What does an emergency dental appointment cost?
An NHS urgent appointment in England is one charge of £27.90 (nhs.uk, checked 20 October 2026). The NHS lists what it can include: an examination, X-rays, a temporary filling, draining an abscess, treating a knocked-out tooth or an injury, removing up to 2 teeth, and one urgent filling. If you need more treatment afterwards, that can carry a further charge.
The NHS says you can contact any NHS dentist and ask for an appointment if you have symptoms. When you call, say it is urgent and describe the problem. If you cannot find a dentist, or you are not sure where to go, call 111 or use 111 online for advice. The NHS says to go to A&E or call 999 if you have a serious injury to your face or jaw, heavy bleeding from your mouth that will not stop, severe swelling of your mouth, lips, throat or neck and you're having difficulty breathing or opening one or both eyes, or a head or face injury that caused you to lose consciousness, vomit or have double vision.
A private emergency appointment is charged at the practice's own fee. Ask for the price when you call, and ask whether any follow-up treatment would be NHS or private.

Questions people ask
How much is an emergency dentist on the NHS?
In England an urgent NHS appointment is £27.90 (nhs.uk, checked 20 October 2026). It is free if you qualify for free NHS dental treatment, for example if you are under 18 or pregnant.
Can I get urgent dental care if I do not have a regular dentist?
You can ask. The NHS says you can contact any NHS dentist and ask for an appointment if you have symptoms, and NHS 111 can give you advice on where to go.
How do I know a practice offers this treatment?
Each profile lists the treatments that practice says it provides. Services and dentists change, so ask the practice to confirm before you book.
What should I ask before booking?
Ask which dentist will treat you, whether the treatment is available on the NHS or only privately, and for a written treatment plan and costs before any work starts.
Can I switch dentist part-way through treatment?
Yes, you can choose another practice at any time. The new practice will need to assess you and may not be able to continue another practice's plan, so ask your current practice for your records and the treatment plan, and ask the new one what it can take on.
Are the practices listed here checked?
Every practice listed was on the Care Quality Commission register of dental services when its details were read from that register, and each profile shows that date. Practices that have claimed their listing have also passed our ownership check. This site is independent and not affiliated with the GDC, CQC or NHS.
