Frequently asked questions
What counts as a dental emergency?
A dental emergency includes severe toothache that paracetamol/ibuprofen won't control, swelling of the face or jaw, a knocked-out adult tooth (best chance of saving it is within 1 hour), uncontrolled bleeding after an extraction, and trauma to the teeth or jaw. If you have facial swelling spreading to your eye or neck, go to A&E — that's a medical emergency.
How much does an emergency dental appointment cost in Oxford?
Private emergency appointments in Oxford typically cost £75–£150 for the assessment, with treatment (extraction, temporary filling, root canal start) charged separately. NHS emergency dental treatment falls under Band 1 (£27.90) — but availability is very limited.
Can I get an NHS emergency dentist in Oxford?
NHS 111 can refer you to an emergency NHS dentist if one is available — call them first. Some practices in Oxford also offer NHS emergency slots, but availability is extremely limited and often booked days in advance. Most patients with urgent issues end up paying for private emergency care.
What should I do for tooth pain before I can see a dentist?
Take paracetamol and ibuprofen alternating (if you can take both — check with a pharmacist), apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek for swelling, rinse with warm salt water (1 tsp salt in a cup of water), and avoid very hot/cold food. Don't put aspirin directly on the tooth — it burns the gum. If pain is severe or you're developing facial swelling, seek same-day care.
