In an Emergency
EMERGENCIES DURING PRACTICE HOURS
Please contact the practice early in the day. We will always endeavour to see a patient in pain on the same day. If we do not have an appointment available we will suggest the best time for you to 'sit and wait' although we cannot guarantee how long you may have to wait as patients with appointments usually have priority.
EMERGENCIES DURING PRACTICE HOURS
All Registered Patients
Alternatively, in case of emergency all patients are able to use the NHS emergency service by phoning NHS Direct on 0845 8400065.
For all cases of toothache please see our page on Pain Management and contact the surgery as soon as possible during opening hours.
