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 10am-5.30pm during the week, we’re also open over the weekend. We’re open from 10am-9.30pm 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 attended for an extraction by sedation, referred by my dentist. Everyone was so professional and I felt very reassured immediately. Special thanks go to the dentist and anaesthetist who were so calm and friendly. I remember nothing of the procedure (thankfully!). Thank you, I am truly grateful to you for relieving my worries.

I would highly recommend Orchard Road Dental Surgery! I have small 2 children and the team are very polite and welcoming. The dentist took the time to make my children feel comfortable and at ease when having their check up. I am a very nervous person at the dentist so it helps that they can help make the children feel comfortable, as well as myself when it's been my turn. I have been coming here since I was a child and will continue to do so.

I had my wisdom tooth extracted by Kush and she was amazing I am very nervous of dentists even as a full grown adult! But she made me at ease and was a lot less scary then I anticipated. Highly recommend!!!! She's the best dentist around.

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 🌟

By far the best dentist. I called 111 due to my son having a sensitive tooth & in lots of pain. Got an emergency appointment and from the minute we arrived everyone was fantastic! The receptionist with blonde hair was such a lovely lady & very welcoming. All the staff were so attentive & made my son feel so relaxed. They gave us very good advice and reassurance why my son had pain. My son was so happy and even got a sticker too. Thankyou so much to all the team here. We will both be coming here as our dentist. Such a clean, stunning dentist was absolutely blown away

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.
