Waterloo Dental & Orthodontics · Urgent dental care
Toothache, swelling, a broken tooth or a lost crown? We offer same-day emergency appointments for £75 at our practice on Waterloo Road, SE1 – call us as early in the day as you can. We are a dentist in Waterloo caring for NHS and private patients.
If something is hurting or has broken, it is better to get it checked quickly. These are the problems patients most often call us about.
Throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot and cold or pain when you bite can point to decay or an infected nerve that needs treatment.
Swelling of the gum or face can be a sign of infection. Call us promptly. If swelling affects your breathing or swallowing, call 999 or go to A&E.
A sharp or broken edge can often be smoothed or rebuilt with a tooth-coloured filling. Larger breaks may need a crown.
Keep a lost crown safe and bring it with you. We will check the tooth underneath and, where possible, refit it or protect the tooth.
Hold it by the crown, not the root, keep it moist in milk and call us straight away. Time matters with this kind of injury.
Our practice is led by specialist orthodontist Dr Sarah Sadek, so we can usually repair a broken bracket or trim a poking wire.
Painful, swollen gums around a wisdom tooth are common. We will find the cause and talk you through the options, including removal if needed.
Sudden pain or bleeding from the gums can be a sign of infection or gum disease that needs prompt care.
