Anxious patients are very welcome. We'll explain everything before doing anything.
The six things we see most often.
If you're unsure, call us anyway. We'd rather hear from you and reassure you it can wait than miss something that shouldn't.
-
Severe toothache or sensitivity
Persistent throbbing pain, pain that wakes you at night, or sharp sensitivity that doesn't settle. Often a sign of infection or a deeper cavity.
-
Knocked-out tooth
Pick the tooth up by the crown (not the root), rinse gently with milk or saliva, and try to slot it back in its socket. Get to us within an hour.
-
Broken or chipped tooth
If a fragment is sharp, cover with sugar-free chewing gum or dental wax. Save the fragment in a sealed container — sometimes we can bond it back.
-
Lost crown, filling or bridge
Not always painful, but the exposed tooth weakens quickly. We'll re-cement where we can, or rebuild if the underlying tooth has fractured.
-
Abscess, swelling or bleeding
Facial swelling, a 'bubble' on the gum, taste of pus, or bleeding that won't stop — call us first thing. Severe spreading swelling needs A&E.
-
Soft-tissue injury
A bitten lip, cheek or tongue that keeps bleeding — apply gentle pressure with clean gauze for 15 minutes. Persistent bleeding after that? Call us.
Four simple steps for the first hour.
A short guide for the first hour. Don't worry about getting these perfect — the most important step is the phone call. For a calmer, fuller walk-through, read our 5-minute dental emergency guide.

Right now
Call us on 020 3971 2000. Tell whoever answers what's happened — they'll triage and book you in the same day where possible.
- 02
Before you arrive
Take paracetamol or ibuprofen if you can (follow the packet dose). Avoid aspirin if anything is actively bleeding. Sip cold water for a swelling.
- 03
For a knocked-out tooth
Hold it by the crown, rinse briefly (milk if you have it), and try to push it back into the socket. If you can't, put it in a small container of milk — not water — and bring it with you.
- 04
If we're closed
For severe pain or trauma overnight, call NHS 111 — they'll direct you to an out-of-hours dental service. For uncontrolled bleeding, breathing difficulty, or rapidly spreading facial swelling, go to A&E.

Charged at our standard fees — and spreadable at 0% APR.
Anything beyond the emergency appointment itself (filling, root canal, extraction, antibiotics, etc.) is quoted in writing before we proceed. Where the tooth can be saved, our page on root canal treatment in Edgware sets out what that involves and what it costs. If you'd like to spread the cost, Chrysalis Finance offers 0% APR for up to 12 months.
What the £90 covers, and what can safely wait.
Two questions come up before almost every call to an emergency dentist in Edgware: what it costs, and whether the problem really counts. Here are both answers.
What the fee buys. The £90 buys the assessment and the immediate relief set out above; out of hours the appointment fee is £300. It does not include the definitive treatment. A filling, a root canal, an extraction or a course of antibiotics is charged at our standard fees, and every one of those figures is published on our fee guide.
Worth an emergency slot today. Pain that keeps you awake or shrugs off painkillers, facial swelling, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, bleeding that will not settle, or a lost crown on a tooth that has turned sensitive. These tend to get worse rather than better, and dealing with them early is usually simpler and cheaper.
Usually fine to wait for a routine appointment. A chipped edge that does not hurt, a filling that came out of a comfortable tooth, mild sensitivity to cold, or a crown that came off cleanly and is causing no pain. Booked as an ordinary appointment, those are charged at our £50 routine examination fee rather than the £90 emergency one. If you are unsure which list you are on, ring us and ask.
What happens when you get here. We assess first and treat second. Nothing is done to the tooth until you have heard what is wrong, what the options are and what each one costs. We hold emergency slots every working day, so ring as early in the day as you can.
