Opening Hours:

From 1 February 2013

Monday to Friday: Evening Sessions (1 session per day)  - 7.00pm to 10.00pm

2 Sessions per day - 10.00am to 1.00pm, and 7.00pm to 10.00pm

This will replace the previous system of three sessions per day with one dentist on weekends and bank holidays.

Patients should attend as early in a session as possible and bring their medical card. Only emergency or relief of pain treatment will be provided and normal Health Service charges will apply to those who are not exempt. No appointment is required.
