Urgent care
Emergency dental care
Same-day appointments for sudden pain, swelling, broken or knocked-out teeth — plus on-call support for registered patients.
Emergency care at a glance
At This Is It Dental, we triage every emergency call — so you know whether to come in today, what to do at home, and what to expect when you arrive.
Same-day slots and on-call support for registered patients when you need us. Included in emergency care lists what we provide; the quick overview below summarises the essentials.
Pain relief is the priority at your emergency visit — definitive treatment is then planned properly once you are comfortable, with fees explained before we proceed.
Quick overview
What counts?
Sudden pain, swelling, bleeding, trauma or any problem that cannot wait — including severe toothache, broken teeth, lost fillings and knocked-out teeth.

New and registered patients. We hold same-day slots on weekdays and Saturday mornings; registered patients can call our on-call dentist after hours.

Your emergency journey
Most emergency visits focus on relieving pain and stabilising the problem the same day — with a clear follow-up plan for definitive care once you are comfortable.
- 1 When symptoms start
Call the practice
We triage your symptoms, give first-aid advice where helpful, and book the next available emergency slot — so you know whether to come in today.
- 2 Same day
Emergency appointment
We diagnose the problem with x-rays where needed, explain your options, and agree fees before treatment — most patients are in the chair under an hour.
- 3 During the visit
Treatment to settle pain
Temporary filling, re-cement of a crown, extraction, root canal start, or antibiotics as appropriate — whatever is needed to make you comfortable today.

Follow-up plan
Definitive care — such as a crown, root canal completion or implant discussion — is booked properly once swelling and pain have settled.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as an emergency?
Severe pain, swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a knocked-out adult tooth — call immediately. A chipped tooth without pain can often wait until the next working day.
Knocked-out tooth — what do I do?
Handle by the crown, rinse in milk or saline, store in milk if you can't replant, and call straight away.
Do you see non-registered patients?
Yes during opening hours. The 24/7 line is for registered patients.
Should I take painkillers first?
Ibuprofen and paracetamol together often help (if safe for you). Never place tablets directly on the gum.
