What is a dental emergency?

Dental emergencies can be anything from a knocked-out tooth to severe toothache. Some other common dental emergencies include a broken or cracked tooth, abscesses or infections, bleeding or swollen gums, and dental trauma due to an accident. If you are experiencing any of these issues, it is essential to seek emergency dental care as soon as possible.

Why choose an emergency dentist in Greater Manchester?

There are many reasons why you may need to visit an emergency dentist in Manchester. For example, if you have a severe toothache or a dental injury, you may not be able to wait for a routine appointment with your regular dentist.

Finally, emergency dentists are often available outside of regular working hours, providing care when you need it most.

While vaping may not cause the same staining or smell associated with smoking, it can still have an impact on your oral health.

When your dentist becomes the patient… 🦷😂

Even those who spend their days looking after other people’s smiles need a little dental care themselves!

After breaking a lower molar, our very own Matthew was in the patient chair, with Johan on the other side this time. A ceramic crown was fitted within just two hours, helping to protect the tooth for years to come.

It’s always nice when you can trust your own team with your smile. 🙌

And judging by Matthew’s review… Johan definitely gets the seal of approval! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Johan and Ronette have been my dentists for years and this practice is terrific. Just had a crown and it’s a perfect fit. Johan is so patient and professional and I’ve been delighted by the quality of the care - definitely five stars and would recommend to anyone.

Jackie

I have recently joined this practice and am totally satisfied with my experience. All members of staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and put you at ease. I was quite embarrassed about my teeth but after just a few sessions with the lovely Katie, Hygienist and treatment from Dr Fernando Bockman, I am thoroughly pleased with the results. Cannot thank them enough.

James Nuttall

15:05 14 Jan 26

Lovely clean practice with great professional people.

Claire Griffin

08:48 09 Jan 26

Kelly is the best dental hygienist you will ever have the pleasure of looking after your teeth. No area left unchecked, cleaned & polished. Ronette has looked after my teeth for over 20 years and as a nervous patient she is incredible at relaxing you and explaining what she is doing and why. Sam her dental nurse is also super kind and friendly. I could never imagine going to another dental practice. The whole practice is a wonderful place with 5 star staff.

Gill Wisdom

Excelent service.
Phoned at 9:30, in the chair at 10:30, exited with new crown at 12:00.

Ian Travis

17:34 30 Dec 25

I have to say that I've been terrified of dentists and dentistry for most of my life. 1970's dentists left a scar on my psyche, as well as inflict pain on me.

Having said that, I must exclude Dr Goosen and co from the roll call of dentists of horror. I urgently needed a molar removed, and was treated with care and consideration. Never felt a thing.

I've seen the hygienist since, and while it wasn't pleasant, I never thought I'd be in hysterical laughter sat in a dentists chair, but here we are.

They proved to me that I can go to the dentist and be treated well, they are stars.

Thanks, guys 😊

I attended my first appointment with Johan Goosen. Having a fear of dentists he put me completely at ease from the moment I stepped into his room. Very professional, knowledgeable and genuinely a lovely man.
The ladies on reception were very friendly and welcoming.
A very tastefully decorated surgery.
Thank you to all.

I’ve had Kelly for many years now as my hygienist and she never ever disappoints. Always feel like I’m so relaxed and just love the atmosphere in there and the whole dentist really. Then I have fernando who is always up for giving any advice when needed. Have been coming to ramsbottom dental care for about 15 years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. My daughter absolutely loves the dentist and can’t wait to get her teeth checked. Overall just fantastic professional dentist.

Lewis Ayres

16:12 05 Dec 25

Unbelievable experience! I went in with a chipped tooth and within 10 minutes it was completely fixed—you’d never even know I’d been to the dentist. Truly first-class service

Excellent dentist and hygienist, wouldn't go anywhere else now.

