DS (6) has a few dental issues (mostly down to antibiotics).

He has been in pain today with his tooth (was filled, think its come out/part out). Do you think the dentist will see him tomorrow. He was in a lot of pain today and just about managed, cannot face another day of it tomorrow.

Yes, they will probably see him, they keep a certain amount of appointments free for emergencies so phone first thing.

My eldest had pain so I rang up at midday and they said if you can bring him now he can be seen in twenty mins or if not the dentist will squeeze him in somewhere if you come and wait.
I think with children they will get you in somewhere. :)

Even if your dentist is bust you can usually get same day emergency appointments elsewhere - google local emergency dentist. I got one within an hour!

Sorry phone appears to have eaten the rest of the message. Lovely dentist saw him within an hour. Filling fixed and antibiotics prescribed in case we need them (we do he has a hamster face tonight) Sad

Thanks for all the advice.
