What to do before your appointment
While waiting to see our emergency dentist, a few simple steps can help manage discomfort and protect your teeth. Avoid touching or wiggling damaged teeth or gums, rinse gently with warm water to keep the area clean, and use over-the-counter pain relief if suitable, avoiding aspirin. Avoid very hot or cold drinks, keep any knocked-out tooth moist in milk or saline, and do not attempt self-treatment such as extraction or drainage. If swelling or bleeding is severe, call 111 or go directly to the nearest hospital.
Types of dental emergencies we treat
Toothache and infection
Persistent or severe toothache is a common sign of infection. Our dentists identify the source quickly and provide medication, root canal treatment or extraction where required.
Cracked or broken tooth
Cracks or fractures can lead to infection or pain. We repair the damage using fillings, inlays, crowns or veneers, restoring both appearance and function.
Knocked-out teeth
If a tooth has been dislodged by trauma, immediate action is vital. Bring the tooth with you in milk or a tooth preservation kit, as reimplantation is sometimes possible if treated quickly.
Emergency root canal
Severe infection or abscess in the tooth pulp requires urgent intervention. Our emergency root canal treatment removes bacteria and relieves pain, preserving the natural tooth wherever possible.
Broken crowns, bridges or veneers
We can re-cement or replace restorations the same day. In some cases, temporary replacements can be fitted while a new one is created.
Tooth extraction
If a tooth is beyond repair, we provide gentle, precise extractions under local anaesthetic, followed by advice on replacement options such as implants or bridges.
Emergency care for children
Children can experience dental injuries through sports or accidents. Our dentists provide calm, expert care to treat trauma, protect developing teeth and ease discomfort.
How much is an emergency dentist in the UK?
Private emergency dentist fees vary based on the treatment required. An emergency appointment to relieve pain is £300, and a review is £150. Any additional treatment such as fillings, extractions or root canal therapy is discussed and agreed before proceeding. NHS emergency care is often limited to pain relief or extraction, whereas private emergency dentistry offers immediate, high-quality treatment.