Bernadette Wilsher

20:31 22 Nov 25

First class service from a dedicated team of specialists: Dentists, hygeinists, receptionists.
I opted for Invisilign, whitening and composite bonding on six front teeth, the results of which were truly life-changing for me. Dr Fernando’s skill, knowledge and expertise ensured that all my questions were answered through all stages of the process and his understanding and sensitivity alleviated my nerves and anxiety.
Since then, I have opted for polynucleotide treatment on the neck area. The consultation with Dr Ronette was thorough and I was given a detailed treatment plan which I am currently part way through.
I would wholly recommend this Dental Practice for its exceptionally high standards of care for its clients. Thank you. BSmith.

Carole Kay

13:15 19 Nov 25

I cannot praise this dental practice, and the people who work there, highly enough. Since childhood, (and I'm now in my early seventies) I have always dreaded the dentist's chair; until I first encountered Johan Goosen and all his colleagues. I now have the confidence in knowing my dental health is tip-top and has been addressed painlessly. Thank you to everyone concerned.

Philip Daynes

12:38 19 Nov 25

Fabulous practice that offers 1st class service, my dentist Fernando is very professional and at the same time very caring and explains thoroughly every detail of the examination and if any treatment is required.
My hygienist, Katie is also very professional and caring making sure to explain the procedure whilst making sure you are relaxed and comfortable

Julia Thornley

11:45 11 Nov 25

Excellent dental practice. From the moment you enter the building, you are greeted by friendly and knowledgeable receptionists then seen by equally warm and reassuring practitioners. They really seem to care about their patients as apposed to other practices that are impersonal and all about the money.
I moved house and changed to practice nearer home but returned to Ramsbottom Dental Practice when I saw the difference in customer care and experience. They are definitely worth the drive.

Indeed the whole practice feels like a family and we genuinely look forward to our visits. In addition to your usual dental works they offer orthodontics & cosmetic dentistry, along with aesthetics.
So enamoured with them I travel from Cheshire, as I’ve no intention of going anywhere else.

Each time I go the staff are excellent and the dentist is very skilled and inspires confidence. I would completely recommend Ramsbottom Dental Care

Vincent Scott

19:21 30 Jul 25

Booking my initial appointment and going I felt really anxious, especially after my recent experiences at two MyDentist practices.

Sophie Delaney is incredible at easing your anxiety about the whole process. She asks thorough background questions, conducts a very thorough dental exam where each tooth is clearly checked. The whole thing was so very professional but also human from beginning to end.

Will be using this practice going forwards. ☺️

EDIT: I have so far been to the practice for two fillings after my appointment. I can’t recommend this practice, Sophie and the rest of the staff enough! The injection is my most feared part, Sophie is an expert as the first one felt like a very slight electrical shock rather than pain. With the second one I didn’t feel a thing! Absolutely blown away.

I won’t ever be changing practices I don’t think from now on. Thanks all at Ramsbottom Dental Care.

If you are inbetween dentists then go here!

Rachel Strickland

14:52 29 Jul 25

Just completed my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Ronette and I am over the moon with the results. Absolutely worth every penny and it’s completely transformed my confidence. Everyone who works here is incredibly welcoming, including the assistants and reception staff. I was really anxious for my first appointment but everyone is so friendly and so so good at what they do that every appointment was comfortable and I trusted them completely. Thank you so so much everyone at Ramsbottom Dental Care!!!

Exceptional Care and Outstanding Results at Ramsbottom Dental Care
As someone who is extremely sensitive and often anxious about dental procedures, finding the right clinic was incredibly important to me — and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Ramsbottom Dental Care.
From the very first visit, the team was warm, welcoming, and incredibly understanding of my needs. They went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. The cosmetic work I received was carried out with the utmost care and precision, and the results have truly exceeded my expectations.
What stood out most was the level of empathy and patience shown throughout the entire process. They never rushed me, always listened, and adapted their approach to make the experience as stress-free as possible.
If you're nervous about dental treatment or looking for expert cosmetic care in a supportive environment, I can't recommend Ramsbottom Dental Care highly enough.

Barbara Duxbury

Carolyne Gee

Ronette is always friendly, attentive, and highly experienced - I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Sophie, Kelly and the rest of the team are equally as amazing.

