Local appointment guide
Professional emergency dental care for patients from Kensington
Kensington is a compact inner-city district built around a major route into central Liverpool. It meets Fairfield around Newsham Park and Edge Hill to the south. Congestion on the radial roads can affect the journey more than the mileage suggests.
Kensington is just east of Liverpool city centre along the Kensington and Prescot Road corridor. The area is associated with Kensington, Prescot Road, Newsham Park and Royal Liverpool University Hospital area. Its postcode coverage is mainly L6 and L7; postcode boundaries are approximate and do not restrict who can book.
If tooth pain, swelling, a broken tooth or a lost restoration is disrupting your day, contact the team before travelling. New patients are welcome and do not need to register for ongoing care. The dentist will assess the problem and explain suitable treatment and costs before proceeding.
When you may need urgent dental care
- Severe daytime or night-time toothache
- A chipped, cracked or broken tooth
- A lost filling, crown, veneer or bridge
- Swelling, infection or wisdom-tooth pain
Call 999 or attend A&E for severe swelling affecting breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or a serious facial injury.
