Emergency Dentist
If you need an emergency dentist, call your own dental practice first: most keep urgent slots each day. If you are not registered with a dentist, or it is evening, the weekend or a bank holiday, call NHS 111 (or use 111 online), which can book you into an urgent dental care service.

When to go to A&E instead
Go to A&E or call 999 if you have swelling that affects your breathing, swallowing or vision, heavy bleeding that will not stop, or a serious injury to your face, mouth or jaw. A&E departments do not usually have dentists, but they can manage these emergencies.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe toothache that painkillers do not control, a knocked-out adult tooth (put it back in its socket or keep it in milk and see a dentist within an hour), a broken tooth with pain, a dental abscess or facial swelling, and bleeding after an extraction that will not stop.
How much does an emergency dentist cost?
Urgent NHS treatment costs £27.90 in England (from 1 April 2026), covering what is needed to stabilise the problem. Private emergency appointments are charged by the practice and usually exclude any treatment that follows.
