Patients from Parsons Green and nearby Fulham locations choose Dentist By The Green for:
Prompt, compassionate attention: We prioritise urgent cases and aim to offer same-day appointments where available.
Calm, patient-focused care: Dental pain feels personal. We explain each step clearly and check in with you throughout.
Clinical clarity: You receive straightforward guidance about what is happening and the options that may help after an assessment.
Continuity: Emergency treatment is designed to stabilise. If you wish, we can arrange follow-up appointments to complete definitive care, depending on your needs.
Our aim is that you feel heard, supported and looked after.

Severe toothache and abscesses: Throbbing pain, tenderness on biting or sensitivity to hot and cold can point to inflammation or a deep problem inside a tooth. We assess the nerve health and the surrounding tissues, provide pain relief and, where suitable, begin treatment to calm the tooth and reduce pressure. If an abscess is present, we may drain it where appropriate and outline the next steps for longer-term care.
Broken or chipped teeth: A crack or fracture can feel sharp and leave the tooth vulnerable. We work to smooth rough edges, protect exposed dentine with a temporary restoration and discuss options for a bespoke crown or other restoration after your emergency visit.
Lost fillings or crowns: When a restoration comes away, the underlying tooth can feel sensitive. If clinically appropriate, we can re-cement a crown or place a temporary filling to shield the tooth until a definitive solution is planned.
Knocked out or displaced teeth: Speed matters. If an adult tooth has been avulsed and is kept moist, reimplantation may be considered after examination. Where a tooth has been loosened or pushed out of position, we will assess the supporting tissues and discuss immediate management and follow-up care.
If something worries you and it is not listed here, please still get in touch for advice.

You can reach Dentist By The Green by car, bus, bike and train. Our practice is based in Camberwell at 25A Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RS. If you are travelling from Parsons Green or elsewhere in London, choose the route that suits you. If you are unsure, our team can offer general guidance so your visit feels straightforward.
Pain: Take over the counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if this is safe for you and you are not allergic. Do not exceed the stated dose. Avoid placing aspirin on the gum.
Swelling: Keep upright and avoid applying heat to the face. If you develop fever, spreading swelling or feel unwell, seek urgent medical assessment.
Broken tooth: Keep any fragments. If a sharp edge is rubbing, orthodontic wax from a pharmacy can help protect your cheek or tongue until you can be seen.
Knocked out adult tooth: Handle the tooth by the crown, the white part, not the root. If visibly dirty, gently rinse with cold water for a second or two, do not scrub. If you can, gently place it back into the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If not possible, store it in cold milk or saliva and contact us straight away. Do not attempt to reinsert a baby tooth.
Bleeding: Apply firm, continuous pressure with a clean cloth or gauze for at least 10 to 15 minutes without checking. If bleeding does not slow, seek urgent care.
These simple steps can make a real difference before your visit.
