“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 :)”

Dental abscess & swelling Q-A

Learn what to expect during emergency infection care, same-day appointment availability, and costs for urgent dental treatment in Edinburgh.

We numb the area fully before we start, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. Most patients actually feel instant relief once the pressure from the abscess is released.

Absolutely. A dental abscess is an infection that won't clear up on its own and can spread to other parts of your body if left untreated. Call our Edinburgh clinic as soon as you notice swelling, throbbing pain, or a bad taste in your mouth.

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.

You'll usually notice a painful swelling on the gum that looks like a small bump, sometimes with a foul taste if it starts to drain. It's often accompanied by throbbing pain, sensitivity to hot and cold, and sometimes a fever.

We'll drain the abscess to relieve the pressure and pain, then treat the source of the infection with a root canal, filling, or extraction depending on the damage. Everything is done under local anaesthetic so you'll be comfortable throughout.

As soon as possible. A dental infection can spread to your jaw, throat, or even your bloodstream, turning a treatable problem into something far more serious.

You can hold a cold compress against the outside of your cheek and take ibuprofen to reduce swelling and pain. But these are temporary measures, so make sure you get to our Edinburgh clinic as soon as you can.
