What is a dental emergency?
A dental emergency is any problem that requires immediate attention to relieve pain, prevent infection, or protect your teeth. This includes severe toothache, swelling, dental abscesses, broken or knocked-out teeth, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of infection.
If you’re unsure whether your situation counts as an emergency, contacting us allows us to assess your symptoms and advise you appropriately — including directing you to 24/7 emergency dental support if you need it.
How much does an emergency dentist cost?
The cost of seeing an emergency dentist depends on the assessment and treatment required. We explain fees clearly before treatment begins, so you understand what’s involved and can make informed decisions during a stressful time.
Many patients choose to join one of our membership plans, which include access to the Global Dental Accident and Emergency Scheme. This scheme offers discretionary support for patients who require treatment following an accident or experience a dental emergency, helping to reduce unexpected costs.

Do I need an emergency dental appointment?
You should seek urgent dental care if you’re experiencing severe pain, swelling, infection, bleeding, or trauma to a tooth or jaw. Dental problems rarely resolve on their own, and delaying treatment can allow issues to worsen.
If you're unsure whether their problem is urgent, contact us and we’ll be happy to give you clear advice on what to do next. If your issue occurs out of hours, you’ll still be able to access emergency dental support through our on-call service.
