About
SMDEC - Ashton provides NHS emergency dental care for people in need of urgent treatment in Ashton-under-Lyne. Based at the Ashton Primary Care Centre in the Purple Zone (221 Old St, OL6 7SR), the service is designed for situations where dental problems can’t wait for routine appointments. Care is available strictly by appointment. Patients are asked to arrange urgent dental help by telephoning the urgent care service, which will guide them on the next steps and ensure they are booked in appropriately. This referral-only arrangement helps keep the service focused on urgent cases and supports timely access for those who need it most. As an NHS emergency dental provider with referral_only status, SMDEC - Ashton is a useful option for anyone seeking urgent dental care when symptoms are severe or worsening. The team aims to help patients get the urgent attention they require, while directing them through the appointment process via the urgent care telephone service.
