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.

I am a nervous patient and the staff at this clinic have been incredibly kind and patient. Paula and Sherry particularly so- but also the lady hygienist I have seen there has been wonderful too - I wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

A great dental experience had here. The hygienist and dentist were most helpful in ensuring my teeth are in perfect condition going forward.

Everyone is super friendly. I wasn’t left to wait long and was actually seen before my appointment was due to start. It’s very easy to find and plenty of parking. My dentist is very welcoming and knowledgeable. There isn’t anything I would have changed about my appointment and will definitely be back.

A very lovely dentist indeed. It’s a nice clean, tidy and welcoming setting. The receptionist’s are always super friendly. I have always been seen promptly and never left waiting around. Johann is also very professional and knowledgeable. He has a welcoming and calm presence and is always very thorough and leaves me satisfied that he has done a good job. Would definitely recommend!

Firstly can I say the Dentist is not my favourite location. Having said that I don't think I could find anyware better than the "Dental Health Private Dental Clinic " in West End, Southampton. The staff are first class, very efficient and cheerfull and I feel at ease when I'm there.
