Same-day Support For Toothache And Dental Injuries
If you need an emergency dentist near Streatham Ice Rink, Dentist By The Green is ready to help. We welcome patients visiting or living around Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre on Streatham High Road, the Olympic-sized rink that is home to Streatham IHC and Streatham Storm, who need urgent dental care.
From our private dental practice in Camberwell, we offer prompt, professional attention for sudden toothache, dental injuries and other urgent problems. After a careful assessment, your care is tailored to your needs. We will explain each step clearly so you feel informed and reassured.
Urgent Dental Problems We Can Help With
Dental emergencies can happen anywhere, whether you have taken a fall on the ice, caught a stray puck, or a severe toothache has suddenly flared up. Please get in touch if you are experiencing any of the following:
If you have significant facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, heavy uncontrolled bleeding, or trauma involving possible head or neck injury, call 999 or attend A&E immediately.
- Severe or worsening toothache that is affecting sleep or daily activities
- A knocked-out, avulsed, adult tooth
- A loose, displaced or broken tooth after trauma
- A cracked tooth causing pain or sensitivity
- Broken or lost fillings or temporary restorations causing discomfort
- Bleeding from the mouth that is not settling
- Swelling of the gum or face, especially if accompanied by fever or feeling unwell
- Dental infections or abscess symptoms such as a bad taste, throbbing pain or tenderness to bite
Aftercare And Recovery
Good aftercare helps healing and comfort. You will receive personalised guidance, which may include:
- How to keep the area clean without disturbing a temporary dressing or tender tissues
- What to expect as the area settles, and when to get back in touch
- Sensible pain management advice and dietary tips while healing
- Signs to watch for, such as increasing swelling, fever or worsening pain, which would require prompt review
If further care could help protect or restore a tooth longer term, for example a bespoke crown or root canal treatment where clinically indicated, we will discuss this once the immediate situation is stable and you feel comfortable.
What To Do Right Now
While you arrange an emergency appointment, these simple steps can help protect your smile and ease discomfort:
If you are unsure what to do, our team will guide you.
- Knocked-out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, the white chewing surface, not the root. If clean, gently place it back into the socket and bite softly on a clean cloth. If you cannot reinsert it, keep the tooth moist in milk or in your cheek. Do not give to small children to hold in the mouth. Do not scrub the root. Contact us straight away.
- Broken or chipped tooth: Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water. Keep any fragments in milk and bring them with you. If sharp edges are rubbing, cover them with orthodontic wax or sugar-free chewing gum until you can be seen.
- Severe toothache: Rinse gently with warm salt water. You may take over-the-counter pain relief as directed on the packet unless told otherwise by a healthcare professional. Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods until assessed.
- Swelling: Do not apply heat. A cool compress on the outside of your face may help with discomfort. If you feel unwell or the swelling is spreading, call for urgent advice.
Your Emergency Dental Appointment
When you contact our reception team, we will listen, triage your symptoms and arrange the earliest suitable appointment. Wherever possible, we aim to see emergency patients promptly. Our first goals are to relieve pain, manage any infection and stabilise the problem so you feel more comfortable.
- Local anaesthesia to keep you comfortable during urgent care
- Smoothing sharp tooth edges, or placing a temporary filling or dressing to calm a painful tooth
- Recementing a restoration where suitable
- Gentle cleaning and drainage for certain infections where appropriate, with antibiotics prescribed only when clinically indicated
- Advice on managing discomfort and inflammation at home
- For dental injuries, stabilising a loose tooth or assessing suitability for reimplantation of a knocked-out tooth
One of our fully qualified dentists will carry out a careful assessment to understand the cause of your symptoms. X-rays may be advised where helpful. These give clear, precise images so we can plan care with accuracy and explain your options with confidence.
Emergency treatment is designed to help you feel more comfortable and to protect your dental health. Depending on your needs, same day care may include:
If further treatment is needed, we will plan this with you once the emergency has been addressed. Suitability for any procedure will always depend on your examination findings, your wider health and your preferences. This careful, evidence-based approach supports your long-term comfort, everyday confidence and oral health.

Ice sports and skating at Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre can sometimes lead to dental trauma, from small chips to more complex injuries.
