What to do in a dental emergency
- 1. Call us020 8455 9580 (or WhatsApp 07376 410010) — we'll triage over the phone and book you in.
- 2. Immediate pain controlIbuprofen + paracetamol together is more effective than either alone. A cold compress on the cheek helps with swelling.
- 3. Knocked-out toothHold by the crown (not root), rinse in milk, replace in socket if possible — or store in milk. Get to us within an hour.
- 4. Broken tooth or fillingSave any fragments. Avoid chewing on that side. We'll temporise on the day and plan the permanent fix after.

Frequently asked
Can I see an emergency dentist today in Golders Green?
Yes — we keep daily emergency slots free for patients in severe pain, with dental trauma or facial swelling. Call 020 8455 9580 or WhatsApp 07376 410010 first thing in the morning and we'll get you seen the same day wherever possible.
How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?
A private emergency appointment at Gentle Dental Care is £95 and includes a full examination, X-rays if needed, and immediate pain relief (e.g. opening a tooth to drain an abscess). Any further treatment is quoted before we proceed.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe toothache that stops you sleeping, facial swelling, knocked-out or broken teeth, lost crowns or fillings causing pain, abscesses, uncontrolled bleeding after extractions, and dental trauma after an accident. If you're unsure, call us — we'll triage over the phone.
My tooth has been knocked out — what should I do?
Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently in milk or saline (not water), and try to place it back in the socket. If that's not possible, store it in milk and get to us within 30–60 minutes — the sooner, the better the chance of saving it.
Do you see children for dental emergencies?
Yes — we see children of all ages for dental emergencies. Trauma to baby teeth and adult teeth needs urgent assessment to protect the developing teeth underneath. Call us immediately if your child has had a knock to the mouth.
What if you're closed?
Outside our hours, call NHS 111 for urgent dental care — they'll triage and direct you to the nearest emergency dental service. For life-threatening swelling or breathing difficulty, go straight to A&E.
