If you are a community Dental Service patient and are experiencing dental pain during normal working hours please call 02920 190175.
If you have a routine dental practitioner and are experiencing dental pain you should contact your dentist in the first instance. All dentists should have capacity for emergencies and if not they will direct you to the Emergency Dental Helpline that is available during evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
If you do not have access to a dental practice or you are experiencing dental pain please contact the emergency dental helpline via CAV 24/7 on 0300 10 20 247.
You will be triaged by a member of the primary care team. You will receive advice on pain relief and will be, if appropriate, booked into the most appropriate emergency location for your problem, which may be a Primary Care Dentist, Community Dentist or the University Dental Hospital.
The Community Dental Service does not provide a 24 hour emergency service and is closed during evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays.
