Emergency dentist
Emergency dentist online — speak to a UK dentist today
In pain and can't get an NHS appointment? Book a secure video consultation with a GDC-registered UK dentist, usually the same day, for £19.99. Get a clear answer, pain advice that works, a prescription where clinically appropriate, and an urgent referral if you need to be seen in a chair.
When to call 999 or go to A&E instead
Do not book online if you have facial swelling spreading towards your eye or neck, difficulty breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious injury to your face or jaw. These need emergency care immediately.
How we help
What an emergency dentist can do by video
Tell you what is actually going on
Severe toothache, a swollen face, a broken tooth or a lost filling all feel similar at 10pm. A dentist can tell you which one you are dealing with and how urgent it is.
Prescribe where it is appropriate
If you have a spreading infection, your dentist can issue an antibiotic prescription electronically through our regulated prescribing partner, Clynxx.
Get you seen in person, faster
If you need a chair, a drill or an extraction, we refer you to a participating practice who propose an urgent time for you to accept.
Without sitting in a waiting room
A private video room, on your phone, from home. No queue, no 8am redial, no travelling while you are in pain.

Emergency dentist questions
Can an online emergency dentist actually help me?
Yes, for most urgent dental problems. A GDC-registered dentist can assess your symptoms, tell you what is happening, advise on pain relief that works, prescribe antibiotics where clinically appropriate, and arrange an urgent referral to a practice if you need hands-on treatment.
How quickly can I speak to an emergency dentist?
Appointments are usually available the same day. You pick a time from live availability, pay £19.99 to confirm, and join a private video room at your appointment time.
Can you prescribe antibiotics for a dental infection?
Where it is clinically appropriate, yes. Prescriptions are issued through Clynxx, our regulated prescribing partner, and sent electronically to a pharmacy. Antibiotics are not always the right answer — an abscess usually also needs treatment at a practice to deal with its source.
What counts as a dental emergency that needs A&E?
Facial swelling spreading towards your eye or neck, difficulty breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury all need emergency care immediately — call 999 or attend A&E rather than booking online.
How much does an emergency dental consultation cost?
£19.99 for a video consultation with a UK dentist. There is no membership or subscription. If you go on to be treated at a practice, that practice charges for the treatment separately.
I have knocked out a tooth — what should I do?
This is time-critical. Handle the tooth by the crown, not the root, rinse it briefly in milk or saline if it is dirty, and try to place it back in the socket or store it in milk. Get to an emergency dentist in person as soon as possible, ideally within 30 minutes.
