What is an emergency dental appointment?
A dental emergency can come out of nowhere – a cracked tooth, sharp pain, swelling, or something just not feeling right. An emergency appointment is designed to give you quick, effective care when you need it most.
At Lateral Dental, we set aside time every day for dental emergencies in Sheffield. Whether you’re a regular patient or brand new, we’ll do everything we can to see you as soon as possible – often the same day. Our goal is to get you out of pain quickly, then help you decide what to do next.
What is considered an emergency?
- Toothache and pain – Severe pain or sensitivity can be a sign of infection or decay that needs urgent attention.
- Broken or chipped teeth – Whether it’s a front tooth or a molar, we can restore or protect it quickly.
- Swelling or abscesses – Facial swelling, bleeding or gum infections can escalate fast – don’t wait it out.
- Lost fillings or crowns – We can repair or replace broken restorations before they cause bigger problems.
- Dental trauma – Accidents happen. If a tooth is knocked, loose, or damaged, we’ll assess it immediately.

What happens at an emergency appointment?
When you call with an emergency, our team will ask a few quick questions to understand what’s going on. This helps us prioritise your care and get you seen as soon as possible – often on the same day.
At the appointment, we’ll listen to your symptoms, carry out a careful examination, and take any X-rays if needed. The main goal is to get you out of pain quickly and safely. That might involve removing infection, smoothing a sharp tooth, replacing a lost filling, or starting treatment for a bigger issue like a root canal or extraction.
We know dental emergencies can feel overwhelming – especially if you’re nervous or haven’t been to a dentist in a while. But we’re here to help, not to judge. Once the urgent issue is settled, we’ll talk you through your options clearly, including costs and next steps. You’ll leave feeling clearer, calmer, and on the road to recovery.

Your questions answered by the team who handle dental emergencies every day.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
Yes – we keep emergency slots available daily. Call us early and we’ll do everything we can to see you the same day.
I’m not registered with your practice – can I still come?
Absolutely. You don’t need to be an existing patient to get emergency care here.
How much does an emergency appointment cost?
We’ll explain any costs clearly when you book. Your appointment will include an exam, X-ray if needed, and immediate treatment if possible.
What if I’m in a lot of pain?
That’s exactly what emergency care is for. We’ll focus on getting you out of pain first – then discuss long-term treatment options if needed.
Is it better to go to A&E for dental emergencies?
In most cases, no. A&E can’t offer dental treatment – we’re equipped to deal with tooth pain, swelling, and trauma directly.
