Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Toothache and severe tooth pain need an immediate clinical assessment to identify the cause and stop the pain. Most severe toothache comes from decay or a crack that has let bacteria reach the nerve, or from an infection around the root.
We provide same-day appointments. A consultation with Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071), identifies the cause of your pain and the fastest route to relief.
Severe tooth pain often arrives without warning, and it is normal to be unsure whether to go to A&E or to see emergency dentists in London. A cracked tooth, deep decay, or an infection at the root can all cause the same throbbing pain. Left untreated, a dental infection can spread to the adjacent teeth and, in severe cases, may need hospital treatment.
The examination and x-rays tell us whether bacteria have reached the nerve inside the tooth or whether you have a dental abscess and facial swelling. That diagnosis decides the treatment.
We diagnose first and treat second, so you get the correct intervention rather than a guess. Every item of emergency work is itemised so you know the cost before we begin.
Our team manages the full range of acute problems, from severe pulpitis to a knocked-out tooth and bleeding after extraction. Dr Sodeinde oversees the clinical standards of our emergency care.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Severe toothache often brings a fear of being judged, especially if you have avoided the dentist for some time. We focus on the clinical problem, not the history of the tooth. Whether the pain comes from a serious infection, sudden trauma, or a broken or chipped tooth, we assess it and treat the cause.
If you need an out-of-hours and weekend emergency dentist, we can stabilise your condition. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer sedation options.
We begin with a clinical examination and in-mouth x-rays to find the cause of the pain and the most appropriate treatment. You can find details of emergency dentist costs in London to help you plan your visit.
Our first priority is to remove the source of the ache. If the cause is a lost filling or crown, we can usually place a temporary restoration to protect the tooth. Where a tooth cannot be saved, we carry out a tooth extraction under local anaesthetic or intravenous sedation.
Not every aching tooth needs to be removed. Where the nerve is infected but the tooth is sound, we recommend root canal treatment to save the tooth. This removes the infected pulp, which stops the pain and keeps your natural bite.
Once the infection is gone, we restore the tooth's strength. In some cases we can fit a natural-looking crown in a single appointment to seal the tooth.
Some complex cases need more than one visit. You may need to return to complete the treatment so the result is stable.
We prioritise pain relief and resolving the underlying problem. We treat acute issues including toothache and severe tooth pain, dental abscesses with facial swelling, and knocked-out teeth, and we carry out the restorative treatment that follows.
You can view the credentials of Dr Ope Sodeinde, our specialist periodontist, who leads the practice. Our specialist in endodontics (root canal treatment) is Dr Neha Patel (GDC No. 150517).
Go to A&E if you have severe swelling that affects your breathing or swallowing. For acute tooth pain, an emergency dentist is the correct choice. We assess what is causing the pain to decide whether you need a filling, root canal treatment, or a tooth extraction when the tooth cannot be saved.
We provide emergency appointments for patients arriving in London or passing through Heathrow. We prioritise urgent cases so the tooth is stabilised and any infection managed quickly.
The cure depends on the diagnosis. We treat the underlying cause, whether that is a cracked tooth, decay, or an infection. After treatment, our dental emergency aftercare guide explains how to manage your recovery.
Costs depend on the treatment you need. The consultation lets us assess the tooth and give you a precise fee, which we confirm before any work begins. We see both private patients and patients who currently use the NHS.
We provide same-day emergency appointments to identify the source of your discomfort. If you are unsure whether to visit a dentist or a hospital, a dental practice is the correct first point of contact for toothache.
