If you are near the Imperial War Museum on Lambeth Road (SE1 6HZ) and toothache, swelling or an injury starts suddenly, we can help. Our team at Dentist By The Green offers calm, professional urgent care from our private practice in Camberwell. We often see people who work locally, live nearby or are visiting the museum, and we aim to offer urgent appointments as soon as we can, subject to availability.
Dentist By The Green is at 25A Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RS. We are a modern, patient-focused private practice providing private emergency dental appointments. Whether your concern begins while exploring the galleries or during a break at the IWM Cafe, we will help you feel more comfortable and explain clear next steps that fit your needs. You can reach us by car, bus, bike or train. If you are travelling from SE1, choose the route that suits you and allow time to arrive safely.

Being away from home or stepping out from work can make a dental problem feel even more disruptive. If toothache starts while you are in or around the Imperial War Museum on Lambeth Road in SE1, our team will do everything we can to help you feel reassured and cared for.
Let us know if you are a visitor with limited time. We will work with you to prioritise comfort and set out clear next steps, including any follow-up that may be needed, so you can return to your plans with confidence.

Please get in touch promptly if you notice:
If you are unsure whether it is urgent, call our reception team. We will guide you on sensible next steps. If you have heavy bleeding, trouble breathing or severe facial swelling with fever or feeling unwell, please seek immediate help via urgent medical services.

Whether you are on Lambeth Road at the museum, nearby at work or exploring SE1 for the day, you are welcome to contact Dentist By The Green for prompt, patient-focused urgent dental care.
We will listen, assess carefully and provide calm, practical support to help you eat more comfortably, smile with everyday confidence and move forward with a clear plan. If you would like to talk things through, our team can help you understand your options and advise on how to seek urgent help when needed.

Your urgent visit is there to assess the problem, ease pain where possible and protect the area. At your appointment:
We will listen carefully to what has happened and examine your mouth
X-rays may be taken if appropriate to see what is going on beneath the surface and to guide safe care
We will explain our findings in clear, straightforward language
Immediate steps will focus on comfort and protecting the tooth or soft tissues
Short-term measures may be provided while longer-term options are considered, based on your needs
Any further treatment will depend on your individual assessment. We will only suggest options that are suitable for you after a clinical examination. This measured, evidence-based approach is designed to support long-term comfort and confidence in your oral health.

A dental emergency can feel unsettling, especially if it happens while you are out for the day near the museum. Our priority is to reduce discomfort and give you a practical plan. Where suitable, same-day emergency appointments may be offered, subject to clinical need and availability. If a same-day visit is not available, we will offer the earliest appropriate time and clear guidance to help you care for the area in the meantime. We welcome both existing and new patients for urgent care. You will be seen by fully qualified dental professionals who follow safe, ethical and evidence-based planning. We take time to explain what is likely to help, which options are suitable and how to move forward at a pace that feels manageable. Suitability for any particular approach will always depend on your assessment and individual clinical needs.

Every emergency is different, but the goal is to manage pain, protect the area and reduce the risk of things getting worse where possible. Depending on your needs, we may:
Smooth sharp edges to protect your cheeks and tongue
Place a temporary protective material to cover exposed areas
Provide guidance to help minimise further irritation before any definitive care
Offer advice on caring for the area and returning for follow-up if required
We will always make time to discuss what may help now and what further care could be considered after a full evaluation.
These general measures may help while you are on your way:
Keep the area clean with gentle rinsing in lukewarm water
If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown, the white part, and keep it moist in milk or saliva if you can, do not scrub it
Place a cool compress on the outside of your cheek to help with swelling
Over-the-counter pain relief can be used as directed on the packet if it is safe for you
These suggestions do not replace an examination. We will confirm the most appropriate course of action when we see you.
