Emergency dental care is designed for problems that cannot safely wait for a routine appointment. This includes situations involving escalating pain, infection, swelling, trauma, or dental injury.

Patients travelling from Sheffield typically access care by:
Contacting the practice to explain their symptoms

Attending the Deepcar clinic for examination and stabilisation
Emergency dental appointments are prioritised based on clinical urgency rather than arrival order.
