Emergency Dentist in Fulham
Urgent dental care when pain, swelling, or damage cannot wait, explained clearly and handled with care.
When Dental Pain Takes Over Your Day
Dental emergencies rarely arrive at a convenient time.
Pain starts during a busy workday.
Swelling appears overnight.
A tooth breaks just before an important event.
Many people try to push through, hoping it will ease. Often it does not.
When pain, infection, or damage is involved, early assessment matters. Prompt care can reduce discomfort and prevent the problem from getting worse.
At Pearlywhite Dental Practice, emergency appointments focus on relieving pain first, then explaining what needs to happen next.
What Counts as a Dental Emergency?
Severe toothache: Ongoing or worsening pain can signal infection or nerve involvement.
Swelling of the face or gums: Swelling may indicate an abscess or spreading infection that needs urgent attention.
Broken, cracked, or knocked out teeth: Accidents can damage teeth suddenly. Early assessment can improve outcomes.
Lost fillings, crowns, or bridges: These can expose teeth and lead to pain if left untreated.
Bleeding or trauma to the mouth: Injuries to teeth or gums should be checked promptly.
If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, it is always better to ask.
What Happens at an Emergency Dental Appointment?
Immediate assessment: We examine the area causing pain and identify the cause of the problem.
Relief of pain and infection: Our first priority is to stabilise the situation and reduce discomfort.
Clear explanation of next steps: Once pain is under control, we explain what treatment may be needed and when.
Emergency care is about helping you feel better first, not rushing into long term decisions.

Depending on the situation, emergency treatment may include

If You Are in Pain Right Now
