It is important everyone knows HOW to access dental services as dentists will be able to give the required self-help advice over the phone:
Access to NHS Dentistry is currently limited during the pandemic as all dentists have been asked to stop all routine “face-to-face” dental care.
However, if you need urgent dental care, help is at hand:
CALL your dental practice:
They will give you advice over the telephone and make arrangements for you if you need to be seen.
If you don’t have a dentist, find your nearest dentist and CALL them.
You can search for your nearest dentist at: https://www.nhs.uk/service-search/find-a-dentist
You can also contact NHS 111: You can ask for a translator if you need one. NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
If you’re deaf, you can: – use the NHS 111 British Sign Language service: interpreternow.co.uk/nhs111 – call 18001 111 on a textphone
Do not worry if you have COVID-19 symptoms, appropriate arrangements can be made to see you if you need urgent dental care.
