Emergency dental care

If you have toothache, a broken tooth that is causing you discomfort or have damaged your mouth in an accident, please give us a call on 01483 535220. If you call early in the morning we will try and arrange an emergency dental appointment for you for the same day.

As we work on an appointment system, all emergencies have to be fitted in between or after the existing appointments. We will try our best to minimise waiting time for emergency patients, but we respectfully ask patients to be aware that in some cases there may be an unavoidable delay.

Outside of practice hours patients may ring the usual practice number 01483 535220. The recorded message will then advise you how to contact the Guildford Dental Centre team.

Whilst waiting for your appointment you may want to try the following steps to help you manage any dental emergencies:

  • If you are in pain, use an over the counter pain reliever such as paracetamol (unless advised not to by your GP)
  • Rinse your mouth out with warm water
  • Apply pressure on any bleeding areas using gauze or a wet teabag
  • Apply an icepack to your cheek if there’s any swelling
  • If you have access to it, cover any major cracks with temporary dental cement
  • Cover any broken teeth with milk, saliva or saline solution

Whilst the above steps may help you manage any dental discomfort, its still important to see a dentists ASAP in order to address the underlying issue and prevent further deterioration.

The staff are very skilled and professional,Everything is explained well and that makes one relax. I don’t know how they do it but I have never felt any pain when having treatment.

I had a great experience at Guildford Dental Centre, the receptionist Jacqui was extremely helpful, re booking my appointments. And my dentist Derek was very reassuring with my future dental plans.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre . Derek is an amazing dentist who’s kind, patient & is in my opinion second to none. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! His nurse Megan is warm, kind and makes me feel so comfortable as soon as I walk into the surgery. The reception team are so efficient, easy to talk to and professional.

I highly recommend Guildford Dental Centre for anyone looking at dental services in the Guildford or the wider Surrey/surrounding areas. Dr. Derek Whittle and Megan were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and efficient during my recent visit. I received a thorough cleaning, a filling, and measurements alongside clear instructions for teeth whitening, all of which were done with great care and professionalism, as well as useful tips for maintaining good dental health through best practice habits and lifestyle choices. The procedures were a complete success, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend this practice for their exceptional service and approach.

The dental hygienist is very thorough and good communicator and patient and as I'm an anxious patient that means alot to me.

I am happy with Guildford Dental Centre because I have confidence in Dr Whittle, my dentist,who I trust to only recommend treatments which are genuinely necessary.He has done major root canal work on me and a few awkward fillings, and always works swiftly and gently,keeping me informed about progress as he goes along,and most importantly, he manages to do unpleasant dental procedures without me having any pain!
