If you are not already registered with a dentist, please call 111.
Urgent dental care
Urgent dental care includes:
- Severe dental pain
- Broken or loose teeth

- Dry socket infections (after having a tooth taken out)

If you have had dental care within the past eight weeks you are known as an 'active' patient and your dentist must see you at their practice within 24 hours. If you need urgent care over the weekend, call 111.
If you haven't seen a dentist within the past eight weeks, you may need to go to an Urgent Treatment Centre. Call 111 to be directed to the best place for you.
