To ensure you are assessed appropriately and given the correct treatment for a dental problem, you should contact a dentist and not St Johns Surgery.
If you have a dental problem then please contact your local dentist. However, if you do not have a dentist then you can contact the Worcestershire Community Dental Service.
Worcestershire Community Dental Service delivers:
- Urgent dental care for patients who do not have their own dentist
- Special Care Dentistry
- Paediatric Dentistry
