Emergency appointments

If you are a registered patient of the practice, (or a new patient under an open treatment plan), we will always do our best to offer you a same-day appointment for emergency treatment. This appointment may not be with your usual dentist, and we may not be able to offer a same day appointment if you contact us after 11am.

If you are experiencing dental pain or discomfort, we recommend you contact us as soon as possible, so that we can arrange to assess your problem. We also recommend that you take any over the counter painkillers you would usually take for any other aches or pains (e.g. headache), to minimise your discomfort, taking care not to exceed the dosage instructions on the packet.
