When a dental emergency strikes, you need immediate access to specialist-level care, not a general dentist. London Dental Specialists provides same-day emergency treatment led by Dr. Ope Sodeinde, a GDC registered specialist with over 20 years of experience treating complex dental trauma, severe infections, and urgent tooth loss. Our central London location at Regent's Park Road ensures you can reach us quickly from anywhere in greater London. Unlike standard dental practices, we have specialists in periodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics on site, meaning we can handle everything from root canal emergencies to knocked-out teeth requiring immediate implant consultation.
You get advanced diagnostic tools including 3D CBCT imaging for accurate emergency assessment, plus our team can perform complex procedures like emergency extractions, root canal treatment, and temporary restorations in a single visit. We're registered with the Care Quality Commission and follow strict BDA and GDC guidelines for emergency care. Most importantly, we can transition seamlessly from emergency treatment to long-term solutions like dental implants, backed by our 10-year warranty. When dental emergencies happen outside normal hours, our specialist training means we can provide the definitive treatment you need, not just temporary pain relief.
A dental emergency is any urgent oral health situation requiring immediate professional attention to save a tooth, stop severe pain, or control bleeding. These critical situations include knocked-out teeth, severe toothache, broken teeth with sharp edges, uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth, or facial swelling that affects breathing or swallowing. Dental emergencies can happen at any time. They demand prompt care to prevent permanent damage.
Common dental emergencies range from sudden, intense tooth pain that disrupts daily activities to trauma that chips, cracks, or completely removes teeth from their sockets. Abscesses, which are serious infections around tooth roots, can cause dangerous swelling and require urgent treatment. Lost fillings or crowns may expose sensitive tooth structures, creating pain and vulnerability to further damage. Some emergencies, like severe jaw injuries or infections spreading to the face and neck, can become life-threatening without immediate intervention.
You should seek emergency dental care immediately if you experience unbearable tooth pain, have a tooth knocked out, notice significant facial swelling, or suffer any mouth injury causing persistent bleeding. Time matters critically in dental emergencies. Quick action often determines whether a damaged tooth can be saved or requires extraction.

Our specialists in periodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics work together to address emergency situations with advanced techniques and immediate pain relief.

Dental emergencies don't wait for convenient times. If you're experiencing severe pain, trauma, or swelling outside our normal hours, contact our emergency line immediately. We provide urgent care guidance and can arrange emergency appointments when necessary. For severe trauma involving facial swelling, difficulty swallowing, or uncontrolled bleeding, visit your nearest A&E department. Keep our emergency contact details handy. Pain can often be managed temporarily with over-the-counter medications, but never ignore persistent symptoms. Cold compresses help reduce swelling. Avoid very hot or cold foods that might worsen sensitivity.
We understand that dental pain waits for no one. Emergency appointments are typically available within 24 hours, often the same day for urgent cases. Our Central London location serves the greater London area, making us accessible when you need immediate care. Severe cases involving trauma, uncontrolled bleeding, or signs of serious infection receive priority scheduling. We'll assess your situation over the phone first. This helps us determine the urgency level. It also allows us to prepare for your specific needs. Don't suffer in silence. Call us immediately when dental emergencies arise.
True emergencies require immediate attention and include severe, unrelenting pain that prevents sleep or normal function. Facial swelling, especially around the eyes or throat, needs urgent care. Knocked-out teeth, significant trauma to the mouth, or uncontrolled bleeding are genuine emergencies. Broken teeth with sharp edges cutting your tongue or cheeks also need prompt treatment. However, minor sensitivity, small chips without pain, or lost fillings can often wait for a regular appointment. When in doubt, call us. We'd rather assess your situation and provide peace of mind than have you suffer unnecessarily. Your comfort and safety are our priorities.
Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for emergency treatments, though the extent varies by policy. Emergency pain relief, urgent extractions, and trauma-related treatments are typically covered under basic care provisions. However, coverage levels differ significantly between insurers and specific plans. We accept many major dental insurance providers throughout the greater London area. Our team can verify your coverage before treatment begins. We'll also help with pre-authorisation when required. For uninsured emergencies, we offer flexible payment options. Don't let insurance concerns delay urgent care. We'll work with you to find suitable payment arrangements.
Time is absolutely critical for knocked-out teeth. The sooner you receive treatment, the better the chances of successful reimplantation. Ideally, we need to see you within 30 minutes of the injury. Handle the tooth carefully by the crown only, never the root. Rinse gently with milk or saline if dirty, but don't scrub or remove attached tissue. Try to place the tooth back in its socket if possible. If that's not feasible, store it in milk or your saliva. Never use water or let the tooth dry out. Our specialists have extensive experience with dental trauma. We'll assess the tooth's viability and surrounding structures. Even if reimplantation isn't possible, we offer excellent replacement options including dental implants.
Over-the-counter medications can provide temporary relief whilst you await treatment. Ibuprofen is particularly effective for dental pain because it reduces inflammation as well as pain. Take 400-600mg every 6-8 hours, following package instructions carefully. Paracetamol can be taken alongside ibuprofen for additional pain control. Cold compresses applied externally for 15-20 minutes help reduce swelling. Avoid aspirin if there's any bleeding, as it can worsen the situation. Never place aspirin directly on the tooth or gums. Clove oil applied sparingly to the affected area provides natural pain relief. Avoid very hot or cold foods and beverages. These temporary measures shouldn't replace professional treatment.
Emergency treatment costs vary depending on the specific procedure required and complexity of your situation. Simple pain relief and basic treatments start from modest fees, whilst complex trauma cases require more extensive intervention. We provide transparent pricing before beginning any treatment. Our Central London practice serves patients throughout the greater London area with competitive emergency rates. We offer various payment options including interest-free finance plans for more extensive treatments. Insurance coverage often applies to emergency procedures, and we'll verify your benefits beforehand. Don't let cost concerns prevent you from seeking urgent care. We'll discuss all options and work within your budget. Your immediate comfort and oral health take priority over payment arrangements.
Dental emergencies require immediate attention. Severe tooth pain that disrupts sleep or daily activities signals urgent care. Trauma from accidents causing knocked-out or fractured teeth demands prompt treatment within hours for the best chance of saving the tooth. Significant swelling of the face, gums, or jaw may indicate serious infection requiring immediate intervention.
Uncontrolled bleeding following dental procedures or injury needs emergency assessment. Lost fillings or crowns causing sharp pain or sensitivity often require same-day treatment. If you experience difficulty swallowing or breathing alongside dental symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.
