Access to this service is primarily via telephone to allow for a dental registration check to be completed and telephone triage undertaken prior to an appropriate appointment being offered. If accessing a telephone is not an option, we do have provision for patients who walk in, however, we cannot guarantee that you will be seen on same day. You may be asked to attend your own dentist or to return the following day.

The above information is also available in audio, on the telephone number
