Human nature being what it is, many people put off seeking regular dental care because they are not aware of any problems or they put them to the back of their mind. This can be quite a dangerous strategy since gum disease usually progresses without pain and an inflamed nerve can become severely painful in a short space of time.

We are here for you at all times to ensure that any pain is a brief experience soon to be forgotten. We advise our patients to contact us before 10am if they find themselves in pain. This enables us to gently relieve you of your discomfort later that day, during sessions specifically allocated for that purpose.

If you experience severe pain outside of surgery hours our answerphone message gives details of the rota dentist on duty in the area. Alternatively, we offer a dental direct service which benefits our patients who specifically want to contact their own dentist.
