If you’ve got a swollen face, a broken tooth or a toothache that’s keeping you awake, the important thing is getting you seen quickly.
If you need an emergency dentist in Borehamwood, we’ll always do our best to make space for you. We’ll explain exactly what’s happening, get you out of pain where we can and help you understand the next steps.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Not every dental problem can wait for your next check-up. Get in touch if you’re experiencing:
If you’re not sure whether you need an emergency dental appointment, just give us a call. We’ll always advise you honestly.
A sore tooth doesn’t always need treatment on the same day. A swollen face usually does. The sooner we can see you, the sooner we can understand what’s causing the problem and stop it from becoming something more serious.
We’ll examine the area, take digital X-rays if we need them and explain exactly what we’ve found before talking through your options. Our emergency dental appointments are designed to do two things: get you comfortable and get you a clear plan.
Dental emergencies are stressful enough without feeling rushed through an appointment. We’ll take the time to listen, explain what we’ve found and answer any questions before treatment begins. If there are different ways of treating the problem, we’ll talk you through them honestly. If we think one option offers a better long-term outcome than another, we’ll explain why.
We regularly care for patients from Borehamwood, Elstree, Radlett, Shenley, Bushey, Barnet, St. Alban’s, Watford and the surrounding areas, helping people get out of pain and back to feeling like themselves again. Getting you out of pain matters. Helping you feel looked after matters just as much.
We’ll begin by finding the cause of the problem. Once we know what’s going on, we’ll explain the treatment we recommend and why.
That might mean repairing a broken tooth, replacing a lost filling or crown, treating an infection, relieving pain or arranging follow-up treatment such as root canal therapy or an extraction if needed.
Before you leave, you’ll know exactly what’s happened, what we’ve done and what comes next.

We always do our best to see emergency dental patients as quickly as possible. If you’re in pain, call the practice and we’ll advise you on the earliest appointment available.
Please give us a call. We’ll always do our best to help and will advise you on the availability of emergency appointments.
Not always, but it’s worth having it checked. A lost filling can leave the tooth vulnerable to further damage and may cause discomfort if left untreated.
Call us immediately. Hold the tooth by the crown rather than the root, gently rinse it if it’s dirty and keep it moist in milk while you travel to the practice. Acting quickly gives us the best chance of saving the tooth.
