Christmas and New Year Accident and Emergency Services 2018
The Accident and Emergency service is limited to pain relief for people who have had a dental accident or who require emergency treatment to deal with:
- Bleeding / Hemorrhage
- Serious infection
- Visible swelling in or around the mouth
- Severe pain
- Injuries as a result of a recent trauma / accident
A dentist will determine whether your dental problem is appropriate for treatment by our Accident and Emergency team. Treatment is at the discretion of the screening dentist on duty.
If you are accepted for emergency care, the Accident and Emergency team will do their best to treat you. The treatment may be just temporary – sufficient to relieve the pain and prevent serious damage until you can attend your own Dentist or your Health Board Dentist.
Patients are advised to contact their own Dentist or Health Services Executive (HSE) Dentist for other dental services in the first instance.
