Emergency Dental Service

If you’re experiencing a dental problem, it’s important to know that GPs are not responsible for treating dental issues. Instead, you should follow these steps:

  1. Contact Your Usual Dentist: If you have a regular dentist, get in touch with them first. Some dental practices offer emergency dental appointments and will provide care if it’s clinically necessary.
  2. NHS 111: If you can’t reach your usual dentist or don’t have one, contact NHS 111 . They can connect you with an urgent dental service.
