Dental Emergencies

Prompt dental care is essential for effectively addressing various issues, including pain, swelling, or ongoing discomfort.

​

At The Old Grammar School, we recognize the importance of seeking treatment without delay to protect your health.

Timely care not only accelerates your return to daily activities but also significantly reduces risk of complications, such as infections.

​

Since 1978, our team of dentists have been dedicated to providing exceptional emergency care in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

To prevent future emergencies, we strongly advise all patients to schedule regular check-ups, ensuring that any potential concerns are managed before they escalate.
