What To Expect At Your Urgent Appointment
Our first priority is to help you feel more comfortable and to understand what is happening. Your emergency visit will typically include:
Every situation is different. Any treatment provided during your emergency appointment will depend on a clinical assessment and your individual needs. We focus first on easing pain and protecting your oral health, then we discuss longer term options once you feel more comfortable. When X-rays are needed, they are used to give you and your clinician a clearer picture. This supports accuracy, helps you understand the problem and makes decisions easier to follow.
- A focused discussion about your symptoms, medical history and any recent injury
- A careful clinical examination, and dental X-rays only where clinically indicated
- Immediate steps to help relieve pain and reduce any irritation or swelling
- Stabilisation of the affected area where suitable, with a short term solution if needed
- Clear guidance on next steps and a personalised plan for any follow up care
Same-Day Emergency Appointments, Subject To Availability
We set aside time wherever possible for urgent cases and we do our best to offer same-day emergency appointments for patients from Sydenham and nearby areas. Availability varies, so please contact our reception team as early as you can. If our clinicians believe you require more immediate medical attention than a dental appointment can provide, we will advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
A Careful, Patient-First Approach
Emergency dental care is not just about speed, it is about making the right decisions for your health. At Dentist By The Green, our clinicians take time to examine the likely cause of your symptoms and to explain options in clear, straightforward language. Where suitable, we aim to relieve pain at your first visit and to protect teeth and gums from further harm. Suitability for any treatment depends on your clinical assessment, and any proposed follow up is based on your needs and preferences after a discussion of benefits, risks and alternatives. We plan care responsibly so you can make informed choices at your own pace.
Calm, Clear Guidance When You Need It Most
Dental pain can be unsettling. Our team keeps communication straightforward and reassuring so you know what is happening and why. We will explain what may help in the short term, what to avoid until you are seen, and how to care for the area afterwards. Any recommendations are tailored to your symptoms and overall health.
After Your Emergency Visit
Once your immediate concern has been addressed, we will outline any recommended aftercare. This may include advice on eating and drinking, how to keep the area clean, and any short term changes to your usual routine to support healing. If further treatment may help, such as a bespoke crown or bridge, a replacement tooth, or gum health support, we will arrange an appropriate follow up appointment at a time that works for you. All care recommendations depend on your individual assessment. Our aim is to help you return to eating comfortably and smiling with confidence in photos.

We understand that finding an emergency dentist in Sydenham can feel stressful at short notice. Dentist By The Green welcomes patients from Sydenham and surrounding neighbourhoods in South London to our Camberwell practice, based at 25A Denmark Hill, London SE5 8RS. You can reach us by car, bus, bike and train, and our reception team can provide general access information if that would be helpful.
Practical Self-Care Before You See Us
These general tips may help until you reach an emergency dentist. They are not a substitute for a clinical assessment:
If you are unsure what to do, our reception team can guide you until you are seen.
- Severe toothache: Rinse gently with warm salty water. Over the counter pain relief may help, always follow the instructions and check it is suitable for you. Avoid placing aspirin directly on the gum.
- Swelling: A cold compress on the outside of your cheek may help reduce discomfort. Do not apply heat to a swollen area.
- Knocked out adult tooth: If you can, pick it up by the crown, the white part, not the root. If the tooth is clean, you may gently try to place it back into the socket and bite down on clean gauze. If that is not possible, keep it moist in milk or saline, do not let it dry out, and contact us promptly.
- Broken tooth or lost dental work: Keep any fragments if possible. Avoid chewing on the affected side and stick to soft foods.
- Bleeding after an injury: Apply gentle, continuous pressure with clean gauze. If bleeding does not stop, seek urgent medical help.
