our own dentist doesnt answer calls out of hours even when bound by contract.
NHS direct gives out numbers reluctantly that dont answer either.
Does this help only exist on paper?
Why doesnt any NHS lierature or websites mention urgent dental care?
Why does the NHS pretend there is emergency dental treatment?
hey there good question for this but id just like to say 2 days ago i had major toothache it went on over xmas so i decided to call my dentist (was closed and the nhs number was on the answer fone)..i called this nunber and had to wait for 1 and half hours still no reply other then to b told i am in a cue ,
i was sick of waiting and hung up , i checked websites and yes the only info i cud find was nhs dental helpline nothing advising you of emergency help ...... (not too sure why)
in the end i called my local hospital who gave me a different nhs number ..i called this number and he called me bk within 15 minutes as promised , she gave me a number and luckly sumone answered and i got the appointment for 5pm on the same day (had some travelling to do as there was nothing in my area)...
but now i cant complain my tooth is out and no more pain .....
the best thing i advise is call ure local hospital and they will b able to help.....
best of luck
(another possibility as for not very good service is all the job cuts within nhs , they did used to be a lot betta just a idea)

Reply:Weeeellll, there are indeed NHS dentists around - just rare nowadays!
I know it is the general practice that if you currently attend an NHS dentist, then you *may* be seen at your nearest dental hospital - it is at their discretion and you will still have to make whatever payment that arises for whatever procedure you have undergone (though this is still cheaper than attending an NHS dentist!) but this depends on whether you are in employment or whether you obtain certain monetary benefits which will have to be proven with an exemption card.
Some dental surgeries have both private and NHS patients on their books. It is clear that private patients have a higher/increased chance of getting an appointment compared to those that are NHS patients!
