Need Urgent Dental Care? Help Is Now Easier to Access
If you’re in pain or experiencing an urgent dental issue, NHS urgent dental appointments are now
available across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
As part of the Government’s national commitment to deliver 700,000 additional urgent dental
appointments, the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) is expanding
access to urgent dental care in your local area. This is part of the ICB’s Local Dental Plan to
improve dental access, address workforce challenges, and support better oral health for all
communities. This means that:
• Over 16,000 new urgent dental appointments will be made available each year across
Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
• The new appointments will be provided in addition to existing NHS urgent dental care
services.
These urgent slots are reserved for patients in need of immediate care, such as:
• Severe dental pain or swelling
• Infections or dental trauma
• Bleeding or urgent post-treatment issues
You’ll be signposted to available urgent appointments by contacting the Staffordshire and Stoke
on-Trent Dental Advice Line (via Community Dental Services).
Appointments are offered based on clinical need and availability at local dental practices who
have signed up to provide additional urgent care slots.
