Dental Issues

We are unable to treat suspected dental infections or abscesses or advise about specific dental problems. Please speak to your dentist or ring 111 to access an emergency dentist. The clinicians in the surgery will only be able to advise about pain relief in the context of dental problems.

How can I access an NHS dentist in an emergency or out of hours?
