Check train times with National Rail or East Midlands Railway before you travel, especially on Sundays and bank holidays.

We're open every day of the year:

• Monday to Friday: 8:00am to 7:30pm
• Saturday and Sunday: 9:00am to 5:30pm
• Bank holidays: open

The weekday evening hours help if you work in Sleaford and want to come over after work. Call before you set off and we'll give you a time that fits the train or the drive.

Call us the same day for:

• toothache that painkillers don't help, or that's lasted more than 2 days
• a swollen gum, cheek or jaw, which can be a dental abscess
• a broken, chipped or knocked-out tooth, see our broken tooth page
• a lost filling or crown, or a tooth that hurts when you bite

Our toothache page explains what you can do while you wait.

Go to A&E or call 999 for a serious injury to your face or jaw, bleeding from your mouth that won't stop, or swelling of your mouth, lips, throat or neck with difficulty breathing. Don't drive yourself. If you're not sure, call NHS 111.

1. We ask what happened, where it hurts and what makes it worse.
2. Your dentist checks the tooth and takes an X-ray if it's needed.
3. We explain the cause and your options, with the price of each.
4. We ease the pain the same day where we can, and book any further treatment at a time that suits you.

If your tooth needs root canal treatment, we tell you the price first. A molar starts from £700, and the full list is on our pricing page.
