Frequently asked questions

  • Where can I find an emergency dentist near me?

    If you’re based in Purley, Croydon, or nearby areas, Foxley Lane Dental is your local Purley clinic for same-day emergency dental care. Our experienced team provides prompt attention for urgent cases - from tooth pain and infection to trauma and swelling - helping you feel comfortable again - fast. We’re conveniently located in the heart of Purley, offering expert dental care and supportive follow-up plans for both adults and children.

  • What counts as a dental emergency?

    Common dental emergencies include toothache, infection, swelling, a broken tooth, or a knocked-out tooth. Other emergency cases may involve bleeding from an accident or sporting injury, or pain following previous dental treatment. If you’re unsure, call our Purley practice for advice - we’ll assess your situation and let you know if you need to be seen immediately for diagnostic tests and emergency treatment.

  • Can I see an emergency dentist in Purley without being registered?

    Absolutely - you don’t need to be an existing patient to access emergency dental services at our Purley dental practice. We welcome both existing and new patients, providing calm, compassionate support throughout your visit and beyond.

  • How much does an emergency dental appointment in Croydon cost?

    Emergency appointment fees at Foxley Lane Dental start at £55 - but vary depending on the type of treatment needed, such as relief of pain, infection control, or repairing teeth that have been damaged. Our team will always discuss the options and provide a clear breakdown of costs before any procedure. You’ll receive a detailed treatment plan at your emergency appointment, outlining any next steps for continued dental care.

  • Can I get a same-day emergency dentist appointment in Purley or Croydon?

    In most cases, yes - we reserve daily slots for emergency appointments so you can receive immediate care without delay. Our clinicians provide prompt treatment and effective solutions for pain relief, infection management, and preventing further damage to your teeth or gums.

  • What should I do if my tooth is knocked out or broken?

    Handle the tooth carefully, avoiding the root, and place it in milk or saliva. Call our emergency dentist in Purley immediately for urgent treatment - timing is crucial for saving a tooth and avoiding complications. While you wait, avoid eating on the affected side and keep the area clean.

  • What should I do if I have dental trauma, swelling, or facial injury?

    Apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and discomfort, and contact our Purley clinic as soon as possible. Our team has extensive experience treating dental injuries, infection, and pain following an accident. We’ll provide rapid, prompt and professional care to relieve symptoms and protect your smile.

  • Dental emergencies - when should I go to A&E instead of an emergency dentist?

    Visit A&E if you have heavy bleeding, extremely severe toothache or intense pain, facial injury, swelling that makes it difficult to swallow, difficulty breathing, or severe pain around your jaw, face or neck. These may need urgent hospital care. For all other urgent issues, our Purley dental team is here to provide emergency dental treatment under expert care to prevent further complications.
