Please note that our NHS emergency appointments are for urgent dental problems only and do not provide routine NHS registration at the practice.
What dental problems count as an emergency?
You should seek urgent dental advice if you experience a problem such as:
- Severe or persistent toothache
- A broken or cracked tooth
- A lost or broken filling causing pain
- A dental infection or abscess
- Swelling around a tooth or gum
- A knocked-out or damaged tooth
- Bleeding following a dental procedure or injury
- Severe pain that does not improve with pain relief
The NHS advises patients to seek urgent dental care for problems such as severe dental pain, dental injuries, swelling and broken or loose fillings, crowns, bridges or dentures.
Not every dental problem needs emergency treatment. However, if you have significant pain or your symptoms are getting worse, seek professional advice rather than waiting for the problem to settle.

What happens at an NHS emergency dental appointment?
When you attend an emergency appointment, the dentist will assess your symptoms and examine the affected area.
They may need to take an X-ray to understand the cause of your pain or other symptoms.
The dentist will then explain the appropriate treatment options based on their findings.
Emergency treatment aims to deal with the immediate problem, such as relieving pain, managing an infection or stabilising a damaged tooth.
Depending on your circumstances, you may need further treatment after your emergency appointment. The dentist will explain what you need and advise you on the next steps.
How much does an NHS emergency dental appointment cost?
NHS dental charges apply to eligible NHS treatment. The amount you pay depends on the treatment you receive and whether you qualify for free NHS dental care.
If you receive an NHS emergency assessment and treatment, your dental team can explain the applicable NHS charge.
Some patients qualify for free NHS dental treatment. If you believe you qualify for an exemption, make sure you bring the relevant evidence with you when attending your appointment.
NHS emergency dentist or A&E?
Most dental problems need assessment by a dentist rather than a hospital A&E department.
NHS 111 can advise you on where to go if you are unsure about the severity of your symptoms.
However, some symptoms require immediate medical attention. Go to A&E or call 999 if you have severe swelling affecting your ability to breathe or swallow, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury to your face or jaw.
If you have a dental problem but are unsure what to do, NHS 111 can help you find the appropriate service.
