Covid-19 Update

We are continuing to monitor the advice of Public Health England and are providing an emergency service by appointment only. If you have a need for urgent dental care, please call the practice and leave a voicemail. Messages are monitored and you will be called back within 24hours with advice and support. Please do not attend the practice in person for any reason unless you have been invited to do so.

Urgent care includes treatment for:
* Dental and soft tissue infections.
*Severe dental and facial pain, that cannot be controlled by the patient following self-help advice.
* Fractured tooth with nerve damage.

Dental emergencies include:
Trauma – including facial laceration.
Oro-facial swelling that is significant and/or worsening.
Bleeding that the patient is not able to control.

Treatments we cannot currently undertake:
* Mild or moderate pain (not associated with an urgent care condition and that responds to pain relief measures).
*Lost crowns and fillings.
