A&E Is Not for Dental Emergencies
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 dental training and equipment needed to treat dental issues effectively. Antibiotics and painkillers may provide temporary relief, but they rarely address the underlying problem.
Our Emergency Dental Service
At The Dentist West Midlands, we offer same-day emergency appointments when available, designed to provide prompt and effective dental care. Seeing a dentist for a dental problem gets you the right treatment and helps relieve pressure on local A&E departments.
Why risk waiting in A&E when you're in severe pain? Call 01922 624900 and we’ll find you the earliest available appointment.
When A&E is the right place: if you have swelling that affects your breathing, swallowing or vision, bleeding that won’t stop, or a serious injury to your face or head, call 999 or go to A&E straight away.

What our patients say
So grateful I was recommended to The Dentist.
I have my smile back
They listened to me and guided me on all options and was not pushy, if anything they scaled my thinking back to towards achieving realistic results.
I found we built trust in a very small window which is mainly down to their adherence on delivering patient care.

Treatments I have had is teeth whitening and two front crowns- since having the treatment my confidence has blossomed and my smile is back on point.
I struggle with anxiety and become extremely panicked when in confined zones. The reassurance and care offered/delivered was extremely helpful and I felt safe in the care of The Dentist

I've had several treatments at The Dentist, Implants, Veneers, Emergency Centre, including wisdom tooth extraction, crowns, and fillings, and I couldn't be more pleased with the care I've received. The team is professional, caring, and ensures every visit is as comfortable as possible. The dentist took great care to make sure I felt at ease during each procedure, and the results have always been excellent. Whether it's routine dental work or something more complex, I highly recommend trying this place. They truly go above and beyond to provide exceptional service

I've been going to this dentist for almost a year now initially it was just to clean my teeth and do regular check ups and I was really happy with how kind everyone was and the quality of the treatments. After a while I wanted to do teeth whitening but didn't know anything about it or the process. I had a consultation with them and they ran through the treatment, cost and everything I needed to know. After a few weeks of using the gels my teeth were considerably whiter and I was receiving compliments from my family and friends on my smile. After a while they suggested I consider veneers for two pegs on the top of my teeth, they also do a monthly instalment and after a few weeks considering it I decided to do it and was very happy with the results. It looks very natural and matches my teeth perfectly and made me a lot more confident with my smile and was getting compliments from a lot of people shortly after getting it done. Would definitely recommend coming here everyone is very welcoming, friendly and professional and I've never had any complaints with any of the treatments
