Need urgent dental care?
URGENT dental service in Cheshire and Merseyside
Urgent dental care for patients in Cheshire and Merseyside is accessed via our Dental Helpline on 0161 476 9651 from 9am to 9.30pm every day, including weekends and Bank Holidays.
The service is provided according to strict clinical criteria, and when you call you’ll be assessed by a member of our clinical team to make sure your problem comes under either:
• Trauma – this is usually caused by a blow to the face, a lost filling is not classed as trauma
• Swelling of the face
• Bleeding – uncontrolled, such as after an extraction
• Pain that can’t be controlled by pain relief medicines
If you’re given an appointment and your problem doesn’t fit any of the above, you’ll still have to pay the NHS fee but may receive advice and not treatment.
