Dental emergencies we can help with
Not sure if it counts as an emergency? Call us and our team will advise you.
Toothache
Persistent or severe tooth pain needs to be assessed. Read more about toothache.
Broken or chipped teeth
A cracked, chipped or broken tooth can often be made comfortable at your first visit.
Lost fillings or crowns
Keep the crown if you still have it and bring it with you. We will protect the tooth and discuss your options.
Swelling or infection
Swelling in your gum or face can be a sign of infection and should be seen promptly.
Dental trauma
A knock to the mouth or a tooth that has been knocked out needs urgent attention. Call us straight away.
Wisdom tooth pain
Pain or swelling around a wisdom tooth can be assessed and eased.
When to call 999 or go to A&E: if swelling is affecting your breathing or swallowing, you have bleeding that will not stop, or you have a serious injury to your face or jaw. When we are closed, NHS 111 can also advise you.

Emergency dentist FAQs
Do I need to be registered to be seen?
No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.
How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
An emergency appointment is £80 for registered patients and £115 for non registered patients. An out of hours emergency appointment is £215. The cost of any treatment depends on the problem and what is needed, and you can see our prices on our fees page.
We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.
Can you treat the problem on the same day?
We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.
Can a tooth infection go away on its own?
No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.
What will happen at an emergency dental appointment?
During your appointment, the dentist will:
- Examine the problem
- Identify the cause
- Relieve pain where possible
- Explain your options
The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.
Why is my tooth pain worse at night?
Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.
