Where can I get emergency dental care in Islington on a weekend?

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

Will they fix the problem permanently?

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

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

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.

How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?

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

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.

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

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.
