Do not contact your GP as they will not be able to offer emergency or out-of-hours dental care.
If you’re waiting to see a dentist, NHS 111 can offer self-care advice.
Dental surgeries are open for urgent and routine treatments. If you have an NHS dentist, you should contact the surgery by phone or in person.
If you don’t have a dentist, you can search for one here. Unfortunately, most of the 62 practices in Gloucestershire are not taking on any new NHS patients at the present time. NHS England and the ICB are actively working with dentists, with help from patient representatives, to bring more services on board.
If you need urgent dental treatment in an emergency:
- call your dentist: some surgeries offer appointments at short notice
- if you do not have a dentist, call NHS 111
If you need to see a dentist urgently out of hours:
- call your dentist: their voicemail may advise where to get out-of-hours treatment
- call NHS 111 to find an out-of-hours dental service near you
