During Practice hours:
We try to help at short notice on real dental emergencies (e.g. sudden pain or haemorrhage) as well as other dental problems such as a broken filling or denture, a loose crown, or a vague discomfort. We allocate parts of the day to short notice urgent cases.

Call Reception on 01380-722387 for advice.

If we have time available, then we will try to help genuine distress cases who are not our registered patients. In this case, the patient will prepay a fixed fee to cover a brief appointment.

EMERGENCY SERVICES Out of Hours

Advice for our regular patients only:
An emergency rota of local GDPs from private dental practices in the locality man this service for their patients only.

Out of normal hours there will be a recorded message which advises you how to contact an emergency dentist. You will be asked to call a pager operator on 07623-946093 (this number may change and it is best to check the recorded message).

On connection, a message reminds you of the information to give, then you pass to an operator. The emergency dentist is on duty weekdays end of surgery time to 7.00pm and weekends/public holidays 9.00am to 5.00pm.

If you attend a practice out of hours you must be prepared to pay in advance for the service. Our practice sees its own under 18s free for a genuine callout.
