Getting help with a dental problem

If you are registered with a dentist

1. Contact your dental practice for an appointment. The dental practice will give you advice about the options available and guide you to make sure you get the right treatment.
2. When your practice is closed, you should hear a message which provides details of their out-of-hours arrangements for providing advice and treatment.
3. Outside normal working hours, if you have an urgent dental need, call NHS24 on 111 for out-of-hours emergencies.

If you are not registered with a dentist

1. See dental practices currently registering adults and children for NHS services.
2. Call the dental helpline for help with registration or emergency care.
3. Outside normal working hours, if you have an urgent dental need, call NHS24 on 111 for out-of-hours emergencies.
