A dental abscess is a collection of pus which can cause toothache and other symptoms. If you suspect that you have a dental abscess, see a dentist as soon as possible for treatment. Without treatment, the condition is likely to become worse and you may lose the affected tooth. Complications are uncommon but can be serious and even life-threatening. GPs are not trained or insured to treat dental problems - do not ring your GP if you have toothache

If your not registered with a dentist please contact the urgent dental clinic on-0333-332-3800 who can arrange for you to be seen.
