Emergency treatment abroad

If you are registered with us on the DPAS membership plan and you are away from the UK, you can get emergency treatment advice by calling +44 1691 887 955

Out Of Hours:

When the surgery is closed, you may need urgent treatment if you have:

Toothache or swelling that suggests an infection of a tooth or gum
Severe toothache or facial pain which is not controlled by taking over-the-counter painkillers
Trauma of the face, mouth or teeth after a recent accident or injury
A permanent tooth knocked out
Bleeding after tooth extraction that you cannot control
Serious swelling of the mouth or face which is getting worse

Please call the practice for advice. If the practice is closed you can leave us a message and we will endeavour to return your call. If the dentist does need to come and open the surgery out of normal working hours, there will be a £100 call-out fee for Private registered clients.