Celine Haviland

15:02 14 Jul 25

Currently about half way through adult orthodontic treatment with fixed braces.

From my first consultation with Dr Ronette to my regular checks with Lucy and the team, I have been nothing but impressed.

Appointments are always on time, conducted in high tech spotless surgery rooms and really welcoming. The team answer any questions professionally and are also up for a good laugh which is great when you’re nervous.

I’ve been so impressed that I’ve got both my daughters under the care of Ramsbottom Dental Care as the NHS service is not available to them for their needs at their age. Both are under age 10 and have been treated with such care and compassion from the team.

I don’t hesitate to recommend this Surgery and thank you!

Brenda Smith

The practice is lovely, beautiful decor, smells great, staff are all brilliant. But I have to highlight Kelly the hygienist, she is extremely gentle, very calm and actually makes having your teeth cleaned a relaxing experience 😀 I have also had various dental work done from braces to crowns and that has all been great and pretty reasonable costs too, definitely recommend

I undertook a dental implant recently at Ramsbottom Dental Care due to a broken tooth. Johan carried out the lengthy procedure and at every stage the communication, skill, care and expertise were excellent and I am very pleased with the outcome. I have been with the clinic for almost 20 years and have always been completely satisfied. All the team - dentists, Kelly, the hygienist, dental nurses and receptionists provide exceptional care and treatment with a smile!

I’ve been a patient at this Dentists for a number of years but have not been for some time as I live in Devon having moved from Manchester. On needing some treatment I did not bother looking for a Dentist in Devon preferring to travel to Ramsbottom (500 miles round trips) as I knew the quality of care and service I’d receive and my expectations have been exceeded. I can recommend them to anybody whatever the nature and severity of their dental problems. They are absolutely brilliant with nervous patients. The practice is a credit to all the hard work Johan, his wife Ronette and colleagues have invested in this brilliant dental practice. Thank you.

After discovering Dr. Fernando Bockmann's Instagram showcasing his work, reviews, and workbook, I decided to reach out to Ramsbottom Dental Care to book my first assessment due to some dental issues I was experiencing. My journey at this clinic has been exceptional. I can’t find any faults.
The reception team is attentive, friendly, and welcoming, which made me feel relaxed right from the start. Dr. Bockmann and his team have been fantastic, providing detailed explanations of the treatment process and ensuring excellent aftercare. I cannot fault any aspect of my experience. I highly recommend this dental clinic.

I’ve been seeing Ronette since I was a teenager so for over 20 years now and even with an hour round journey, I wouldn’t go anywhere else, even my daughter loves coming here and seeing Sophie. A few years ago I had to have a treatment that I was scared of, Johan did it and he put me at such ease, he was so gentle and I had absolutely nothing to be scared of. I recommend Ramsbottom Dental Care to everyone! 😊

If you are anything like me, going to the dentist can give you the jitters. I don't get that here. The team are excellent. From the warm and friendly reception team to the dentist, hygienist and all the associated dental nurses etc. Today I was in for a clean and polish. They are just so lovely, took their time and left my mouth lovely and fresh.
I don't want to give too good a review as I still want to be able to get in when I go but honestly, they deserve a 6 star rating for the way they treat people!!

I recently joined this dentist and I've had nothing but great service. From walking through the door to receiving my treatment everyone has been so friendly and supportive.

I've put off going to the dentist for many many years, after such an amount of time I was nervous about A) having them inspected B) what they would find and then the most C) how much it would all cost...

I signed up for the practice within the last few weeks, had my initial consultation and a clear, easy plan was offered.

From Reception to Dentist, very good service and more than reasonable in terms of pricing.

I had my first visit today and saw Fernando and the lovely dental nurse (sorry, I didn't get get her name), and was so impressed the moment I stepped into the reception area. The receptionist was so friendly and welcoming, as was everyone else. As I am very nervous, Fernando put me at my ease and explained everything to me in detail. I highly recommend this practice, so much so that I'm even going to make an appointment with the hygienist.

