Same-Day Emergency Dental Appointments

When a dental problem suddenly becomes painful or uncomfortable, waiting several days for an appointment may not be practical.

Medical Dental Spa provides same-day emergency dentist appointments in West Hampstead, subject to availability.

We welcome existing and new patients who need urgent dental assessment.
Emergency appointments may be suitable if you have:

Sudden or severe tooth pain
Facial or gum swelling
A broken or cracked tooth
A dental abscess
A lost crown or filling
Dental trauma
Wisdom tooth pain
A knocked-out or loose tooth

Our clinic is open throughout the week, including weekends, making it easier to access urgent dental care when routine dental practices may be closed.

If possible, contact us as soon as the problem develops. Early assessment can sometimes prevent the condition from becoming more difficult to treat.

What Dental Emergencies Do We Treat?

Dental emergencies can range from severe pain to physical damage following an accident.
Our emergency dental team assesses the cause of the problem before recommending appropriate treatment.

Severe Toothache

Persistent or severe tooth pain can be caused by tooth decay, infection, a cracked tooth, gum problems or inflammation inside the tooth.

Painkillers may temporarily reduce discomfort, but they do not treat the underlying dental problem.

An emergency dental examination helps identify the cause and determine what treatment may be required.

Dental Abscess

A dental abscess is an infection that can develop around a tooth or within the surrounding gum.

Common symptoms may include:
Severe throbbing pain
Swelling
Tender gums
Sensitivity
An unpleasant taste
Difficulty chewing
Dental infections should not be ignored.

Prompt assessment can help determine the source of the infection and the appropriate treatment.

Facial or Gum Swelling

Swelling around the mouth, jaw or gums can sometimes indicate infection or inflammation.

Contact an emergency dentist if you develop new or worsening dental swelling, particularly when it is accompanied by tooth pain.

Certain forms of severe or spreading swelling require urgent medical treatment rather than routine dental care.

Broken or Cracked Tooth

Teeth may crack or break because of trauma, biting hard foods, large fillings or weakened tooth structure.

Treatment depends on how much of the tooth has been damaged.

Options may include a filling, crown, root canal treatment or another restorative procedure following assessment.

Lost Crown or Filling

Losing a crown or filling can expose sensitive parts of the tooth and may make eating uncomfortable.

Avoid trying to permanently repair the tooth yourself.

Bring the crown with you if it has come out completely, as your dentist can assess whether it can be reused or whether another restoration is required.

Knocked-Out Tooth

A knocked-out adult tooth requires urgent attention.

Handle the tooth carefully by the crown rather than the root. If it is dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing it.

Where possible, place the tooth back into its socket. If this cannot be done safely, keep it moist and contact a dentist immediately.

The sooner a knocked-out tooth is assessed, the better the chance may be of successfully managing the injury.

Wisdom Tooth Pain

Wisdom teeth can cause pain when they are partly erupted, impacted or surrounded by inflamed gum tissue.

Symptoms can include soreness, swelling, difficulty chewing or discomfort towards the back of the mouth.

An emergency examination can help determine whether the problem can be managed conservatively or requires further treatment.

Dental Trauma

Falls, sports injuries and accidents can damage teeth, gums and supporting structures.

Contact an emergency dentist if a tooth becomes chipped, fractured, loose or displaced following an injury.

Emergency Dentist Fees

We believe emergency dental costs should be explained clearly.

Emergency dental appointments at Medical Dental Spa currently start from £90.

This fee covers the emergency assessment. If additional treatment is needed, your dentist will explain the recommended options and associated costs before proceeding.

The final treatment cost depends on the problem identified and the treatment required.
For example, urgent dental care may involve:

Temporary treatment
A filling
Tooth extraction
Root canal treatment
Repairing a broken restoration
Replacing a filling or crown
Further diagnostic investigations

Where several treatment options are available, we will explain them clearly so you can make an informed decision.

When Should You Go to A&E Instead?

Most toothache, broken teeth, lost fillings and routine dental infections should be assessed by a dentist rather than a hospital emergency department.

However, some symptoms require urgent medical attention.

Call 999 or attend A&E if you experience:
Severe swelling affecting your breathing
Difficulty swallowing because of rapidly increasing swelling
erious facial or jaw trauma
Uncontrolled heavy bleeding
Loss of consciousness following facial trauma
A serious head injury alongside dental trauma
For severe dental swelling that is spreading towards the eye, neck or airway, seek urgent medical advice rather than waiting for a routine dental appointment.

If you are uncertain whether your symptoms are dental or medical, contact NHS 111 for further guidance.

What Happens at Your Emergency Appointment?

An emergency dental appointment focuses first on understanding what is causing your pain or problem.

We Listen to Your Symptoms

Your dentist will ask when the problem started, how severe it is and whether you have experienced swelling, trauma, sensitivity or other symptoms.

Your Dentist Examines the Area

The affected tooth, gums and surrounding tissues will be examined carefully.
Further diagnostic checks may be recommended where necessary.

We Identify the Likely Cause

Once the problem has been assessed, your dentist will explain what is causing the symptoms and what treatment options are available.

We Focus on Relieving Pain and Stabilising the Problem

Where appropriate, treatment may be provided during the emergency appointment to relieve discomfort or prevent the condition from becoming worse.

Further Treatment Is Explained

Some dental emergencies require additional treatment after the immediate problem has been stabilised.
