Emergency children's dentist?? Post Reply

[supermummy]

Can anyone recommend an out of hours emergency children's dentist? My 21m old son has knocked his front teeth really badly, they are still there but badly out of place. A & E can't help and have turned him away..am resorting to Internet but any recommendations appreciated! He doesn't have a regular dentist as he has long term dental care under great ormond street but they don't do emergencies.

Thank you!

So sorry to hear that. I've been in a similar situation with my little one so I understand how you might be feeling.
I'm surprised A&E couldn't better direct you but I would call 111 and explain the situation. They should have contacts of where you can see a dentist in an emergency http://www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/1776.aspx?categoryid=74

Alternatively, you might want to call a local dentist (I know you're not registered with one, but find a local one, call them and see if their answer phone provides an emergency contact).

All the best, I hope you get to see someone soon.

Definitely King's emergency paediatric dental unit at Denmark hill. Amazing with my son who had to have tooth out. Not sure about Sunday hours but will be open tomorrow. Check out the website. Good luck

Page three has an emergency triage number for out of hours

Poor thing. Hope he's ok.
