Question 1

Does Homerton Hospital have a dental emergency department?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Homerton University Hospital provides dental emergency services for Hackney residents. NHS emergency care is available at Band 1 rates. For out-of-hours emergencies, call NHS 111 who can direct you to the Homerton's on-call dental service or the nearest available emergency provider.

Question 2

Can I see an emergency dentist in Hackney without being registered?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several practices in Dalston and Stoke Newington hold same-day emergency slots for both registered and non-registered patients. Private emergency assessments typically cost £50–£120. You can also access NHS emergency care through the Homerton without being a registered patient.

Question 3

Question 4

Do I need to be registered with a dentist?

Accepted Answer

No. You can request an emergency appointment without being an existing patient. Private emergency clinics will see new patients on the same day.

Question 5

Will they fix the problem permanently?

Accepted Answer

Emergency visits focus on stabilising pain and infection. Definitive treatment such as a crown, root canal, or extraction may be planned after assessment.

Question 6

What if I'm not sure it's an emergency?

Accepted Answer

It's safer to be assessed. If you're in pain or have swelling, a dentist can diagnose the cause and advise on next steps. Pearlie helps you connect with clinics quickly.

Question 7

How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?

Accepted Answer

A private emergency assessment typically costs £50 to £150, with additional charges for treatment. For example, a temporary filling is £80 to £150, an extraction £100 to £400, and an emergency root canal £300 to £700. Pearlie shows you expected price ranges before you attend.

Question 8

Can I see an emergency dentist on weekends or at night?

Accepted Answer

Some private dental clinics offer weekend and evening emergency appointments. NHS 111 can also direct you to out of hours dental services. If you have a life threatening emergency such as severe breathing difficulty or uncontrolled bleeding, go to A&E.

Question 9

Should I go to A&E for a dental emergency?

Accepted Answer

A&E is only appropriate for life threatening situations: severe facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or facial trauma. For most dental emergencies such as toothache, broken tooth, or lost filling, an emergency dental clinic is the right place. A&E doctors are not equipped to provide dental treatment.
