Emergency dental care

Serving patients throughout Southampton, West End, Portsmouth and Chichester

If you are looking for an emergency dentist in Southampton or West End, Dental Health Private Dental Clinic will look after you.

If you have toothache, a broken tooth that is causing you discomfort or have damaged your mouth in an accident, please give us a call on 02380 473 612. If you call early in the morning we will try and arrange an emergency dental appointment for you for the same day.

As we work on an appointment system, all emergencies have to be fitted in between or after the existing appointments. We will try our best to minimise waiting time for emergency patients, but we respectfully ask patients to be aware that in some cases there may be an unavoidable delay.

Outside of practice hours patients may ring the usual practice number 02380 473 612. The recorded message will then advise you how to contact the Dental Health Private Dental Clinic team.

Whilst waiting for your appointment you may want to try the following steps to help you manage any dental emergencies:

  • If you are in pain, use an over the counter pain reliever such as paracetamol (unless advised not to by your GP)
  • Rinse your mouth out with warm water
  • Apply pressure on any bleeding areas using gauze or a wet teabag
  • Apply an icepack to your cheek if there’s any swelling
  • If you have access to it, cover any major cracks with temporary dental cement
  • Cover any broken teeth with milk, saliva or saline solution

Whilst the above steps may help you manage any dental discomfort, its still important to see a dentists ASAP in order to address the underlying issue and prevent further deterioration.

3rd November 2024

I don't like dentists but the way I am treated there makes me feel less anxious. I was given options for my treatment and I was told that, if I wanted, I could go away and think about which option I wanted. I didn't bother as I took the advice of the dentist as to which treatment to have. I was also offered different appointment times for the treatment to suit me. All the staff there are lovely, friendly and very helpful.

All staff are very helpful

21st September 2024

Felt at ease

18th September 2024

The hygienist was great and was very careful with the teeth cleaning and answered all my questions. However, in addition to this the dental nurse has to be the most professional and careful nurse I have ever known in ensuring that water did not accumulate in my mouth and I was able to continue with the treatment for a long period of time without having to ask the hygienist to stop to clear my throat. I took the opportunity to thank the nurse for her outstanding work.

17th September 2024

Having experienced some terrible dentists over the years, this practice is friendly and welcoming and sets you at ease from the get go. Whether the appointment is with the dentist or the hygienist the service and care is exemplary and I would not entertain the idea of going elsewhere now.
