was able to help. We got him booked in, ensuring his problem could be addressed before takeoff.
A very happy Ian sent us a digital postcard from Morocco, smiling with his family. This was a nice gesture from him that not only brought a smile to my face but also a tremendous sense of job satisfaction.
This case reminded me just how important timely, patient-centred care is, especially when life’s special moments are at stake. Dental emergencies don’t respect calendars, but with the right approach and a responsive team, they don’t have to ruin your plans.
I hope sharing this story helps others recognise the value of not ignoring those early signs, and the importance of responsible antibiotic use. If a niggle crops up before your next holiday, don’t wait. Reach out, and let us help you keep your plans (and your smile) intact.
Planning a trip? Make sure your teeth are sorted and pain-free before you go. A small problem now can become a serious issue at altitude or when you’re thousands of miles from home.
If you’ve got a holiday coming up and you’re experiencing any discomfort, book a check-up. It’s far better to sort it out here than to find yourself in a foreign A&E or missing out on your hard-earned break.
Holiday booked? Get in touch and we’ll make sure nothing gets in the way of your plans. You’re welcome to maintain your current dental arrangements and may also schedule a single course of treatment with Dr Sabeer if desired.
Please consider sharing this post within your network, as it may serve as a helpful reminder for others planning their next trip or a big event.

This Saturday is our Summer Glow Up Day. It sold out in days.
Every consultation slot is gone, and we can’t add more. But because so many of you asked, we’ve set aside a small number of Glow Up offers for consultations booked on another day.
That means you can still get over £1,400 off your clear aligner package, up to £800 off a same day smile makeover, plus a free 3D scan and a simulation of your new smile before you commit to anything.
Once these are claimed, that’s it. The pricing goes with them.
DM us the word GLOW and we’ll try and sort you a time that suits 🧡
