Emergency Dentist Appointment

[Springchicken]

DP has got major toothache. Looks like he needs a filling. Over the weekend he went to boots and brought a temperary filling which worked great and now appears to be wearing off. He is a big bloke and was writhign in agony last night

He hasnt been to his dentist for a while so has been taken off of their books. How do i go about getting an emergency appointment for him? IS there a central number or something to ring?

ring NHS direct - they should be able to tell you where the local emergency centre is. Lucky you are at teh beginning of the week - this always happens to me on a Friday and everything is shut then for the weekend.

do you have a dental hospital nearby?

[Springchicken]

No Twig, unfortuantely not.

Am just going to ring my denstist, who is different from DP's and see if they could offer him an emergency appt. Dont know if they can or not but worth a try.
Toothache is horrid

(and how's DD?)
