At Junction Dental Practice, we offer emergency dental care to our patients of all ages.

Emergency dental care

  • Dental pain that cannot be managed with over the counter pain relief
  • Uncontrollable bleeding following extraction or trauma

  • Clinical assessment and diagnosis, advice and options
  • X-rays if clinically necessary  
  • Issue of prescription for antibiotics if required

This service is available during normal working hours and will help you manage all common urgent dental needs. Urgent care comes under the Band 1 charge unless you have a current NHS exemption. If you should need any follow on treatment  post your urgent care appointment, your dentist will be able to provide you with an exact fee for any further treatment.  It may not be possible to carry out the permanent treatment or restoration at the same time as your urgent care visit. 
 
ORAL CANCER - We are urging everyone to monitor their mouths for long-lasting ulcers that do not heal and remain for a long period, up to three weeks. The appearance of red and white patches in the mouth is another warning sign as are unusual lumps or swellings in the head and neck. A persistently coarse voice can also be cause to seek advice. If you have any of these symptoms please contact us immediately.
  Help and advice is obtainable out of hours by calling the practice on  01924 402 589. Our reception team will be happy to help and advise you during normal working hours.
