HC Deb 31 January 1952 vol 495 c45W
72. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Health whether he will arrange that an emergency dental service shall be available whereby anyone can secure immediate temporary treatment if away from home, or be otherwise prevented from being attended by his own registered dentist.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

Under the National Health Service people can seek treatment from any dentist taking part in the Service, and executive councils have been asked to seek the help of the profession in making suitable arrangements, whether by rotas or otherwise, to provide for dental treatment in an emergency.
