Nhs dentist = emergency?

Question

i have a cavity in my teeth & i've noticed my mouth has been slightly sore, and my teeths are moving, i need braces - but i dont have a regular dentist. if i ring the emergency dentist at my local hospital on the nhs, can they fill my cavity or whatever, and book me in for a proper dentist quicker??? i'm 15

Answer 1

call the NHS an explain the problem and how much pain your in and im sure they can sort you out asap

Answer 2

If you need to find an NHS dentist you need to call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.  They will find you the nearest NHS denist that is taking on new patients.  You will not have to pay at 15 of course - I don't know why someone said that!  

Your local hospital will only treat you if it's an emergency (ie the pain is so horrific you haven't eaten or slept in 24hrs) and they won't help you with finding a regular dentist.  

Best wishes.

Answer 3

well i got braces and to get them first off you need an orthodontist. and yeah they should fill it because my cousin had the same prob.

Answer 4

It's likely they'll charge you if they treat you at all. Welcome to modern Britain's NHS free treatment for all...
