HC Deb 18 October 1966 vol 734 c25W
Sir C. Taylor

asked the Minister of Health what emergency services under the National Health Service are available at weekends to those suffering from acute toothache.

Mr. K. Robinson

Most dental practitioners are willing to do all they can to treat their own patients in an emergency. If a patient is unable to get in touch with a dentist hospitals with accident or emergency services will normally give treatment at least for the relief of pain.
