A swelling, abcess or signs of infection.
How Much Does it Cost?
The cost of an emergency appointment is £75. This is taken upon booking the appointment is made and a further cost may be required for further treatment. The initial £75 payment will cover an assessment of the problem, X-rays taken at the appointment and a prescription if this is necessary. Further treatment will be charged accordingly.
