What can I book on a Saturday morning?

Dr Davies consults on Saturday mornings from 9:00 to 12:00, and she treats adults and children, so a Saturday appointment can suit people who find it hard to come during the working week, whether for a dental check-up or for a problem that needs attention. Because the morning is short, it is best to call ahead rather than arrive without an appointment. Call Dr Davies on her own mobile, which this page shows.

Can I be seen the same day if I call on a Saturday?

Same-day care is offered where possible, including on a Saturday, but this depends on how the morning is already booked and how urgent your problem sounds. If you wake up with a toothache or a broken tooth on a Saturday, call as early as you can and describe what has happened and how severe it feels, since this helps the practice judge how soon you need to be seen.

Can I get an emergency dental appointment on a Saturday?

Yes. Emergency appointments and an after-hours service are available at weekends and on public holidays, so an emergency appointment can be arranged after the practice closes at 12:00 as well as during the morning. Pain that is severe, that keeps you awake, or that does not settle with ordinary pain relief is worth a call on a Saturday morning rather than waiting until Monday. Swelling in the face or gum, or a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, should also be treated as urgent. Over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen can help while you wait to be seen, taken as the packet directs. The dental emergency guidance on this site sets out which symptoms usually need same-day care and which signs mean a hospital emergency unit rather than a dentist.
