Emergencies

An emergency in dental care is normally considered as toothache or dental pain, swelling, prolonged bleeding after extraction, problem with a front tooth affecting appearance or other conditions for which the patient is unable to wait for the next routine appointment.

During opening hours we will try and give patients with an emergency an appointment as soon as we can, although there may be a wait.

Outside of working hours (and upto 9 pm), the number of the emergency dental services may be obtained by phoning into our Practice on 0121 687 8882. The details of our OUT OF HOURS services are as follows:

We now have two types of Out-of-hours emergency services:
