Common questions

Frequently asked

Can I see an emergency dentist today in Golders Green?

We reserve capacity for urgent dental problems and offer same-day appointments wherever possible during practice hours. Call 020 8455 9580 as early as you can so the team can assess the urgency and arrange the most appropriate appointment.

How much does an emergency dental appointment cost?

Our fee guide lists an emergency assessment from £59, excluding X-rays. Our £95 urgent-care package includes the examination, any necessary X-rays and immediate pain-relief treatment where clinically appropriate. We explain any additional treatment and costs before proceeding.

What problems need urgent dental attention?

Severe or persistent toothache, facial swelling, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, dental trauma and painful lost fillings or crowns should be assessed promptly. Call us if you are unsure so the team can guide you.

What should I do with a knocked-out adult tooth?

Hold it by the crown rather than the root. If it is visibly dirty, rinse it gently without scrubbing. Try to place it back in position if you can do so safely, or keep it in milk, and seek urgent dental care immediately. Do not reinsert a baby tooth.

Do you see children and new patients for emergencies?

Yes. We welcome both registered and new patients, including children, for urgent dental assessment. Please call first so we can triage the problem and prepare for your visit.

What should I do when the practice is closed?

Outside our opening hours, contact NHS 111 for urgent dental guidance. Severe swelling affecting breathing, swallowing or the eyes requires immediate emergency medical attention through 999 or A&E.

Do you need urgent dental care?

Call Gentle Dental Care on 020 8455 9580 for triage and the earliest suitable appointment. You can also send a WhatsApp message, but telephone is best for severe pain, swelling or trauma.
