Dental pain rarely arrives at a convenient time, so it helps to know when you can reach us.

• Sunday closed
If something happens while we're open, call our team and we'll book you an emergency dental appointment in Croydon as a priority. Our hours can change over bank holidays, so call us first, and if we're closed, NHS 111 can help you access urgent care.
We offer same-day emergency appointments for £55, subject to availability. That means you can be seen in the practice as soon as availability allows. When you call, we'll ask about your symptoms and let you know whether you need to be seen urgently. We'll then find the soonest appointment slot we have available, and talk you through how to manage until then.
Not every dental problem needs an emergency appointment, but these usually need quick attention.
• Severe toothache, especially with swelling or a fever
• A tooth that's been knocked out or loosened
• A broken or cracked tooth that's painful or has a sharp edge
• Swelling in your mouth, gum, face or jaw
• Bleeding that won't stop
• A lost crown or filling that's causing pain
If you're not sure, a call to our emergency dentist in Croydon can help you work out what kind of urgent dental care in Croydon you need.
Some problems start suddenly. Others build over a few days until the pain becomes hard to ignore. These are the emergency dental care problems patients most often contact us about.
An abscess is a pocket of infection at the root of a tooth or in the gum. It can cause severe pain, swelling and sometimes a fever, and needs to be seen as soon as possible, so if you think you have a dental abscess in Croydon, call us as soon as you notice it.
A crack can let bacteria into the tooth and cause sharp pain when you bite. Keep any pieces and avoid chewing on that side until you're seen.
A lost filling or crown can leave the tooth sensitive or sharp. It isn't always urgent, but if it's painful, call us so we can protect the tooth.
The first hour can make a difference, especially with a knocked-out tooth.
Pick it up by the crown, the white part, rather than the root. If it's dirty, rinse it briefly in milk, and if you can, place it gently back in the socket and bite on a clean cloth. If not, keep it in milk and call us straight away. Baby teeth shouldn't be put back in, but your child should still be seen.
Rinse with warm salty water and gently floss in case something is trapped. Over-the-counter painkillers can help, taken as the packet directs, and a pharmacist can advise you on what's suitable.
Keep any pieces, avoid chewing on that side, and hold a cold compress against your cheek if there's swelling. Bring the crown with you to your appointment.
Go to A&E or call 999 in any of these situations.
• Swelling that's affecting your breathing or swallowing
• Swelling spreading towards your eye or down your neck
• Heavy bleeding that won't stop after 15 minutes of firm pressure
• A serious injury to your face or jaw
For most other dental problems, an emergency dentist is usually the quickest route to treatment, as A&E departments don't usually have dentists on hand. If you need urgent dental care in Croydon, call Feel Good Dental during our opening hours to check our next available emergency appointment. If we're closed, NHS 111 can help you access urgent dental care.
The first aim of your visit is to get you out of pain. Your dentist will examine the area and may take an x-ray to find the cause, then relieve your discomfort. That might mean treating an infection, placing a temporary filling, smoothing a sharp edge or, occasionally, an extraction.
If you need further dental treatment, we'll explain your options and the costs before anything is booked. If you're anxious, tell us and we'll talk you through local anaesthetic and sedation options so you feel at ease. Read more about our emergency dentist service in Croydon.
The quickest way to reach a same-day dentist in Croydon is to call our dental practice on 020 4553 3077. When you call, it helps to include a few details.
• Where the pain is and how long you've had it
• Whether you have any swelling or a fever
• If a tooth has been knocked out, broken or loosened
• Any medicines you take or medical conditions we should know about
This information helps us decide how quickly you need to be seen, and we'll always try to find you the soonest possible appointment.
