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.

Following my previous very poor experience with another dentist at this clinic (who is fortunately no longer employed there), I am pleased to say that Johann Havenga fully restored my confidence in the clinic, which had been badly shaken.

13th January 2026

The hygenist and dental nurse, was friendly, put me at ease, explained everything they were doing . Very professional

12th January 2026

New hygienist was very skilful. She was using new equipment and methods and explained them in detail before commencing the treatment. She kept checking on my comfort during the procedure. Afterwards, she offered further advice about brushing, etc. There were two other personnel attending: an assistant and (presumably) a trainee. It felt like a spa treatment!

This was my first appointment with the new Dental Hygienist, following the retirement of the previous Hygienist who had treated me for over 25 years. I was very happy with the treatment I received, and found the new Hygienist to be skilful, knowledgeable and friendly.
