Friendly, professional help from our Camberwell team when you need it most.

If you need an emergency dentist near Herne Hill Market, Dentist By The Green in Camberwell is ready to help. Our private dental team welcomes patients from the Herne Hill area for urgent assessments and care focused on comfort and safety. We aim to settle pain quickly and, where suitable, protect and stabilise damaged teeth.
You will be seen by fully qualified dental professionals who plan treatment carefully and explain your options clearly. Our practice is at 25A Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RS, just a short trip from the market area by Herne Hill Station.

Herne Hill Market runs along Railton Road beside Herne Hill Station, with Brockwell Park and the Lido just across the way. Many people who visit the market or live nearby in SE24 come to our Camberwell practice when they need prompt, professional dental care.
While we are not based at the market, we regularly see patients from the surrounding streets, Station Square and the wider Herne Hill neighbourhood for emergency appointments. Choosing a team who explains your choices and treats the immediate problem with care can help you feel reassured now and support long term comfort and oral health.

Please contact us as soon as you can if you experience any of the following:

Your visit focuses on a clear diagnosis and immediate support. Depending on what you need, your appointment may include:
A thorough clinical assessment to find the cause of your symptoms
X-rays if clinically needed to check for hidden issues, giving clarity so care can be carefully planned
Steps to ease pain and help reduce inflammation
Measures to shield exposed tooth surfaces and stabilise damaged areas
Advice on caring for the affected area at home and what to avoid
A personal plan for any follow-on care that may be recommended once things have settled
Our first priority is to make you comfortable and address the urgent concern. Any longer term treatment is discussed fully and only advised if it is suitable for you.

Whether toothache started while browsing the market stalls by the station or you chipped a tooth after sport in the park, a sudden problem can stop you in your tracks. Our team offers considerate, efficient care to help you feel comfortable again and support your recovery. We will not rush your appointment. We focus on what matters first, explain your options in plain English and agree next steps at a pace that feels right for you.

Once the urgent issue is addressed, we provide guidance on:
If additional treatment is advised, we will arrange a suitable time and make sure you understand what it involves, any alternatives and how it supports your comfort and everyday confidence.

Fast, considerate triage: When you call, our team will ask a few simple questions to understand what has happened and how you feel. This helps us offer guidance straight away and arrange the earliest suitable appointment.
Same-day availability where possible: We may be able to offer same-day emergency appointments, subject to availability. If we are fully booked, we will advise on the next best option and keep you updated.
Calm, patient-focused care: Dental problems can be unsettling, especially after an incident near busy spots like the market, the station or Brockwell Park. Our clinicians explain each step so you know what is happening and how it helps.
Clear next steps: After your initial care, we outline any recommended follow-up and can provide written guidance where helpful, so you know how to look after the area as it heals.

If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown, gently rinse off visible dirt if needed, and keep it moist in milk or in your own saliva. Do not scrub the root.
For a broken tooth, cover any sharp edges with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum to protect your cheek or tongue until you are seen.
Avoid heat, very cold drinks and hard chewing on the affected side until you have been assessed.
Bring details of any medicines you take and tell us about allergies or relevant medical conditions.
