Dentistry
Unfortunately we are unable to help if you have a dental problem and so we will ask you to see your dentist. If you are a resident of Leeds, the Leeds Dental Advice Line can help you register with a NHS dentist. Their staff can also give you advice on accessing urgent dental treatment services. To contact the advice line call 0800 298 5787. It is open between 9am and 5pm Monday to Thursday and 9am and 4.30pm on Fridays. For a Dentist outside these hours please call 0345 6059999.
