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.

My experience at this friendly practice has been first class. Mr Havenga showed me pictures of the xrays he took of my teeth and clearly explained why it was not possible to save my loose tooth. The next day he professionally and gently extracted my tooth without causing me any distress. An excellent outcome.

23rd October 2025

As soon as l walk through the door l am made to feel welcome by the friendly reception team and the waiting area is very pleasant. Hygienist, dentist and nurses are all equally friendly. All are professional and l feel confident that l am receiving the best possible treatment. In particular, Sherry is an amazing dentist, very thorough and takes time to listen to any concerns and explains options for any issues found, l completely trust her and she has a lovely gentle manner. Can't rate the practice highly enough.
