Dental problems

The surgery cannot help with problems with your teeth and gums. We recommend seeing a dentist instead.

NHS dental services

Dentists are open for routine and urgent treatments.

Treatment may be free if you meet the eligibility criteria.

You will get seen sooner if your condition is urgent.

 

Urgent advice: If you need urgent help

Contact NHS 111 if you have:

  • significant facial swelling
  • uncontrolled bleeding
  • severe dental pain
  • a severe dental injury (trauma)

In urgent situations, 111 may be able to book you an emergency dentist appointment.
