Urgent Dental Treatment

Toothache is a common experience that almost everyone goes through at some stage in life. Whether the discomfort is mild or severe, it is widely known that teeth can cause significant pain and discomfort, often without warning. It is essential to take care of our dental health to avoid such discomfort.

In case of an urgent dental problem, feel free to reach out to our practice without any delay. We keep a few appointments available every day to ensure that you can receive treatment on the same day if you experience pain or discomfort. Rest assured that we’ll be there to help you out in such situations.

What to do in your dental emergencies?

Toothache: Floss your teeth and rinse your mouth with warm water to remove debris. Apply a cold compress to your cheek to help swelling. Don’t use painkiller gels near the sore tooth as they can burn the gums and cause further pain. See your dentist as soon as possible.
Chipped / Broken Teeth: Save any remaining pieces of teeth and rinse thoroughly. Rinse your mouth with warm water and, if necessary, apply gauze to the injured site to stop bleeding. A cold compress applied to your cheek can help swelling and soothe pain. Book an emergency dentist appointment.
Knocked-out teeth: Hold onto the crown (the bottom part of the tooth) and remove very carefully the dirt, if any, from the tooth root. Don’t scrub away any remaining tissue fragments. If possible, very gently place the tooth back in the socket and contact your dentist.Or if that is too difficult, keep it bathed inside your cheek, so your saliva bathes it. In children, keep it in some milk.
Partially dislodged (extruded) tooth: Apply a cold compress to your cheek to ease pain. Take over-the-counter pain medication if necessary. See your dentist as soon as possible.
Lost filling: As a temporary solution, use dental temporary filling material from a chemist or sugar-free chewing gum to bridge the cavity. Your dentist will replace your filling at your emergency appointment.
Lost crown: Book an emergency dentist appointment and bring the crown with you. If possible beforehand, you can apply dental cement/denture adhesive or toothpaste to the inner surface of the crown and try to place it back over the tooth.
Trapped object between teeth: Attempt to gently remove the object with dental floss. If the object can’t be taken out, contact your dentist right away.
Broken braces or wires: Rinse your mouth with salt water to keep your mouth clean and ease pain. You may be able to push the wire back into place using a soft pencil eraser. Call your dentist if the wire won’t move back into place or is broken.
Loose brackets and bands: Loose braces can be temporarily reattached with orthodontic wax before your dentist fixes them. If a band becomes loose, save it and call your dentist to have it reattached.
Abscesses: Abscesses are serious infections that form under teeth and spread if left untreated. Book an emergency appointment with your dentist right away if you notice any painful swelling in your mouth. In the meantime, rinse your mouth with salt water to relieve pain and draw pus to the surface.
Soft tissue injuries: Injuries to the cheeks, gums, tongue and lips often bleed and require immediate dental treatment. In the meantime, ease pain by rinsing your mouth with salt water. To control the bleeding, apply pressure to the site with gauze for 15-20 minutes. You can also hold a hot compress to your cheek for 5-10 minutes.

Wendy D.

Dr Xavier is the best orthodontist I have ever come across in London. From children to adults, he has incredible success. Myself and my wife had treatment with him and our smiles are banging! He used invisalign on us. It was so easy!

Had a tooth out which is never fun, but he was great, never even needed pain killers afterwards

Vince A.

Everyone at Dulwich Dental office is lovely, from the friendly and welcoming reception staff, right to dentist and hygienist. They do a great job, and have always made me feel comfortable, while helping me keep my teeth in good shape. I recently tried the Airflow treatment during hygienist visit and wow, totally worth it! Thanks, dental team!

Great service! Im usually so nervous when coming in to the dentist but my dentist was so pleasant and polite ! Dulwich Dental Office will definitely be my dentist for life

Tomike O.

I lost my two front teeth whilst at school and had complications for years. Unfortunately I ended up needing an implant – which I had been avoiding! I wish I had done it sooner. Dr Patel was fantastic and guided me through each stage. He was always contactable to answer any queries or concerns. Very happy with the end result and would reccomend.

Tom O.

Fantastic specialist treatment – I was heading towards eventual tooth loss, Aaron the hygienist helped me with a treatment plan and my teeth bones have regrown by 2mm and I no longer have bleeding, a remarkable turnaround in 6 months! Thank you so much. Lovely reception staff too. Thanks!

Registered and seen on the NHS within 2 weeks – amazing. Really friendly staff, would definitely recommend

Tom C.

Just seen Dr.Ho for some severe molar sensitivity i was having . I wasn’t managing to drink or eat anything very hot or cold. He did a thorough assessment like always and undertook a T scan and adjustments to bite and within half an hour my sensitivity was essentially gone!! Great service like always

Lovely staff on front desk, always welcoming and friendly, dentists are also amazing and professional- 10/10 experience every time!

A great surgery; Dr Cavan in particular spent time with me to make sure my new night guards fitted well and were up to the job
