NHS Dental Emergencies
If you require urgent dental treatment contact the practice as soon as possible. You will be charged the emergency fee of £21.40. If you're entitled to free NHS dental care, you should be able to claim back the cost of any treatment.
If you're asked to come back for further treatment, this will be considered to be a separate course of non-urgent treatment and you will be expected to pay the relevant charge for the new course of treatment.
