Getting help with a dental problem

If you have a dental problem you should contact your dental practice for an appointment. The team will give you advice about the options available and guide you to make sure you get the right treatment.

Where your practice is closed, you should hear a message which provides details of their out of hours arrangements for providing advice and treatment.

Outside normal working hours (between 6pm and 8am on weekdays or anytime at weekends), if you have an URGENT dental need, please contact NHS 24 on 111.

If you are not registered with a dentist
