What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
If you are in pain or have experienced dental trauma, contact us as soon as possible. You do not need to be an existing patient.
Severe Toothache
Persistent or throbbing pain that does not respond to over-the-counter painkillers.
Dental Abscess
Swelling in the gums or face, which may indicate infection. Contact us promptly — abscesses can become serious if untreated.
Broken or Chipped Tooth
Trauma from a fall, accident, or biting something hard. Save any tooth fragments if possible.
Lost Filling or Crown
An exposed tooth can be sensitive and vulnerable. We can often re-cement or place a temporary restoration the same day.
Wisdom Tooth Pain
Infection or impaction causing jaw stiffness, pain, or difficulty opening the mouth.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Time is critical. Place the tooth in milk and contact us immediately — the sooner you are seen, the better the chance of saving it.
What to Expect
From call to relief — how your emergency visit works.
Call or Book Online
Contact us on 020 7183 2362 or book online. We will ask about your symptoms to prepare the dentist and minimise wait time.
Assessment
The dentist examines the problem area and takes X-rays if needed. The cause of pain is identified and explained to you.
Pain Relief
The priority is to get you out of pain. This may involve numbing, a dressing, drainage of an abscess, or antibiotics.
Treatment Plan
Any further treatment needed is explained with costs before proceeding. Some issues can be fully resolved in one visit.

Clear Communication
We explain everything before we do it. No surprises.
While You Wait: First Aid
What to do before your emergency appointment.
Do
- Take over-the-counter painkillers as directed (ibuprofen is often effective for dental pain)
- Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek if swollen
- Keep a knocked-out tooth in milk and bring it with you
- Save any broken tooth fragments
- Call us as soon as possible on 020 7183 2362
Avoid
- ✕ Applying aspirin directly to the gum (can cause burns)
- ✕ Eating on the affected side
- ✕ Very hot or very cold food/drinks on a broken tooth
- ✕ Trying to re-cement a crown with superglue
- ✕ Ignoring facial swelling — this may indicate a spreading infection
If you have difficulty breathing, severe facial swelling affecting your eye or throat, or uncontrolled bleeding, go directly to A&E or call 999.
