Our steady, step-by-step approach helps protect your oral health today and supports long-term comfort and confidence. Patients visit us from East Street Market and across Walworth, Elephant & Castle and Camberwell because we combine sound clinical judgement with a calm, empathetic manner. Every emergency is different, so we tailor care to you, prioritising pain relief and immediate stability, then planning the next step after a thorough assessment.
Where possible, we aim to offer same-day emergency appointments, subject to availability. If a same-day slot is not suitable or available, we will advise you on simple interim steps to help keep you comfortable until you can be seen.
Common Dental Emergencies We See And How We Help
Toothache and sensitivity: Severe toothache can have many causes. Your clinician will identify the most likely source of discomfort and, where suitable, provide treatment aimed at reducing pain and supporting the tooth. Short-term measures may be used to settle symptoms before longer-term care is planned, helping you eat more comfortably and feel more at ease day to day.
- Broken or chipped tooth: A bite on something hard or a knock can leave sharp, sensitive edges. After examining the tooth, we may smooth rough areas and place a protective temporary measure, where appropriate, to guard the tooth and soft tissues. We will then discuss options for a durable repair, such as a carefully planned filling or a bespoke crown when indicated.
- Knocked-out or loosened adult tooth: Time matters. If it is safe to do so, hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, and avoid touching the root. If the tooth is clean, you may gently try to place it back in the socket and hold it with light pressure. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saliva and seek emergency dental care. We will assess the area and advise on immediate and follow-up steps after a clinical examination.
- Lost filling or sudden fracture of a restoration: Exposed tooth tissue can feel tender or sensitive. We will check the tooth and, where suitable, place a temporary measure to protect it, while discussing options for definitive care once the tooth has been fully assessed. Our aim is to reduce irritation, support your comfort and plan a solution that fits well and feels natural.
- Swelling or a suspected abscess: Localised swelling can be uncomfortable and may signal a problem that needs prompt attention. After assessing the area, we will advise on steps that may help reduce symptoms and support healing. If medication is clinically indicated, this will be discussed as part of a tailored plan. If you feel unwell, or notice swelling that is spreading, this requires urgent attention.
Preparing For Your Emergency Appointment
Bring a list of any medications you take and relevant medical information.
If you have suffered a dental injury, keep any fragments or the whole tooth moist in milk or saliva and avoid scrubbing it.
Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods and drinks if they make pain worse.
Over-the-counter pain relief can be used as directed unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional. Do not place painkillers directly on the gum.
