Emergency Dentist in Hythe.

Yes. If you are registered somewhere else but cannot get seen, we are happy to see you for a one-off emergency appointment. You do not need to be an existing Waterside patient.

We aim to see every emergency patient the same day. The earlier in the day you call, the more likely we can fit you in before we close. If you call late in the day, it may be the next morning.

An emergency appointment starts from £92. That covers seeing you, working out what is wrong, and getting you out of pain. If you need further treatment, we give you the cost in writing first, so there are no surprises.

We are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm, and Saturday, 9am to 2pm by appointment, with evening appointments every Monday. We are not a 24-hour service. If you have a genuine medical emergency, such as heavy bleeding that will not stop, trouble breathing or swallowing, or fast-spreading facial swelling, call 999 or go to A&E. For urgent dental advice when we are closed, you can call NHS 111.

Pick the tooth up by the crown, not the root. If it is dirty, clean it gently with milk or saliva. If you can, put it back in the socket. If not, keep it in a pot of milk and call us straight away. Do not try to put a child's baby tooth back in, as it can damage the adult tooth underneath. The sooner you are seen, the better the chance of saving it.

If you are in pain, bleeding, swollen, or you have broken or lost a tooth, it is worth calling. We would rather you phoned and let us decide than sat at home worrying. If it can wait, we will tell you honestly.

Yes. A lot of people only come in when pain forces them to, often after a bad experience elsewhere. We take our time, we explain everything, and we use The Wand for almost pain-free injections. You can bring someone in with you or hold a nurse's hand.

Getting you comfortable is our first priority. In most cases we can relieve the pain at your first visit, then plan any further treatment with you once you are out of pain.
