When is Essex Family Dental open for urgent dental care?

Not all dental treatments can be planned for so, when emergencies happen, our dentists are here to help you. Not only do we offer urgent same day appointments from 8.30am-5.30pm during the week, we’re also open over the weekend. We’re open from 10am-5pm every Saturday and Sunday to ensure you receive the treatment you need as quickly as possible. We’re one of the only clinics open on a Sunday in the Havering, Barking and Dagenham area, so instead of waiting in pain for an appointment on Monday and taking time away from your busy work week, let us deal with the problem right away for you.

What emergency dental issues can be treated?

Whether you’re in sudden pain from toothache or you need to see a dentist urgently because your dental crown has fallen out right before a big event, don’t worry - we’re here to help you. We’ll first do everything possible to get you out of pain during your emergency care appointment, after which your dentist will advise you of any additional treatment you may need. In many circumstances your dentist will be able to complete your emergency care on the same day. Tooth pain can be debilitating, so we’d like to help you feel better and carry on with your day as soon as we can.

Fantastic service. My Dentist, Ema, is very professional, friendly and puts you at ease at every appointment.

I saw Dr Foliades for my 6 monthly checkup. The service (appointment booking and treatment) was efficient, as always - and they still treat NHS patients. I would have no hesitation in recommending this practice to others.

I had an appointment with the dental hygienist today she was so lovely and put me at ease straight away. The receptionists were also very friendly and polite.

I had my first ever hygienist appointment with airflow. I was quite nervous but was quickly reassured by the lady that performed the procedure (sorry i cant remember her name). Really happy with the results. My teeth look so much cleaner and healthier. The staff were really friendly. I also had a consultation for inviserline. They took a quick scan of my teeth so I have a idea of how they compare to the Finnished result.

I took my 6 year old for a routine check up. The dentist was nice and friendly and made my daughter feel at ease. The dental nurse was friendly and accommodating, even when finding stickers that she liked.

Had my first appointment here today and I was pleasantly surprised. My dentist was Vinusha, she didn't rush me out, she listened to my concerns and explained everything clearly. As an NHS patient this was really nice experience.

5 stars! Gale street Dental care and their team are fantastic! I had an emergency appointment and they squeezed me in quickly. The reception staff are always super helpful and friendly. The dentist was professional, caring, and put me at ease. I'm so grateful for their excellent care. Highly recommend!

Always helpful and staff have a way at making me feel relaxed which is tough considering I do have a fear of the dentist. I come here over 20yrs ago as an emergency over Christmas and although it's out of my catchment area and I remained a patient which says alot about the surgery.

Frequently asked questions about emergency appointments

I am not registered with a dentist; can I still get an appointment?

You don’t have to be a current patient with us in order to come in for a private emergency appointment. You can call up or book online to be seen on the day, even if you’ve never come to one of our practices before.

How can I avoid dental emergencies in the future?

The best way to protect yourself from dental emergencies is with good habits. Regular check-ups with your dentist are vital to prevent dental emergencies, as they give your dentist the opportunity to identify any potential issues early on before they become urgent. You also need to stick to your oral care routine at home; brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day to maintain your oral health and give yourself the best chance at avoiding issues with your teeth and gums.
