Urgent dental problems can feel unsettling, especially if they happen while you are out near Kennington Park, around Oval Station or along Kennington Park Road. From the moment you call, you can expect respectful, kind and clear communication.
We will take time to listen, examine carefully and answer your questions. Any digital imaging we use is chosen to give comfort and clarity, so you can see what is happening and why a particular option is recommended. Our modern environment is set up to support your comfort at each step.

These first-aid steps may help before you reach us. Always contact a dentist for personalised advice.
Severe toothache: Rinse gently with lukewarm water. Use over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packet, a pharmacist can advise. Do not place aspirin on the gum.
Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If it is dirty, rinse briefly with milk or saline, do not scrub. If you can, gently reinsert it into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If reinsertion is not possible, keep the tooth moist in milk or in your cheek. Baby teeth should not be reinserted.
Chipped or broken tooth: Save any fragments in milk. If there are sharp edges, cover carefully with dental wax or sugar-free chewing gum to protect your cheek or tongue.
Swelling: Do not apply heat. A cold compress on the face may help with comfort. If your swelling is severe or spreading, or you feel unwell, seek urgent help.
Soft-tissue injury: For minor bleeding, press a clean cloth or gauze against the area for up to 10 minutes. If bleeding does not slow, seek immediate medical attention.
Try to avoid very hot or very cold foods and choose softer options until you have been assessed. Small steps now can make you more comfortable.

Our priority is to relieve pain, reduce the risk of further damage and stabilise the situation. After a careful clinical assessment, we will explain our findings in plain English and outline what can help. Emergency appointments are designed to:
Every situation is different. Where possible, we aim to provide treatment to ease symptoms at your emergency visit.

We welcome enquiries from adults and older teenagers. If you are calling on behalf of a vulnerable adult or a young person, please let our reception team know so we can advise appropriately. Suitability for any treatment will always depend on clinical assessment and your individual needs.

Managing discomfort with over-the-counter pain relief as directed
Avoiding smoking and alcohol while tissues heal
