Emergency Treatment and Advice

If you are experiencing dental pain you should contact your dentist to get an appointment. All dentists should have capacity for emergencies if you are a regular attender and it is within normal working hours. 

If you are not a regular attender with a general dental practice or you are experiencing dental pain outside of normal working hours you can contact the emergency dental helpline via CAV 24/7 on 0300 10 20 247

A member of the CAV 24/7 team will assess your needs over the telephone, and if appropriate you will be booked into one of the emergency dental clinics. 

You will receive advice on pain relief and will be, if needed, booked into the most appropriate emergency location for your problem, which may be a Primary Care Dentist i.e. High street, Community Dentist or the University Dental Hospital. This may not be the closest setting to your home address. 

The Community Dental Service does not provide a 24-hour emergency service and is closed during evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
