Emergency Dental Care — Blackpool
Emergency appointments start from £79. No waiting list and a transparent fee before treatment starts.
When to Call Immediately
- Severe unmanaged pain, particularly if it is stopping you sleeping or eating
- A dental abscess (swelling in the gum or face, often with throbbing pain)
- A knocked-out permanent tooth (the first hour is critical for possible re-implantation)
- A broken tooth causing pain or a sharp edge cutting your tongue or cheek
- Uncontrolled bleeding from the mouth after an injury
- Signs of infection spreading — facial swelling, difficulty swallowing, fever
What Happens When You Call
Our reception team will triage your symptoms over the phone. If a slot is genuinely needed the same day, we'll find one — we reserve capacity in every day's schedule for true emergencies. For less urgent problems (mild sensitivity, small chips without pain) we'll typically see you within 2–3 working days. All options and costs are discussed before any treatment starts.
Emergency Fees
Emergency appointments start from from £79 — this covers the assessment and any immediate pain relief. Any treatment needed is quoted separately before we begin, with 0% finance available for larger treatment plans. Membership plan members receive unlimited emergency appointments at no extra cost.
If We're Closed
Outside our hours (Mon–Fri 8:30am–5:30pm, Sat: Closed) call NHS 111 for out-of-hours dental help. They can direct you to the nearest emergency service. For severe facial swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, go to A&E at Blackpool Victoria Hospital — that's a hospital issue, not a dental one.
