Urgent Dental Care

Our priority continues to be the safety of our team and our patients. As demand on our service increases, we continue to adapt how we work in line with national guidance. This means you may not get an appointment today. We understand this frustration but please be kind and respect our team; we are doing our best to help you as soon as possible.

What we do

Our Dental Access Centres provide dental care to both children and adults who are in pain, have suffered dental trauma, or have facial swelling or excessive bleeding. This extends to patients visiting the country.

This service is available to patients who:

• are unable to access dental treatment from their regular dentist
• are not under a current course of treatment with a dentist
• patients who do not have a current dentist
• patients who are visiting the area

Appointments are made on a first come first serve basis and are subject to a strict triage process. You will be asked a series of questions to allow us to assess and prioritise your needs.

The aim is to make you as comfortable as possible and to offer pain relief until you can be seen by a regular dentist. Temporary filling, dressings and extractions are offered if required.

Charges

NHS charges do apply unless you are exempt from paying for your dental care. Proof of exemption will be asked for.

Out Of Hours emergencies

Telephone NHS 111

Please call 111 for advice if you have:

• severe dental and, or facial pain that cannot be controlled by pain relief
• infection of the teeth and, or gums
• uncontrollable bleeding
• suffered a dental trauma.
