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.

Please use the following following link to: How to find an NHS Dentist
