Emergency Dentist

A dental emergency means you require urgent dental assistance and/or you are in severe dental pain. A dental emergency can occur from various situations, such as an infection, dental injury and trauma. If you are in dental pain, contact us for an emergency dental appointment. We will do our best to get you seen as soon as possible.

Contact us immediately, and we will endeavour to make you an emergency dentist appointment as soon as possible. Our emergency dentists can cover a wide range of issues and aim to get you out of any pain or discomfort within an hour of seeing you.

There is usually no need for you to visit A&E for a dental emergency, as dentists are far better equipped to treat you in a dental practice than a doctor in a hospital. You should only go to A&E if you have toothache and the area around your eye and neck is swollen. Or if there is swelling in your mouth or neck making it difficult to breathe, swallow or speak.

You may also waste time waiting in A&E to find you can’t be effectively treated. If you have a dental emergency, the best option is to contact us for advice.

Do not go to your GP as they will not be able to give you dental treatment.

Call our friendly team today and book an emergency dentist appointment. We have dedicated slots for dental emergencies, including late evening and same day dentist appointments.

We charge £120 for an emergency dental appointment. We will work out what treatment you may need and will provide you with a full price breakdown of any additional charges and various options for treatment.

It’s important to see a dentist as soon as you can if you have toothache. You can take painkillers and use an analgesic gel which can numb the area for a while. You can also rinse your mouth out with warm, salty water. (children should not try this) This can help rinse your mouth of the bacteria that could be causing you issues. An ice pack can be applied to the cheek to help reduce swelling.

How long your toothache will last does depend on the underlying cause. If you have a temporary gum irritation, then the pain should go away within a day or two. If the problem is an abscess or cavity, the pain may come and go in waves, but it won’t go away entirely until you have got the dental issue resolved.

The emergency dentist can offer dental treatment for missing teeth, infections, abscesses, and any dental related emergency. We can offer telephone advice and will do our best to see you on the same day you contact us. Our dentists listen to your problem and explain the treatment options available to get you out of pain and back on the road to recovery. We will also follow up your dental care to ensure you are recovering well.

By their very nature, most dental emergencies cannot be avoided. However, if you maintain a good regular oral hygiene routine, your teeth and gums will be in the best condition and better able to avoid severe pain due to decay or an abscess.
