FAQS

No, we welcome both registered and non-registered patients for emergency appointments.

The cost of an emergency dental appointment can be found on our fees page. The cost of your dental treatment can vary depending on the problem and any treatment required.

 We will always explain any costs clearly before starting treatment.

We aim to provide immediate relief and may begin treatment during your emergency appointment. However, some treatments may require a follow-up visit depending on complexity.

No, a dental infection will not go away without treatment. While symptoms may temporarily improve, the infection will remain. Our dentists can give you full detailed advice during your appointment.

If you experience pain, trauma, swelling, or damage to a tooth, contact the practice as soon as possible. Our team will assess your situation and arrange an urgent appointment where needed.

During your appointment, the dentist will:

  • Examine the problem
  • Identify the cause
  • Relieve pain where possible
  • Explain your options

The priority is to get you comfortable and stabilise the issue.

Tooth pain can feel worse at night because lying down increases blood flow to the head, which can increase pressure in the affected tooth. There are also fewer distractions, making the pain feel more intense.

I had a great experience at Rowcroft Dental in Stroud. Lucy was very attentive and took the time to clearly explain all the treatment options, which really helped me feel at ease. I was quite nervous, but everything went smoothly. Her dental nurse/assistant was also excellent. They worked very well together, and the whole experience felt very professional and reassuring

The location of the Dentist At Rowcroft is greatThe Reception area is pleasant and well maintained and often has educational information on the wallsCatherine on the Reception is always delightful and makes me feel very much at ease. I actually left my previous dental practice because of the unprofessional attitude of the Reception Staff, but At Rowcroft it’s an entirely different experience.Becky the hygienist is the main reason why I return for hygiene appointments as previously I found them scary and unpleasant but Becky works with you and is always positive in her approachDemetrious, the Dentist is professional and effective and definitely improve my dental experiences as I find it a scary Place. Because of his calm demeanour, I have opted to have more treatments than then I would’ve thought I’d be able to cope with.The dental nurses that are always warm and welcoming and put you at ease