Jane Moore

Outstanding. After a bad experience, i was referred to Johan after years of discomfort and several fillings needing replacing. Johan is an excellent dentist and i cannot thank him and his team enough for the care they have provided. I trust Johan completely with my teeth, and my faith in dentists has been restored. Highly recommend. Thank you

Ramsbottom Dental Care, actually care. They are a great team, really friendly, great at what they do and the clinic is state of the art, it is beautiful. My daughter felt really relaxed with Sophie for a check up & Kelly for sealants, it was reassuring as she gets nervous. I've always been really happy with my treatment (with Johan) and I even got my husband there (with Ronette) after way too many years avoiding dental check ups!

Jon

22:15 26 Feb 25

Hygienist was top notch. I'm usually left with saw and bleeding gums but they were meticulous and did it with such precision my teeth were spotless and not an ounce of blood or discomfort.

However, Sophie said I needed a £120 custom fit night guard and they made one for me. I felt rushed and spoken to like I was a nuisance. During fitting it was briefly adjusted once and then quickly put in a box and me sent home. After getting a minute to use it I found it rocks to the right when I bite on it as there's very little contact on the left and there are large bits sticking into my tongue on the right. I don't feel comfortable going back for another adjustment as they've shown they have little time and are more concerned about maximizing throughput and profit. Again, I do not feel comfortable going back.

Hygienist was great though 👌

**Highly Recommend Ramsbottom Dental Care!**

I recently visited Ramsbottom Dental Care as a new patient, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Sophie Delaney is fantastic – she explained my treatment clearly and made sure I understood every step. I had a white filling done on my front teeth, and the results are amazing! It looks completely natural, and I’m so happy with the outcome.

Kelly Wolfe did a full dental hygiene treatment on my entire set of teeth, and again, the results were incredible. My teeth feel so clean and healthy. Both Sophie and Kelly made me feel well cared for, and it’s clear this practice genuinely puts their patients first. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for excellent dental care!

I recently visited Ramsbottom Dental Care and was attended by Dr. Fernando Bockmann. I was extremely satisfied with the consultation. From the beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and kindness. Dr. Fernando explained all the procedures clearly and patiently, which made me feel very comfortable and confident. The service was punctual, and the clinic is well-equipped and welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Fernando Bockmann to everyone looking for a high-quality and caring dentist. I loved the consultation and will definitely return!

The receptionists at Ramsbottom Dental Care are exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. They are extremely attentive, efficient, and always ready to help with any questions or needs. Their welcoming and helpful attitude makes a significant difference in the overall experience at the clinic. Without a doubt, the reception team greatly contributes to the pleasant and welcoming atmosphere of the practice.

The nurses at Ramsbottom Dental Care are fantastic. They meticulously prepare the equipment and assist the doctor by holding and handing instruments. Their diligence and support ensure a smooth and efficient experience. Their professionalism greatly contributes to the clinic's welcoming.

I can't tell you how much ramsbottom dental care have got rid of my fear of the dentist... I actually miss them between appointments. Lucy and her team are fantastic and reassuringly helpful with my invisalign journey. Dr Goosen and his team always put me at ease and it's like going seeing friends for a chat when I go. Thank you so much for bringing my smile back to everyone and I actually love going to the dentist!! Never thought I'd say that.

Dr Fernando Bockman has been amazing, after recovering from Cancer I knew from the day I met Dr F B after speaking with him that I was in very good hands and have been ever since. He’s so attentive and makes you feel at ease, ( as I’m a very nervous person when it comes to going to the dentist after many years of trauma with two dental practice)
And Kelly the hygienist, again advising me the best way to take care of my teeth.
People don’t realise what trouble you have with your teeth after having such intense cancer treatment. Now I have more confidence, thanks to Dr F B and Kelly.
Not to mention how fantastic you're greeted by the receptionist on every visit.
Thank you

Second post , my daughter had suffered with poor dental care to the point where she was terrified to visit a dentist. I asked her to just try here. What a revelation, she was put at ease with Fernando, not an easy task and Johan performed a complicated procedure, the fact that she’s booked further treatment is unbelievably good , thank you

Johan has been my Dentist for 10 years, he's an excellent Dentist who takes great pride in his work. I've just completed having a dental implant with Johan, I knew he would do a great job, but being an anxious patient I had conscious sedation with Dental Sedation Solutions who the surgery have teamed up with. The procedure was brilliant, it was anxiety and stress free. I would highly recommend this surgery for a First Class Dental Experience from the minute you walk through the door.

