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.

Friendly reception and felt at ease with Dr. House and his assistant. All staff were happy to listen to my concerns.

I have had treatment at the Rowcroft Dental Clinic for many years and have always been very satisfied with the care and treatment received, including some quite challenging procedures due to both abscess and physical damage to my teeth.

Lisa is brilliant at her job and makes the experience of going to the hygienist a pleasure

As always an A1 service. I've been using Rowcroft for years and have never had anything but a friendly and professional service. It's why I"ve never moved dentists despite now living 30 miles away

My first visit to Charlotte for hygienists appointment at Rowcroft, was actually enjoyable! As someone who was previously terrified of the dentist, that’s feels the weirdest thing to write but she is so friendly, calm, reassuring and patient. It didn’t hurt at all and the results are great

Exemplary experience once again, thanks so much to Lucy for making it such a positive one. Lucy was patient (I am a nervous client) and explained each part of the process. I waa also late due to road closures but the team were flexible and we made a quick plan. Feel way more confident in my teeth care plan and have trust in this fabulous team. Thank you

The Hygienist I saw Charlotte Milliner was so kind, gentle and professional. I was so at ease with the treatment as I do suffer badly from sensitive teeth so she has taken away all my fears of having pain. Very pleased with her conduct.

Polite professional staff. Excellent treatment.

29th July 2026

I trust the dentist and nurse. They fully explained my procedure and listened to my concerns
