When To Contact An Emergency Dentist
Dental issues can change quickly, especially if pain, swelling or an injury is involved. If you are unsure whether to seek urgent help, it is usually best to check with a professional. Early advice can often stop a small problem becoming more difficult.
Situations that may require an emergency dentist can include:
- Severe or persistent toothache that is not settling with over-the-counter pain relief taken as directed
- Dental trauma, such as a chipped, cracked or knocked tooth after an accident
- Swelling of the gum, jaw or face that is increasing or linked to significant discomfort
- Bleeding from the mouth that does not stop after applying gentle pressure
- Lost or broken restorations causing sharp edges or sensitivity
- Sudden sensitivity to hot or cold that feels intense or lasts a long time
If you experience heavy bleeding, difficulty breathing, trauma to the head or neck, or rapidly spreading facial swelling, call 999 or attend A&E immediately. Your safety comes first.

Being at the heart of Brixton, The Ritzy is a well-known local landmark. If you are in or around Brixton Oval and need urgent attention, our Camberwell practice offers a welcoming setting and a clear, step-by-step approach to care:
A focused assessment. Your dentist will examine the area and, where clinically appropriate, may recommend diagnostic imaging or X-rays to find the cause. This gives clarity, supports accuracy and helps us explain your options with confidence.
Immediate relief where possible. Our first priority is to reduce discomfort and stabilise the situation, where suitable and depending on your needs.
Clear guidance. We will describe our findings in plain language, outline immediate options designed to support your comfort and answer your questions so you can decide at your own pace.
Short-term stabilisation. Where appropriate, we can place temporary measures designed to protect the area until a carefully planned treatment approach is agreed.
Follow-up planning. If further care is likely to help, we will arrange a convenient review and provide tailored aftercare advice so you feel supported once you leave.
This gentle, stepwise approach aims to ease today’s symptoms while also protecting your long-term comfort and oral health.

What To Do Before Your Emergency Appointment
While you are arranging to see an emergency dentist, these general tips may help:
02
02Keep The Area Clean
Keep the area as clean as you comfortably can. A warm saltwater rinse, do not swallow, may help keep your mouth fresh.
03
03Knocked-Out Adult Tooth
If a tooth has been knocked out, handle it by the crown, the part you normally see. Rinse with milk if dirty and keep it moist in milk or saliva. Do not scrub or remove any attached tissue. Seek urgent dental advice.
04
04Swelling
For swelling, a cold compress on the outside of the cheek may provide comfort. Do not apply heat.
05
05Broken Or Chipped Tooth
If a restoration has come away and there are sharp edges, consider covering the area with dental wax if available and safe for you to use.
If you are unsure about any of the above, please contact a dental professional for advice that is right for you.
