If you need a dentist urgently

The NHS says you should be offered urgent treatment within 24 hours or 7 days, depending on your symptoms. For a knocked-out adult tooth, it should be within an hour or as soon as possible.
Go to A&E or call 999 if you have:

- heavy bleeding from your mouth that will not stop
- severe swelling of your mouth, lips, throat or neck with difficulty breathing or opening an eye
The Royal Surrey's urgent treatment centre at Haslemere says it cannot treat toothache.
