Dentist By The Green is based in Camberwell at 25A Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RS. Patients visit us by car, bus, bike and train, choosing the option that suits them best. If you are travelling from Bishops Park or nearby neighbourhoods, our reception team can share practical arrival details when you arrange your visit.

Dental problems can escalate quickly. Please contact us as soon as you can if you have:
If swelling affects your breathing, vision or ability to swallow, or if there is heavy bleeding that does not stop, seek urgent medical help immediately.

Dental emergencies can feel unsettling. Our reception team will listen, note your concerns and offer clear guidance on the next available appointment.

On arrival, you will be greeted by a friendly team who understand the urgency and will focus on helping you feel comfortable as soon as possible.

Emergency dental care is designed to:
Reduce pain and sensitivity so you can function more comfortably
Protect exposed tooth tissue until a longer-term solution is arranged
Lower the risk of a local issue spreading
Stabilise teeth after an accident, where suitable
Give you a short-term plan and clear, personalised aftercare
Every case is different. Your dentist will explain likely causes, discuss options and support you to make informed decisions. If further treatment is advisable, we will outline the next steps and timeframes, guided by your clinical assessment and what feels manageable for you.
While you arrange an emergency appointment, these steps may help:
Pain relief: Take over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if suitable for you, following the guidance on the packet. Do not place aspirin on the tooth or gum.
Broken tooth or sharp edge: Keep any fragments you can find and bring them with you. If a rough edge is rubbing your cheek or tongue, cover it with orthodontic wax or a small piece of sugar-free gum for comfort.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If dirty, gently rinse with milk or saline. If it slides back in easily and you feel confident, you can try to place it in the socket and bite gently on a clean cloth. If not, store it in milk or saliva and bring it straight to your appointment. Do not scrub the root. This advice is for adult teeth only.
Bleeding from soft tissues: Apply gentle, steady pressure with a clean cloth or gauze for 10 to 15 minutes.
Swelling: Use a cold compress on the outside of your cheek in short intervals. Avoid heat.
Keep the area clean: Gently brush around the area and avoid poking or prodding painful spots.
If you are unsure about any step, our team will talk you through what to do.
01
We will ask a few questions to understand your symptoms and how urgent they are. This helps us offer the right appointment and initial advice.

02
You will complete a concise medical history so we can treat you safely. Your dentist will examine the area and explain the findings in plain English.

03
Where possible and appropriate, we will provide treatment to relieve pain, reduce the risk of further harm and support healing.

04
You will receive guidance on caring for the area at home. If needed, we will arrange a review to monitor progress or discuss longer-term options for your comfort and function.


After your emergency visit you will receive tailored instructions. In general:
Continue with pain relief if advised and suitable for you
Keep the area clean by brushing gently and using a lukewarm saltwater rinse to ease soreness
Avoid very hot, very cold or hard foods on the affected side until sensitivity settles
If you have a temporary restoration, treat it with care and avoid sticky foods that may dislodge it
Please contact us promptly if pain worsens, swelling develops or something does not feel right. In rare situations where swelling affects breathing or swallowing, or if there is significant bleeding or loss of consciousness, seek urgent medical help immediately.
Your Emergency Appointment At Dentist By The Green
Our first priority is to help you feel more comfortable and understand what is happening. During your visit, your clinician will:
Listen to your symptoms and any recent incidents
Examine the tooth, gum and nearby tissues
Take dental X-rays where clinically indicated, which helps us see roots and bone for clarity and accuracy
Provide immediate, conservative care to relieve pain and stabilise the situation where suitable
Depending on your needs, emergency care may include smoothing a sharp edge, placing a temporary filling or dressing, re-cementing a crown where appropriate, adjusting your bite, or opening and cleaning a tooth to ease pressure.
If there is a build-up causing discomfort, your dentist may discuss drainage and, where suitable, a prescription to support recovery. You will receive clear guidance on aftercare and any further options once the immediate concern has been managed. This calm, step by step approach supports comfort, confidence and your long-term oral health.
