Are you experiencing Emergency Pain & Swelling?
Dental emergencies can happen at any time, and severe pain is often the first warning sign. Whether it's a throbbing toothache, sudden swelling, or trauma from an accident, we are here to help you fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call our emergency line for guidance. Take over-the-counter painkillers like ibuprofen and avoid very hot or cold foods. If you have severe swelling, fever, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, go to A&E immediately.
While pain may temporarily subside, the underlying cause will not resolve itself. Delaying treatment often leads to more serious complications like abscesses, spreading infection, or tooth loss. Early treatment is always better.
Emergency assessment fees start from £45. Treatment costs vary depending on the procedure required—we will always discuss costs and options with you before proceeding so there are no surprises.
True emergencies include severe uncontrolled pain, significant facial swelling, knocked-out or broken teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, and signs of spreading infection. We prioritise these cases for same-day appointments whenever possible.
Time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown only, rinse gently without scrubbing, and try to reinsert it into the socket. If you cannot, place it in milk and get to us within 30-60 minutes for the best chance of saving it.
