PATIENTS WITH DENTAL PROBLEMS - EMERGENCY GUIDANCE
Patients often attend GP practice with dental problems. GPs are not able to fully assess and treat dental problems. Treating patients with dental problems is not a GP responsiblity, even if a patient is not registered with a dentist.
If you have a toothache or other dental issues you will need to contact your local dentist or telephone NHS 111 if your usual dental surgery is closed or you are not registered with a dentist.
