Dental services

Information and advice if you have a dental emergency or you wish to register with an NHS dentist.

What to do if you have a dental emergency?

If you need immediate care for your teeth, you should:

  • Ask your regular dentist whether they can offer an emergency appointment​
  • Phone NHS111 who can locate an urgent dental service
  • Visit A&E if you experience severe pain, heavy bleeding, or injuries to the face, mouth or teeth

If you are not registered with a dentist

Use the NHS website to search for a dentist near you. The site also provides information on which dental practices are currently accepting new patients, whether they offer urgent appointments, and how other people have rated the service.
