Dental problems can happen at any time, and when you’re dealing with pain or something just doesn’t feel right, it’s not always easy to know what counts as an emergency. These signs can help you decide when it’s time to seek urgent dental care.
Persistent pain in your teeth or gums could signal an infection or abscess. These issues rarely go away on their own and can quickly worsen. Prompt care can relieve pain and prevent more serious complications.
A cracked or broken tooth can be painful and may leave the nerve exposed. Even if it doesn’t hurt right away, it’s best to act quickly to avoid infection or long-term damage to the tooth.
Sudden bleeding from the gums could be a sign of trauma, infection, or gum disease. If the bleeding doesn’t stop or is accompanied by swelling or pain, it’s important to seek urgent dental attention.
Losing a crown or filling can leave a tooth exposed and sensitive. It may feel sharp, painful or uncomfortable when eating or drinking. Emergency treatment protects the tooth and prevents further damage or decay.
Whether it’s the middle of the night or early in the morning, urgent dental care should never feel out of reach. If you’re not sure what to do, we’re here to help and get things sorted quickly.
Linda2025-08-26 Emergency appointment for pain and swelling around area where I had recently had a tooth extracted. Excellent service - easy to make appointment at surgery in Billericay on August Bank Holiday Saturday. Saw dentist Rob and assistant Taya. Problem diagnosed and clearly explained. Received treatment and now on road to recovery. Highly recommend. Emily Fradley2025-08-25 Had terrible toothache on the bank holiday and couldn’t get help from anywhere, 247 dentist got me an appointment within the hour. Guillermo and Natalie were both lovely and kind and listened to all my worries and asked me what my preferences were for treatment. Fastest and most pain free tooth extraction I’ve ever had. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you so much! Boyd Shaw2025-08-15 I visited 247 dentistry in Poole several nights ago. I had a tricky wisdom tooth extraction…. Now when I say I’m nervous about the dentist you can understand that this is my biggest nightmare! Sarah & Ash had the tooth out in a matter of minutes, and I can honestly say I didn’t feel any pain at all (none whatsoever) Sarah explained my options before we started extensively and whilst it’s not my ideal environment on a Friday night I can say it was the most pleasing visit to a dentist surgery in my life. Sarah and Ash, thanks again girls! I would highly recommend this practice for anyone that has an oral emergency, it’s great value for money for the service they provide. Caroline B2025-08-10 I can't thank the lovely call handler Sarah enough for her warmth, kindness and generosity of spirit! She did a great job and my son had some great dental treatment too!

I was seen by Ellen and Ruba and I had the best experience I’ve ever had with a dentist. I had a terrible infection and was in severe pain and discomfort. Due to being a Saturday my routine dentist was closed and I could not wait till Monday. They saw me the same day and got me sorted in no time. They explained everything so well and I felt so comfortable there. Will definitely be using again if needed in future. Thank you again for all your help!
