DENTAL EMERGENCIES
You should see your dentist for regular check-ups.
There should be an out-of-hours emergency service with him or her once you have registered at a Dental Practice.
Dental problems are the province of dentists, not doctors and they can pescribe both antibiotics and painkillers, just as doctors do.
Holiday makers and people not registered with a dentist can consult any NHS dentist for advice or else telephone the Emergency Dental Clinic during weekends and Bank Holidays.
If you or your child has a tooth knocked out, carefully pick up the tooth but do not attempt to wash or clean it. Immediately put it into a little cold milk and take it and the patient to your own dentist or to an Accident & Emergency Department.
