Emergency Dental Service
Emergency dental treatment can be provided out of hours when a patient's clinical condition needs prompt attention by a dentist to manage / address dental pain on a temporary basis to allow them to then seek a permanent resolution from a general dentist.
We are able to provide:
- Urgent assessment
- Diagnosis
- Advice on treatment options
- Preventative care and advice
- Limited surgical treatment, if necessary to relieve pain
- The taking of radiographs
- The issue of prescriptions
- Simple extractions
You will be asked several COVID-19 screening questions when calling the Emergency Dental Service, and appointments are limited.
- Service Location:West Sussex
- How To Access:
The Emergency Dental Service is an appointment only service, walk-ins cannot be accepted. Patients can telephone the clinics direct to book an appointment or if all appointments are taken, receive advice from a Dentist over the telephone.
Each session can accommodate 7 appointments. Patients are placed into a call waiting system to speak to reception to book a appointment if you meet our treatment criteria. The call waiting system will only hold 6 patients in the queue to limit the length of time waiting in the queue. If all 7 appointments are allocated the message will change to notify patients. Please keep retrying until the message advises that all appointments are taken. The service is very busy and appointments tend to get booked up fast after phone lines open.
If you want to speak to a Dentist, please hold on the line to be put through to a receptionist and we may be able to offer a telephone appointment - you may be asked to share photographs to enable this.
Patients should telephone to make an appointment as soon as possible after the service opens: - Contact Details:
