It was announced earlier this year that 700,000 emergency dental appointments were being made available, with over 10,000 assigned to Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
People can get an urgent appointment by visiting NHS 111 or phoning 111. You don’t need to be registered with an NHS dental practice to book an urgent appointment.
The appointments are for urgent conditions including: severe toothache, dental abscess, broken or knocked-out tooth, uncontrolled bleeding, significant swelling, fractured, loose or displaced fillings causing pain, and bleeding gums requiring urgent treatment for acute conditions. Other treatments may be available at the discretion of the dentist. These treatments may require extra visits and costs.