I have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence in Johan and his team at Ramsbottom Dental Care. About two years ago a front tooth broke and I have had an implant fitted. It was a masterclass in dental engineering. A 3 dimensional scan is made of the jaw and information transferred to a CAD (Computer Aided design) system. The implant is fitted using a guidance jig and the end result is a perfect match in size, alignment and tooth shade.

Johan is very professional and pays a lot of attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ramsbottom Dental Care today, and I must say it was a surprisingly positive experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

The receptionist was welcoming and the waiting area was really pleasant and comfortable, making the brief wait enjoyable.

Sophie, my dentist, and her assistant Shannon were exceptional. They took the time to explain each step of the examination process and Sophie took the time to go over all of my treatments options in great detail which really helped me to decide the best option for me.

What also stood out was the modern and well-equipped facility. The use of advanced technology not only made the procedures more efficient but also instilled confidence in the quality of care provided.

Overall, my visit to Ramsbottom Dental Care was really positive. I left feeling well taken care of, and I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone in search of a friendly, professional, and technologically advanced dental experience. Kudos to the entire team for making a routine dental visit such a pleasant one. If only all dentists were like this!

From making the initial call with Sarah to treatment I had a fantastic experience.
Amazing atmosphere, perfect for nervous patients like myself! I have worried for years about going to the dentist and “Sophie & Shannon made it all disappear. They were both so patient with me and reassured me throughout the appointment . Taking time to explain everything and what to expect, I never felt pressured or rushed it was exactly what I needed to gain some confidence. I cannot thank all the staff enough and would recommend to anyone who maybe like myself and have worries and concerns.

This practice is by far the very best I have been to - ever! ALL the staff are amazing, from the warmest of welcomes on reception, to the most fantastic and 'state of the art' dental treatment by an experienced, professional and extremely caring dental team. The premises are inviting, relaxing, and absolutely spotless. I've instantly gone from a terrified patient to feeling reassured and happy with my treatment plan - in a very short period of time. I just wish we had found them sooner, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them (in fact I do so at every opportunity!) Never before has a dentist extracted my teeth without sedation, but Dr Johan did so with the very minimum of discomfort. I have now regained my smile, and could not be happier - thank you!

We lived in Canada for 20 years and when we returned to the UK eight years ago we struggled to find a hygienist as thorough as our Canadian hygienist. Then we found Ramsbottom Dental Clinic and Kelly the hygienist. She is thorough but gentle and a lovely friendly person. The new premises are lovely with a large airy and bright waiting area. The receptionists are great and always make you feel welcome. I thoroughly recommend this dental practice.

I started visiting Ramsbottom Dental care a number of years ago when I heard they were good at working with anxious patients! I have now used three of the dentists there and am a regular on the dental plan; a regular check up amd hygienist clean for not much more than a tenner a month.

Today I had a crown undertaken and cannot fault the work. I didn't feel a thing; fast, efficient and pain-free.

All of the staff are friendly, helpful and reassuring; appointments at times convenient to me are always available and I would recommend everyone to give them a try.

Went to see Dr Sophie yesterday with my 12 year old daughter who had chipped her front tooth. Sophie & her assistant Jo were absolutely lovely & did the most amazing job restoring her tooth to its former beauty with composite bonding. Thank you soooooo much from both me & Olivia. I am so impressed with this dental practice, from my initial call & correspondence with Sarah, up to the appointment itself & would highly recommend.

Really clean and friendly environment. Put at ease by the staff who made sure I was comfortable at all times. Very happy with the dental work done. Lots of little touches in the practice that make it relaxed and a pleasant place to be. An excellent experience all round and top class service.
