Dental emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out or broken teeth, abscesses (facial swelling), uncontrolled bleeding after extraction, and damage to dental work. If swelling affects your breathing or you have a high fever, go to A&E immediately.
For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist in milk and see a dentist within 30 minutes. For severe pain, take over-the-counter painkillers (ibuprofen is usually most effective). For swelling, apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek. Avoid aspirin directly on gums.
NHS emergency dental care costs £26.80 (Band 1). Access is through NHS 111 or walk-in dental emergency departments. Private emergency appointments typically cost £50–£150 for assessment, with treatment costs additional. Private practices often offer same-day availability.
Regular dental check-ups help identify problems before they become emergencies. Wear a mouthguard for contact sports. Address tooth sensitivity or minor pain early — most emergencies develop from untreated issues. Keep your dentist's emergency contact details saved in your phone.
Islington has a relatively good mix of NHS and private dentists. The Whittington Health NHS Trust operates community dental services across the borough.
