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.
