“Great experience having had some tooth pain at the end of a holiday. They quickly identified the problem and performed an extraction on the same day. After care has also been excellent. Highly recommended.”

“I cant speak highly enough of Night and Day Emergency Dentist. Contacted them on Saturday via WhatsApp and within minutes they messaged back.. After a few messages an appointment was arranged within the hour. From the moment I arrived i was made to feel welcome and put at ease. Once I had went through what was wrong and a Xray was taken. It was then explained that they could help and what that would involve and of course cost was discussed therefore no hiddened surprises. My procedure was a difficult one to say that in the roots where stubborn and difficult to remove. Not once did I feel stressed worried or concerned. I felt that although a difficult removal they had it in hand and were reassuring me throughout. Clear aftercare instructions was given both verbally and written and they advised myself of what the next week would entail. So so happy that they were there to help and I will not hesitate to return ( hopefully i wont need to ) or indeed recommend them to others... Wonderful service start to finish including a message to check up on you and additional appoint to check all has healed as planned.”

“I recently came in for an emergency appointment and was seen the same day, the dentist and nurse were outstanding. Both were extremely friendly, professional and made me feel at ease when I was in so much pain. I received excellent care and would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist. Thank you for such a positive experience :)”

Frequently FAQs

Bleeding or painful gums Q-A

Simple details on how we control infection, eliminate soreness, and deliver fast results.

The most common cause is a build-up of plaque along the gum line, which leads to inflammation known as gingivitis. Other causes include gum disease, brushing too hard, medications, or an underlying infection that needs professional attention.

If the bleeding is persistent, heavy, or accompanied by swelling, pain, or a bad smell, you should get it checked urgently. Call our Edinburgh clinic and we'll assess whether you need same-day treatment.

It's usually a sign of gum disease, an infection, or an abscess forming beneath the gum line. Hormonal changes, certain medications, and trapped food can also trigger soreness and inflammation.

We are open 07:00am to 11:45pm, seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Same-day appointments are usually available. Early morning, late evening and out-of-hours slots may carry a call-out fee, confirmed on the phone 07999820365 before you commit.

We will let you know exactly what to expect and any precautions for the first few hours after your appointment.

Don't wait for it to settle on its own. The sooner we see you at our Edinburgh clinic, the easier it is to treat and the less likely it is to develop into something more serious.

Yes, but switch to a soft-bristled brush and be gentle around the sore areas. Stopping brushing altogether will allow more plaque to build up and make things worse.

Yes, if left untreated. Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum disease, which can progress and damage the bone supporting your teeth. Getting seen early is the simplest way to prevent that.
