Dental

If you need dental treatment in an emergency call a dentist. Some surgeries offer urgent appointments at short notice if you do not have a dentist you can find one by calling 111 or find out more by accessing NHS111 online.

If you need to see a dentist out of hours 
  • call a dentist: their voicemail may advise where to get out-of-hours treatment
  • call NHS 111 to find an out-of-hours dental service near you 

 

Do not contact a GP, as they will not be able to offer emergency or out-of-hours dental care. 

 
If you're in pain while waiting to see a dentist, take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. NHS 111 can also offer other self-care advice.
