Overview
Oral health is vitally important and has a profound impact on our general health. Good dental hygiene from an early age is crucial.
If you don’t have a dentist, please visit Dental Practice Registration Availability or call NHS Grampian DIAL helpline on 0345 45 65 990. They can give you details of NHS dentists close to you, give you dental advice and arrange an emergency appointment. If you have an acute dental emergency at night or the weekend, call NHS 24 on 111.
