Private Emergency Dental Care
During a dental emergency, it’s important to act quickly to get the care you need. Here’s what to do and who to contact depending on when the emergency occurs.
We offer emergency appointments for patients who require urgent or emergency care at our practice locations in Bodmin and Newquay. If you are looking for emergency dental care at our Saltash practice, please click here to be directed to our Keast Mews Dental Centre website.
How do I book an emergency appointment?
If it’s during working hours, you should call the practice on 0333 405 0291 and select your location and ask for an emergency appointment. We always prioritise emergency patients and aim to offer an appointment within 24-48 hours.
When our Bodmin and Newquay practices are closed (during evenings, weekends and bank holidays) you can still be seen through our NHS Unscheduled Dental Care service, proudly commissioned by NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board. To access this service, please contact one of our friendly Call Handlers on 0333 405 0290, or click here for more information.
What can I expect at my private emergency appointment?
Your dentist’s priority in your emergency appointment is to get you out of pain. This is not a full dental examination.
At your appointment we will discuss your dental concern, aim to diagnose the issue, explain your treatment options and aim to carry out treatment based on that diagnosis to help manage your dental emergency.
