When you contact us with an urgent dental concern, the team at Knights Dental Merthyr Tydfil will ask a few questions to understand your symptoms and determine how quickly you need to be seen. During normal opening hours, we aim to provide same-day emergency appointments wherever possible.
At your appointment, your dentist will examine the affected area, take any necessary X-rays, and focus on relieving pain or stabilising the problem. You will then be advised on the most appropriate next steps for treatment. If your dental emergency happens outside our usual hours, you can still contact the practice and choose the emergency option. You will receive clear advice on how to manage your symptoms safely until you are able to attend the clinic.
