DentaLine provides emergency treatment for patients who develop severe dental problems when dental surgeries are closed.

At DentaLine, treatment is limited to pain relief and temporary dressings. Following your appointment with DentaLine, you should book an appointment with your own dentist to complete your treatment. If you do not have a dentist, please contact the Dental Helpline.

NHS charges apply, unless you are exempt. Proof of exemption must be shown at time of treatment. Payment must be made before seeing the dentist.

Clinics are held at a variety of locations and times. Attendance is by appointment only.
