Recent events have shown that A&E departments across England—such as at Walsall Manor—are overwhelmed with patients, often failing to meet the four-hour target. This strain on resources can negatively impact the NHS for years to come. We all have a responsibility to help reduce the burden on emergency departments by seeking appropriate care for dental issues.
Why A&E Isn’t the Right Place for Dental Problems
When dental services are unavailable, many people rush to A&E for a tooth extraction or relief from toothache. However, A&E staff typically lack the specialized expertise needed to treat dental issues effectively. Antibiotics and painkillers may provide temporary relief, but they rarely address the underlying problem.
Our 24/7 Emergency Dental Service
At The Dentist West Midlands, we offer a dedicated 24/7 emergency service designed to provide prompt and effective dental care. Our service helps relieve local hospitals by ensuring that dental emergencies are managed by specialists, not A&E departments. Many local hospitals already refer patients to us, and we operate every day—including bank holidays.
Why risk waiting in A&E when you’re in severe pain? Our dental professionals are available around the clock—even at 2am—to provide the care you need.
