Dentist open today or taking new patients: what to ask
If you are looking for a dentist near me, our directory helps you find a practice in your neighbourhood, town or a nearby locality. Each listing shows the address, phone number and stated opening hours.

Dentist appointment: how to book and what to bring
Booking arrangements vary between practices in Newell Green. Some dentists only see patients by appointment, while others keep a few same-day slots for urgent problems such as severe pain or a lost filling. When you call, explain the reason for your visit, the patient's age, your symptoms and how long they have lasted. Bring a list of your medicines, any allergies and proof of exemption if you claim free NHS treatment.
What can you see a dentist for?
A dentist can help with toothache, tooth decay, gum problems, a chipped or broken tooth, a lost crown or filling, sensitivity, mouth ulcers that do not heal or a wisdom tooth causing pain. They also carry out check-ups, scale and polish, fillings, root canal treatment, extractions and dentures, and can refer you to a specialist or a hospital dental service when needed. A dentist for kids can check your child's teeth and offer prevention advice.
NHS and private dental care in the UK
Many practices offer both NHS dental care and private treatment. In England, you do not formally register with a dentist as you do with a GP: you contact a practice that is accepting NHS patients, and NHS treatment is charged according to set bands. In Scotland, you register with a dentist for NHS care, and rules on charges differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. NHS dental treatment is free for children under 18, and for certain other groups such as pregnant women, those who have had a baby in the last 12 months and people receiving some benefits. Ask the practice which charges apply to you.

In Northern Ireland, contact your local out-of-hours dental service through your health trust. In case of facial swelling affecting your breathing, swallowing or vision, heavy bleeding that will not stop or a serious injury to the face, call 999 or go to A&E.
