Emergencies & Out Of Hours

No one expects to get a tooth ache and nobody wants to suffer with a tooth ache – any time, any day. If the worst comes to the worst – Atkinson Brignall Caring Dentistry is here to help you.

If you ever have a dental emergency we are only a phone call away.

Our reception team are at their desk from 08.30am Monday to Saturday – ready to take your call. We have specifically made space in our appointment system to make sure that we can try to see you and alleviate your dental distress on the same day. The earlier you call us on 01732 459222 – the sooner we can see you. If we cannot resolve your dental problem there and then, we will do our best to make you comfortable. We’ll be able to discuss what has happened and give you a range of treatment choices. Once you are happy with the best choice of treatment for you – we can arrange the most convenient appointment times for you.

If you are unfortunate enough to have a dental emergency outside of our surgery opening times, simply call our ‘Out of Hours Emergency Service’, manned by our own Sevenoaks Dentists.

Patients of the Atkinson Brignall Caring Dentistry Practice should call the Practice number (01732 459222) and await the answerphone instructions. Please note that the Practice answerphone does not record messages.  The ‘Out of Hours Emergency Service’ mobile phone number is on the answerphone message. Patients of the Practice should call this number only if you have a dental emergency such as facial swelling or persistent bleeding and/ or unrelenting pain. If the dentist ‘On Call’ – a member of the Atkinson Brignall Caring Dentistry team – cannot answer your call immediately, please leave a clear, short message giving your full name and best contact number and a short message explaining your dental emergency. Our ‘On Call’ Sevenoaks dentist will call you back as soon as possible and will be able to give you advice and instructions to manage your emergency, and will arrange to open the Practice to help you if required.
