There are no geographical restrictions on which practice a patient may attend. NHS England’s Customer Contact Centre or NHS 111 can also advise patients seeking urgent care. During the pandemic, over 750 urgent care centres were available to provide National Health Service dental care to patients and many of these are still in operation and can be accessed via NHS 111.
