Home » The Additional Urgent Dental Care Appointments Scheme

The Additional Urgent Dental Care Appointments Scheme is accessible to all of our residents via the NHS 111 telephone number to provide urgent dental care to patients who need to be seen and treated if you are experiencing symptoms such as: severe dental pain, swelling of the mouth and or bleeding that will not stop but this is not an exhaustive list of treatments.

This service is not a replacement for routine check-ups this service is primarily for urgent dental needs. Residents will be directed to one (1) of our eleven (11) dental providers who will conduct a clinical triage and if clinically appropriate the dental practice will then book the patient into an appointment slot.
