A dental emergency is any issue involving your teeth, gums, or jaw that causes significant pain, swelling, bleeding, or risk of infection, or could worsen if left untreated.
You may need an emergency dentist near you if you are experiencing:
If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, it is always safer to call and ask. Our team can help you decide the next best step.
Persistent or intense toothache is one of the most common reasons patients seek urgent dental care. Pain may be caused by decay, infection, nerve inflammation, or a dental abscess. Emergency treatment focuses on relieving pain and identifying the underlying cause.
Broken or cracked teeth
A broken tooth emergency can happen due to accidents, falls, or biting something hard. Even if pain is mild at first, cracks can worsen quickly. Early treatment can help prevent infection or further damage.
Knocked-out teeth
A tooth that has been knocked out requires immediate attention. Acting quickly can sometimes improve the chance of saving the tooth, especially if you attend an emergency dental appointment as soon as possible.
Dental abscesses
A dental abscess is a serious infection that can cause swelling, fever, bad taste, and severe pain. Dental abscess treatment is urgent, as infections can spread if left untreated.
Lost fillings or crowns
When a filling or crown falls out, the exposed tooth can become sensitive or painful. Emergency care can protect the tooth and restore comfort until permanent treatment is completed.
Swelling, infection, or bleeding
Facial swelling, gum infections, or ongoing bleeding after dental trauma should always be assessed promptly by an emergency dentist.
If a tooth is knocked out
If there is severe bleeding
If a tooth is broken
If a filling or crown is lost
If you suspect an abscess or infection
Initial assessment
Your emergency appointment begins with a focused assessment to understand your pain, symptoms, and medical history. X-rays may be taken if needed.
Pain relief first
Our priority is to relieve pain and stabilise the problem. This may involve temporary treatment, medication where appropriate, or urgent intervention.
Clear explanation of options
Any recommended treatment will be explained clearly, including benefits, risks, and next steps. You will have time to ask questions before proceeding.
We aim to offer same-day dentist appointments whenever possible at both our City Road and Enfield practices. We welcome:

We understand that cost can be a concern, especially during stressful situations.
Emergency appointment fees
The cost of an emergency dental appointment depends on the assessment and treatment required. Fees are explained clearly before treatment begins.
NHS vs private emergency care
Some NHS emergency dentist treatments may be available, depending on eligibility and availability. Private emergency care often allows faster access and more flexible appointment times.
Payment and affordability
We aim to be transparent and supportive. If affordability is a concern, please speak to our team — we will explain options and help where possible.
Knowing whether to contact an emergency dentist near you or attend A&E can save time and prevent unnecessary discomfort.

Attend A&E immediately if you experience:
Hospitals are best equipped for medical emergencies beyond dental treatment.
If you are waiting to be seen by an emergency dentist, a few simple steps can help reduce discomfort and prevent the problem from worsening. These measures are temporary and do not replace professional dental treatment.

Dentique Specialist Dentist Dental Arts Studio is an excellent practice. They are very efficient and friendly. I have always had brilliant service from them, whether it be an emergency appointment or a normal check up. My children come here too. The dentists are excellent with them and they have none of the traditional ‘fear’ of the dentist. I highly recommend them. – N.M
Dental Art Studio was recommended to me by my fiancee who is also a very nervous patient.
They were excellent at explaining to me what was going to happen during the process of two fillings, one of which was very large. They made me feel very reassured during both procedures and were very professional without being impersonal.
The best dentist that have ever worked on me! – James Dee
