Why does the NHS pretend there is emergency dental treatment?
hey there good question for this but id just like to say 2 days ago i had major toothache it went on over xmas so i decided to call my dentist (was closed and the nhs number was on the answer fone)..i called this nunber and had to wait for 1 and half hours still no reply other then to b told i am in a cue , i was sick of waiting and hung up , i checked websites and yes the only info i cud find was nhs dental helpline nothing advising you of emergency help …… (not too sure why)in the end i called my local hospital who gave me a different nhs number ..i called this number and he called me bk within 15 minutes as promised , she gave me a number and luckly sumone answered and i got the appointment for 5pm on the same day (had some travelling to do as there was nothing in my area)…but now i cant complain my tooth is out and no more pain …..the best thing i advise is call ure local hospital and they will b able to help…..best of luck(another possibility as for not very good service is all the job cuts within nhs , they did used to be a lot betta just a idea)x 5 years ago 2 people rated this as good great answer thanks
