Why start with a video consultation?
Many people pay for a private emergency appointment only to be told the problem could wait, or that they need to come back for treatment anyway.
Speaking to a dentist first means you know what's wrong, what will help now, and whether you need to be seen in person at all, before you spend more.

How much does a private emergency dentist cost?
Private emergency prices vary a lot between practices, so always ask before you go. With ToothAid, a video consultation is £19.99, and an in-person assessment at a participating practice is a fixed £39.99, the same at weekends. Any treatment is priced by the practice before it goes ahead.
Do I need to be registered with a dentist?
No. You don't need to be registered with any practice. You create a ToothAid account, book a slot and speak to a dentist.
How quickly can I be seen?
Video consultations are usually available the same day. If you need hands-on treatment, we aim to get you into a participating practice within 24 hours.
Can a private online dentist prescribe?
Where it is clinically appropriate, yes. The prescription is sent electronically and can be collected from a UK pharmacy.
When should I go to A&E instead?
Call 999 or go to A&E if you have swelling spreading towards your eye or neck, difficulty breathing, swallowing or opening your mouth, uncontrolled bleeding or a serious facial injury.
