What is an emergency dentist?

An emergency dentist treats urgent dental problems that can't wait for a routine appointment: severe toothache, a knocked-out or broken tooth, sudden swelling, or a lost filling. The priority is getting you out of pain fast, then fixing the cause.

If swelling is spreading to your eye or neck, or you're struggling to breathe or swallow, go straight to a hospital A&E first.

Who it's for

Can you see me today?

We keep slots for emergencies and aim to see urgent cases the same day. WhatsApp or call us and describe what is happening so we can prioritise you.

Do I need an appointment for a dental emergency?

Message or call first so we can prepare and slot you in fast. Walk-ins are welcome if you can't reach us, but a quick WhatsApp usually gets you seen sooner.

My toothache stopped, is the problem gone?

Often no. Pain that suddenly disappears can mean the nerve has died, which still needs treatment. Get it checked even if it feels better.

How do I manage pain until my appointment?

Rinse with warm salt water, take your usual over-the-counter painkiller as directed, and apply a cold compress for swelling. Avoid very hot, cold, or hard foods.

Can a knocked-out tooth be saved?

Sometimes, if you act fast. Keep it moist in milk and get to us within the hour for the best chance of re-implanting it.

Is swelling a dental emergency?

Yes. Swelling usually means infection, which can spread. Don't wait it out, contact us promptly and seek hospital care if it's spreading rapidly.
