Urgent appointments are available on a first come first serve basis. If there are no urgent NHS appointments available, you may be offered the option to be seen privately or offered the next available appointment, which may be within 72 hours or longer, depending on your symptoms. If you need out of hours dental help or advise, that cannot wait until the practice re-opens, please call NHS 111. Your call will be assessed and if necessary you will be referred to a dental treatment centre.
