Dental Emergencies
Emergency Dental Treatment
During normal working hours we shall try our very best to see any of our patients with problems: usually the same day. Priority, of course, goes to our registered patients, but where we are able we shall also help all those people who seek our help: regardless as to whether they have a dentist or not.
We advise calling as early as possible for the best chance of being seen in the same day, as our emergency slots are limited.
​
If emergency treatment is carried out within working hours, we generally do not charge other than the actual cost of examination and treatment.
​
Please call the Practice Number and we will make arrangements to help you: 01646 690580.
Out Of Hours Care
Out of hours (1730 - 0830 hours & Weekends), we are generally unable to assist. The same applies to most dentists: private or NHS.
If you are experiencing problems that simply cannot wait until the practice is opened then we advise:
​
-
Contact NHS Direct Helpline for advice on 111. They are available 24-hours a day, 365 days a year to offer help.
-
If very urgent, attend your local A&E Department.
-
Email or leave an answerphone message, citing an emergency, one of our dentists aim to contact you with a view to helping you. Where this cannot be sorted over the phone, an emergency appointment may be offered subject to a charge (typically £150 call out plus treatment changes). This cost covers the dentist and a dental nurse attending but not any treatment costs.
