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.

I came into see the Hygienist at the beginning of August. I can honestly say in all my years of attending the Dentist, this Lady has to be the best!She was patient and explained everything. The way she cleaned my teeth was gentle but effective. She gave me helpful advice on what to do going forward.I really hope I see her again.She is a true asset to the Dentist.

Everyone I dealt with today was so friendly and professional. Vinusha, my dentist, has a lovely manner and made me feel comfortable. I have been with this practice for years; it is a five-star dental practice!

Having been a patient for a decade+ it's refreshing to know that when I had a problem it was addressed by the hospitable general manager himself (Mr. S Morgan) and a follow up was conducted during my next visit. This was a kind gesture. The receptionists are friendly and welcoming. Dr Ganesalingam is a respectful dentist who answers questions thoroughly and gives compassionate advice 🌟

Had 3 fillings done here under sedation and it was like it never happened. I closed my eye and opened them and it was done. I was nervous before the appointment but they got me sedated within a couple of mins of being in the dentists chair.

I have used this dentist for years and have no complaints about them whatsoever. My latest visit was on Monday 23 June 2025 and as usual, the receptionists were lovely. I was checked by a new dentist who was also very pleasant. Can recommend this practice without hesitation.

My son age 12 had his first tooth extraction with just an injection, what can I say the young man dentist sorry didn't get a name. Absolutely Fantastic with my son, had him laughing and 3 mins later tooth out, that's with a back tooth that should have been a sedation as near a nerve apparently. But we couldn't wait as he is having braces next week. 100% fantastic with the kids

I had the treatment yesterday to prepare for a cap that will be fitted in two weeks. Everything went really smoothly — the process was efficient and comfortable, and the dentist, his assistant, and the office staff were all friendly and helpful. I was well cared for.

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.
