Patients of the practice who have a dental emergency when the practice is not open, should telephone 01202 528949, and a recorded message will give details of the on-call dentist.

This dentist will provide telephone advice and treatment where it cannot be safely delayed until the practice is open again.

Patients who do not need to be seen as an emergency, but feel that they do need to see a dentist quickly because of dental pain, should telephone the practice during opening hours and they will be given advice and an appointment at the earliest possible opportunity. For our children patients the responsibility lies with the Primary Care Trust.
