HC Deb 21 April 1969 vol 782 c12W
66. Sir B. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what arrangements are made under the National Health Service to deal with the case of a person contracting violent toothache on a Sunday.

Mr. Crossman

Most dentists do all they can to provide treatment in an emergency particularly for their regular patients. If a patient is unable to get in touch with a dentist, hospitals with accident or emergency services will normally give treatment for the relief of pain.
