NHS

​

If you are suffering with pain and not registered with a dental practice or you are experiencing dental pain out of hours you can contact the emergency dental helpline via CAV 24/7 on 0300 10 20 247.

​

A member of the primary care team will triage you and if you require an appointment you will be booked into the emergency dental clinics at the Dental Hospital or St David’s Hospital.

​

You will receive advice on pain relief and will be, if appropriate, booked into the most appropriate emergency location for your problem, which may be a Primary Care Dentist, Community Dentist or the University Dental Hospital.

For those seeking NHS dental services and do not currently have a dentist, there is a new Dental Access Portal.

To access the new Dental Access Portal, please click here​ or scan the QR code below

You will need to know your NHS number, which can be found by clicking here

​

NB we cannot accept new NHS patients unless you come via the Dental Access Portal

with the exception of children or grandchild of current patients (under 18s only)

or exceptional circumstances with permission from Cardiff & Vale UHB

​

NB if you have not attended in over 3 years, you are no longer an NHS patient of the practice, and be required to enter your details on the Dental Access Portal. You may be allocated a different practice when reach to top of the list.
