Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
This dental emergency aftercare guide sets out the steps to manage pain and protect your teeth after an urgent visit, and what to do before you reach us.
Recovery times vary with the procedure. At your consultation we tell you how long your aftercare will take.
Led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
You might be dealing with toothache and severe tooth pain, a dental abscess and facial swelling, or the shock of a knocked-out tooth. These usually mean a cracked tooth or an infection where bacteria have reached the nerve, and an untreated dental infection can spread to the adjacent teeth and, in severe cases, may need hospital treatment. Our emergency dentists in London assess the problem and tell you the next step.
We diagnose before we treat, so you only pay for the treatment you need, and every fee is itemised before any price is agreed.
Dr Sodeinde leads the clinical planning, which avoids the risks of a generic emergency fix. We give specific aftercare guidance for a lost filling or crown and for a dental abscess and facial swelling.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
We see patients with a wide range of urgent problems, from acute toothache to a serious infection. Feeling anxious when a dental crisis occurs is normal, and we focus on the problem rather than how it arose. Whether you have bleeding after extraction or a knocked-out tooth, our priority is to stabilise your condition and reduce the pain quickly.
We begin with a dental examination to find the cause of your pain or damage, which determines the treatment and the aftercare you will need.
Our priority is to stop your discomfort. If you have a broken or chipped tooth, we stabilise the area first. We use local anaesthetic or intravenous sedation for procedures such as tooth extraction.
We repair fractures with a crown or composite bonding. Some treatments are completed immediately; others are more complex. If your emergency happens outside normal hours, our out-of-hours and weekend emergency dentist page explains how to reach us.
Some emergency visits resolve the problem entirely. In other cases you return to complete the treatment. Between visits, follow the written aftercare instructions we give you: protect the treated area, avoid chewing on it, keep the mouth clean, and take pain relief as advised. Contact us if pain or swelling gets worse rather than better.
We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem, whether that is toothache and severe tooth pain, a dental abscess and facial swelling, or a knocked-out tooth, and we carry out the restorative treatment that follows.
The clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist.

Pain and swelling make it hard to decide the next step. An examination finds the cause and the treatment you need. Learn what happens at your same-day emergency appointment and how to book. We resolve the immediate crisis before planning any long-term restoration.
