FAQS

No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.

The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

Rosie, my Dentist listened to the problem I had with my teeth, did a thorough job of examining and explained what the pain could possibly be. She gave me some antibiotics to take and just after 2 days I am pain free and I am extremely grateful to her.

Over the many years I’ve been attending dentist’s and oral hygienists, NHS, Private and military I have never felt I’m in better and safe hands as I do at the BDS. I used to be terrified of the dentists and have suffered under the hands of military dentists that do everything without anaesthetic. Here at BDS I can quite peacefully go to sleep whilst undergoing whatever I need done. Today I got a gold star, the first ever. So, thank you Rosie, Katherine and all at BDS for( BEING THERE TO CARE) for our teeth and gums.<br>Bob Rowley
