It does not matter how well we look after our teeth, sometimes emergencies occur when we least expect them. We understand that you want to solve these problems as quickly as possible. As an existing patient of the practice, if you are in urgent need of dental care please call us at the earliest opportunity during practice hours and we will aim to see you on the same day.
If you are a new patient wishing to arrange an emergency appointment, we may be able to see you for urgent treatment, so please contact us. When the practice is closed, please telephone 020 8905 4849 and follow the instructions in the recorded message.
Toothache advice
If you have toothache then you can phone the surgery and we will try our best to see you on the same day.
If we are closed and you want to wait until the surgery is open again to make an appointment then consider taking some painkillers.
It is important that the painkillers are suitable for you and do not interact with any other medication you are on. If you are not sure then please check with your local pharmacist who will be able to advise you.
Please make sure that you do not exceed the maximum dose of any painkillers you do take. Some people think that using oil of cloves or aspirin directly on the tooth is a good idea but this can result in burning the gum, so please don’t do that.
Frequently Asked Question
We aim to provide same-day emergency appointments whenever possible. If you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, or have suffered dental trauma, call us as soon as possible, and we’ll do our best to see you at the earliest available time.
An emergency consultation costs £50, which covers your assessment and diagnosis by one of our experienced dentists. If any additional treatment is required, such as fillings, extractions, or pain relief, we will discuss the options and costs with you before proceeding, ensuring complete transparency.
We are conveniently based in Edgware, making us easily accessible for patients in North London and surrounding areas. Our clinic is well-connected by public transport and offers parking nearby for those travelling by car. If you need urgent dental care and are in or around Edgware, we’re here to help.
We provide emergency dental care for a range of urgent issues, including:
- Severe toothache or infections – If you’re in pain, we can diagnose and treat the issue promptly.
- Knocked-out or broken teeth – Quick action can help save or restore your tooth.
- Lost fillings or crowns – If a filling or crown has come loose, we can provide a replacement or temporary solution.
- Swelling or abscesses – Untreated infections can worsen, so we offer immediate relief and treatment.
- Uncontrolled bleeding – If you have bleeding that doesn’t stop, urgent care is essential.
If you’re unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us for advice, and we’ll guide you on the best next steps.
If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown (the top part) and avoid touching the root. If possible, place it back in the socket without forcing it. If this isn’t possible, store it in a container of milk or saliva to keep it moist. Time is critical – contact us immediately, as the sooner you receive treatment, the better the chances of saving your tooth.
