Yes, without any limitation. We treat patients from wherever they can reach us, whether that is within Leicester city, from the surrounding Leicestershire villages and towns, or even from further afield. Whetstone is in Blaby district, but we apply no geographical criteria of any kind. Every patient, regardless of postcode or local authority area, is booked and seen on exactly the same basis.
We treat the full range every day, including evenings and weekends. A toothache that has grown unbearable, a tooth that fractures under pressure, a crown or filling that comes away, sudden or progressive swelling in the face or jaw, a dental abscess, bleeding from a socket that will not stop, or a tooth knocked out in an accident. These are not just emergency situations we are equipped for in theory. We see all of them in practice, every week, and we resolve them the same day you call. Ring 07400 400790 and we will arrange your appointment.
The consultation is £40. This is a flat fee that covers a full clinical examination, all necessary X-rays and a detailed explanation of the diagnosis and recommended treatment with costs. Any treatment carried out during the same visit is priced separately, discussed with you and agreed before we begin. Our 0% interest payment plans are available to spread the cost of treatment into monthly instalments at no extra charge.
Call us as soon as possible on 07400 400790. We do not want you sitting in pain at home any longer than necessary, so we will always try to fit you in as soon as possible. While you wait, take ibuprofen and paracetamol as directed if there is no medical reason to avoid them. Rinse gently with warm salt water. Avoid very hot, cold or sweet food and drink on the affected side. Do not apply aspirin directly to the gum or tooth as it can cause tissue irritation. If swelling begins to spread towards your neck or is making it difficult to breathe or swallow, seek emergency medical help immediately rather than waiting for a dental appointment.
We open at 7am on Monday and every other day of the week. The first appointments of the day are available from 7am, which can suit patients who have had a difficult weekend and want to be seen before the working day begins. Call 07400 400790 from 7am on any day and we will arrange your appointment. There is no priority system for the start of the week and same-day slots are available throughout the day.
Our reception team is on hand every day to help.
