Emergencies
In the event you require emergency, non-planned treatment:
- Existing NHS and private customers can call the reception team from 8:30am during office hours;
- Non-registered patients should call from 9:15am, subject to availability.
We have a limited number of reserved emergency appointments that only allocate on the same day of calling. We use a triage process to help identify whose needs are the most urgent, and have a right to prioritise registered customers.
To non-registered customers, sorry but you will not automatically become a registered customer once seen.
If there are no remaining emergencies when you call, we can offer advice. And if you are registered with another dentist or undergoing treatment, please contact them. See services for more details.
Should a tooth be knocked-out, please see the IADT advice and advice for children from the NHS here.
