Dental emergencies we can help with
Not sure if it counts as an emergency? If you are in pain or worried, call us and we will advise you.
Severe toothache
Persistent or throbbing toothache that is not settling, or pain that keeps you awake at night.
Swelling or infection
A swollen gum or face, or a dental abscess, needs to be assessed promptly.
Broken or chipped teeth
Cracked, broken or sharp teeth can often be smoothed, repaired or protected.
Lost fillings or crowns
We can protect the tooth and talk you through replacing the filling or crown.
Knocked out teeth and trauma
Accidents and sports injuries need urgent attention. Call us straight away.
Bleeding or pain after treatment
Ongoing pain or bleeding after an extraction or other treatment should be checked.
When to seek other urgent help: if you have swelling that is affecting your breathing, swallowing or vision, bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury to your face or jaw, go to A&E or call 999. Outside our opening hours, NHS 111 can direct you to urgent dental care.

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?
The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.
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.
