Children’s Emergency Dentist London
Need an emergency dentist for your child?
Dental emergencies involving children can be distressing for both the child and their parents. Whether it’s a sudden toothache, a fall resulting in a knocked-out tooth, or a cracked or broken tooth during play, it’s vital to act fast and seek professional care. At 76 Harley Street, our experienced team offers specialist-led children’s emergency dental care in London, ensuring that young patients receive prompt, gentle, and effective treatment in a safe and calm environment.
We understand the urgency and emotional impact of a dental emergency. Our clinic offers same-day and out-of-hours appointments, making it easy for you to get the help your child needs, day or night. With a team that includes specialist paediatric dental experts, your child is in the best hands.
What to Do If Your Child Has a Dental Emergency
Remain calm and reassure your child – panicking may make them more anxious.
Call our emergency dental team immediately for advice and an appointment.
If a tooth has been knocked out, keep it moist in milk and bring it with you.
For bleeding, apply a clean cloth with gentle pressure to the affected area.
If there’s swelling or pain, use a cold compress on the outside of the face.
Avoid giving aspirin, but children’s paracetamol or ibuprofen can help manage pain if appropriate.
We are happy to guide you over the phone before your visit and will prepare to treat your child as soon as you arrive.
Children’s teeth and gums are still developing, which makes them more vulnerable to injury and infection. At our clinic, we commonly see emergencies such as knocked-out (avulsed) teeth, often caused by falls or sports accidents. Cracked or chipped teeth can occur from biting into something hard or experiencing trauma. Persistent toothaches or signs of infection may indicate decay or an abscess and require immediate attention.
Soft tissue injuries are also frequent, including cuts or damage to the lips, cheeks, or gums. In older children, lost crowns or fillings can occur and should be repaired quickly to avoid further complications. Orthodontic issues, such as broken braces or wires, can cause discomfort and may need urgent adjustment.
Prompt evaluation and treatment are crucial not only to relieve your child’s pain but also to prevent long-term problems and support healthy oral development.
Childrens Dental Emergency
Aftercare and Support for Childrens Dental Emergency Treatment
Following emergency treatment, we provide tailored aftercare instructions to ensure your child heals properly and comfortably. Depending on the procedure, we may recommend dietary changes, oral hygiene practices, and a follow-up visit to monitor recovery.
We also support parents with advice on how to protect their child’s teeth going forward, including the use of mouthguards, early orthodontic evaluations, and regular dental check-ups.
Emergency Dental Treatments for Children
At 76 Harley Street, our paediatric dental team is skilled in managing a wide range of dental emergencies in children. After a gentle examination and, if necessary, X-rays, we’ll explain your child’s treatment in a clear, compassionate way.
Depending on the nature of the emergency, treatment options include:
- Reattaching or replacing knocked-out teeth (when possible)
- Restoring cracked, broken, or decayed teeth with tooth-coloured fillings
- Prescribing antibiotics for infections or abscesses
- Performing emergency pulpotomies (child root canal)
- Treating soft tissue injuries with cleaning and suturing

We always aim to preserve the natural teeth and minimise stress for your child during their visit.
