We know how debilitating a toothache can be. It affects your ability to eat, sleep, and even focus on your daily tasks. You’re not alone, and we’re here to provide effective, professional solutions.
“Why Home Remedies Often Fall Short”
We understand the allure of quick at-home remedies like clove oil, cold compresses, or over-the-counter pain relief. While these may provide temporary relief, they are not long-term solutions. Here’s why:
Clove Oil: May numb the area but doesn’t treat the underlying issue.
Cold Compress: Reduces swelling temporarily, but the pain usually returns.
Painkillers: Only masks the pain; potential for incorrect dosage.
“The Importance of Professional Guidance”
The only way to accurately diagnose and treat toothache is through professional consultation. In many cases, underlying issues like cavities or infections can worsen if not treated promptly. Our consultation, which includes diagnosis and X-ray, is typically only £52. It’s a small price for accurate advice and lasting relief.
Don’t compromise on your dental health by opting for temporary fixes. Schedule an appointment for professional treatment that offers lasting relief.
Who We Are: We are a dedicated team of dental experts who prioritize your comfort and dental health.
Why Choose Us: With us, you get a no-obligation consultation and X-ray, ensuring you understand your treatment options.
Pricing: For only £45, get a comprehensive diagnosis that includes an X-ray and a no-obligation discussion of your treatment options.

I was in a lot of pain, the only dentist I had tried all day who would see me. I got quite emotional as I was in a lot of discomfort on the phone, but once there, I was dealt with promptly, friendly, and very understanding. The dentist was great too—explained everything, very friendly, and it was over very quickly. Aftercare was explained well too. I would highly recommend this dentist; every member of staff I spoke to was lovely.

I called these guys last night in severe pain at 8 pm, just to enquire about prices. I was booked in for 9 pm and back home by 10 pm (even with a 20-minute drive!). I am not a big fan of the dentist, but the gentleman that dealt with me was polite, professional, and friendly. He explained everything from start to finish and answered any questions that I had. I would definitely use this company again in an emergency! Thank you.

So I have the worst fear of dentists; I'd rather sit in pain than go and see one. Unfortunately, one of my molars cracked into a few pieces, and I was forced to go and see one. I googled walk-in emergency dentist and called 'The Dentist'. I advised them on the phone that I was a nervous patient, and they said that they would look after me. I'd been to an NHS walk-in dentist years ago, and they didn't give a damn; it was a horrible experience, and I was expecting the same here, but I was pleasantly surprised by the way the staff treated me.

What describes your dental emergency?
Are you experiencing significant swelling or fever?
A persistent toothache can be a sign of an underlying issue like infection or decay. Even without visible swelling, it’s important to get prompt care to relieve pain and prevent complications. Our emergency dentists can diagnose and treat the cause of your toothache quickly.
Call for Immediate ReliefToothache Treatment Options
If the pain is tolerable but persistent, don’t ignore it. Book an appointment to get it checked before it worsens.
Is a tooth completely knocked out?
Knocked-Out Tooth
If an adult tooth has been knocked out, time is critical. Handle the tooth by the crown (the top part), not the root. Gently rinse it with milk or saliva and try to reinsert it into the socket. If this isn’t possible, keep it in milk and seek emergency dental care immediately.

Getting to a dentist within 30 minutes offers the best chance of saving the tooth, so don’t delay.
Chipped or Broken Tooth
For a chipped or broken tooth, rinse your mouth with warm water and apply a cold compress if there’s pain or swelling. If it’s a minor chip with no pain, you may schedule a visit soon. However, if a large piece broke off or you’re in pain, you need an urgent dental appointment.

Avoid using the damaged tooth to chew. Timely treatment can prevent further damage or infection.
Did you lose a filling, crown, or denture?
Lost Filling or Crown with Pain
A lost filling or crown can expose sensitive tooth layers, causing pain. Rinse your mouth to keep the area clean. This needs prompt treatment to prevent infection. We can provide a temporary or permanent fix to relieve your discomfort.
Call for Emergency RepairEmergency Dental Care Info
In the meantime, you can use dental wax or even sugar-free gum to cover the exposed area for some relief, but see us as soon as possible.
Lost Filling or Crown with No Pain
Even if it’s not painful now, a lost filling or crown leaves your tooth vulnerable. Clean the area gently and avoid chewing on that side. Contact us to have it repaired before it becomes an emergency.

Don’t delay the fix—without protection, the tooth can decay or crack further, leading to more complex treatment.
Are you experiencing severe wisdom tooth pain?
Severe Wisdom Tooth Pain
Severe wisdom tooth pain often indicates infection or impaction. If the pain is unbearable or you have swelling affecting swallowing or breathing, seek immediate care. We may need to clean the area, prescribe antibiotics, or perform an emergency extraction.

Moderate Wisdom Tooth Discomfort
