Emergency Dentist in Edgware
In pain? Same-day emergency appointments for £65, and we’re open Saturdays and Sundays too. New patients are welcome and you don’t need to register. Call and we’ll get you seen.
Toothache, a broken tooth, a lost crown, a swelling that’s getting worse. We keep same-day emergency slots in Edgware, including at weekends when most practices are shut, and we see people who’ve never been to us before. An emergency appointment is £65. We’ll get the pain under control, work out what’s wrong and give you a written plan for any follow-up treatment. Nothing else is done until you’ve agreed the cost.
We’re at 1 Handel Parade, Whitchurch Lane, Edgware, London HA8 6LD, two minutes’ walk from Edgware station, and an easy drive from Burnt Oak, Stanmore, Mill Hill, Colindale, Queensbury, Kingsbury, Hendon and Harrow.
Common dental emergencies
Severe Toothache
Throbbing pain that won’t go away usually means infection, or decay that has reached the nerve. It rarely settles by itself. We’ll find the cause and calm it down.
Chipped or Broken Teeth
Whether it’s a small chip or a proper fracture, seeing us quickly protects the nerve and often saves the tooth. Plenty of repairs can be done the same day in composite.
Lost Crowns, Fillings & Knocked-Out Teeth
Losing a filling or crown leaves the tooth underneath exposed and sensitive. Knocked out an adult tooth? Put it in milk and call us straight away. Minutes matter.
Swelling & Dental Abscess
Facial swelling can turn serious quickly. We’ll drain the infection if that’s clinically appropriate, prescribe if it’s needed and deal with the cause. Don’t sit on an abscess.

For context, private emergency dental appointments in the UK commonly run from around £50 to well over £150 depending on the practice and the city, before any treatment is added. NHS urgent dental care is charged at the Band 1 urgent rate where an NHS appointment is available. The hard part is usually finding one at short notice. Our £65 fee covers the appointment itself: examination, diagnosis and immediate pain relief.
NHS, A&E or a private emergency dentist?
- ✓ A&E: for bleeding you can’t stop, swelling that’s affecting your breathing or swallowing, or an injury to the face. Go straight there.
- ✓ NHS 111: if you can’t reach a dentist, 111 can point you to an urgent NHS dental service. What’s available in the evenings and at weekends varies a lot across North London.
- ✓ A private emergency dentist: for toothache, a broken or knocked-out tooth, a lost crown or filling, or an abscess. It’s almost always quicker, and it’s what we’re set up for.
Not sure how urgent it is? Ring us and tell us what’s going on. We’d much rather talk it through than have you sitting at home in pain, guessing.
What to do before you get here
- ✓ Toothache: take your usual over-the-counter painkiller as it says on the packet. Don’t put aspirin directly on the gum.
- ✓ Knocked-out adult tooth: hold it by the crown, not the root. If it’s dirty, rinse it gently in milk. Push it back into the socket if you can, otherwise keep it in milk, and call us straight away.
- ✓ Broken tooth: rinse with warm salty water and keep any pieces. Chew on the other side.
- ✓ Swelling: a cold compress on the outside of the cheek can help. If it’s spreading towards the eye or throat, go to A&E.
- ✓ Lost crown or filling: keep the crown and bring it with you. Avoid very hot or cold food and drink in the meantime.
This is general guidance only and isn’t a substitute for being seen. Individual circumstances vary.

Emergency FAQs
Can I get a same-day emergency dentist appointment in Edgware?
Yes. We hold emergency slots every day we’re open, Saturdays and Sundays included. Call 020 3148 2444 as early in the day as you can and we’ll fit you in as soon as possible.
Where can I see an emergency dentist today?
If you’re in or near Edgware, call us on 020 3148 2444. We keep same-day slots and see patients who aren’t registered with us. If we can’t get you in, NHS 111 can point you to an urgent NHS dental service. A&E is the place for bleeding you can’t stop, an injury to the face, or swelling that’s affecting your breathing.
How quickly can I actually be seen in Edgware?
Most people who ring during opening hours are offered a slot the same day. Exactly when depends on how busy the day is, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of being seen within a few hours. If the same-day slots have all gone, we’ll still assess you over the phone and see you as soon as one frees up.
How much does an emergency dentist cost?
The emergency appointment at Toothi is £65, which covers the examination and immediate pain relief. X-rays, if you need them, are £15 each, and any follow-up treatment is quoted in writing before we go ahead. Across the UK, private emergency appointments commonly range from around £50 to over £150 before treatment.
Is there a dental clinic in Edgware that takes emergencies?
Yes. Toothi is at 1 Handel Parade, Whitchurch Lane, Edgware HA8 6LD, two minutes from Edgware station, and we hold same-day emergency appointments, weekends included. You don’t need to be an existing patient.
Are you open at weekends?
Yes, we’re open seven days a week:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday: 9am–6pm
Thursday: 9am–12pm
Saturday: 9am–5pm
Sunday: 10am–5pm
Please see our contact page for current opening hours.
I’ve knocked out a tooth — what do I do?
Be quick. Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root), rinse it gently if it’s dirty, and either push it back into the socket or keep it in milk. Then call us. Teeth put back within an hour generally have the best chance of surviving, although outcomes vary.
Can you help if I’m not a registered patient?
Yes. We see emergency patients who’ve never been to us before, and quite a few of them stay on as regular patients afterwards.
Can I go to A&E with a tooth problem?
Go to A&E for bleeding you can’t stop, swelling that’s affecting your breathing or swallowing, or an injury to the face. A&E usually can’t do dental treatment like fillings, extractions or root canals, so for toothache, broken teeth and abscesses a dentist is the right place and much quicker.
Do you offer emergency appointments for children?
Yes. Call and tell us what’s happened. Knocked-out or loosened baby teeth are treated differently from adult ones, so let us know your child’s age when you ring.
Or WhatsApp us, weekends included
Emergency patients travel to us from Burnt Oak, Stanmore, Mill Hill, Colindale, Queensbury, Kingsbury and Hendon.

Once the pain has gone, people often ask us about repairing a chipped front tooth with composite bonding, replacing a tooth we could not save with a dental implant, or straightening teeth with Invisalign.
Individual results vary and all treatment is subject to clinical assessment.
