University Of Bristol Dental Hospital FAQs
Do i need any documents and is the treatment free? I need a tooth removed asap

Did you do emergency treatment
They do, but only on a Monday-Friday.
You need to phone 111 if it's the weekend.
Do I need an appointment to see a dentist
Go there for 8am as they take quota of patients for a day. I got there for 10am, went through triage and they did treat me as I was in pain but if it's not urgent and you get there later they might ask you to come the next day for 8am.
Can i seek treatment for desquamtive gingivitis at this institute?
You need to be referred by your dentist.
Can I turn up at the Dental hospital on Tuesday for them to have them sort out two back teeth thank you
They might treat you if you say they are causing pain. You need to turn up as early and they might do something temporary with the teeth and give you an appointment to come back.
Update 2023. You need to phone before 8.30 and if you have extreme pain, unable to eat or sleep, swelling and no dentist, they will see you that morning. The phones are very busy so keep re dialling and they will see you that morning, but be ready because they will ask you to be there within the hour.

Do you do root canal work? My NHS dentist won't do it, as they say they don't have the equipment and they recommend I go private.
You can self-refer and you'll be assessed but we do root canal treatment here, as long as it's appropriate for a dental student to do as it's a teaching hospital :)
A crown has come off, the tooth beneath is sensitive. Can Someone at the dental hospital stick the crown back on until I can get it attended to properly
Do I need a referal to have remaining teeth removed and dentures fitted?. Cannot afford practice dentist fees.

Can you please let me know if they do fillings.
They will only do fillings if your part of the out patient program. If you cue up first thing in the morning they will assess the issue but only fix it if you are bleeding or have swelling
I've had a tooth out on last Tuesday but still in really bad pain up all night with pain can you tell me what to do next please
Ring the main reception desk and tell them. They should make you an appointment to be seen again.
DO I NEED TO MAKE ANY APPOINTMENT BEFORE TO GO TO DENTAL HOSPITAL
Definitely! I called once when my son fell and cracked his tooth, they said of course, come in as it's an emergency. But when I came, they said, we don't see blood or swelling so we won't help, go to dentist (who was fully booked!!). They lied on the phone and let me down. There's no swelling instantly, it happens after a few hours. So many horrible experiences with this place!! In the end we always find private places to help in emergencies.
do they do teeth crowns for free?
If I don't pay for prescriptions would i have to pay for dental treatment?
Treatment is free for most treatments, i believe.
